But without being silly about it, the time it took you to type that post was the same time it took for the Sheikh to pay Vieiras first weeks wages. It is like you having a thousand pounds in 10p's in your pockets, and spending one of those 10 p's, only to find 20p a minute later. It is nothing and if he improves the team, what do we care? its not our money!

In his day he was arguably one of the best midfileders in the world, but he's had a few injuries and at his age he's obviously well past his best.
Who knows? Could be an inspired signing, or a total flop.
really kent blue, how did u find out about this, are you ITK?
Edit. Just seen the previous topic about him. Sorry chaps.

He's not costing much money (even if he is our owners can afford it) His arrival wont disrupt the squad because they'll know Viera isn't a long term threat to their place in the team. If we're in need of hanging on to slender lead against a top team, Viera would be a great person to bring on to see the game out. His height is also a great advantage, I'm all for this signing, sooner we get him in the better.

Can't see him being happy to sit on our bench in World Cup year.

look at the Boro game at weekend - we desperately needed to rest our midfield ahead of the derby (before it was called off....), so much so that Barry was on bench and we took Nige off and ended up with Sylvia playing central midfield.
who would you prefer to play central midfield, Sylvia or Vieira?
not too tricky to answer is it.....
