VIEIRA STAYING
Vieira Stays At Arsenal
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/3560576.stm
Patrick Vieira will stay at Arsenal after rejecting a move to Real Madrid.
Vieira was thought to be on the brink of a £23m move to The Bernabeu, but has revealed: "The ties that I have here were too strong for me to break.
"I'm staying at the club. I'm proud to be captain of the club and I'm looking forward to achieving my ambitions."
The 28-year-old Arsenal captain's decision will provide a massive boost to Arsene Wenger's champions on the eve of the new Premiership campaign.
Vieira had looked destined for the Bernabeu, but late hitches scuppered the deal and he will now stay on at Highbury.
There was confusion about what had delayed the deal, with reports of differences over personal terms and the fee to be paid by Real.
But the deal is now dead after Vieira's decision to publicly pledge his future to Arsenal.
Wenger had given Vieira a deadline of Sunday to make up his mind about his future, and the French talisman has delivered the verdict Arsenal wanted.
"I¿ve spent the summer considering my future and a possible move to Real Madrid, but my love for Arsenal and the ties which I have here were too strong for me to break."
Real will press ahead with their proposed move for Liverpool's Michael Owen.

Right. So it’s nothing to do with Vieira not being able to agree personal terms with Madrid. Nothing to do with them offering a wage below the Galacticos like Zidane, Raul, Beckham et al? That statement is best served with a very hefty pinch of salt.
You’ll forgive me if I appear a little cynical but our captain has been playing us along all summer long, trying to engineer a move to Madrid, and now we’re supposed to jump for joy because he’s deigned to stay with us. For the love, of course. Not for any other reason.
I stand by what I said earlier in the summer. Patrick Vieira wanted to leave Arsenal. He wanted to join Real Madrid. You may choose to believe it or not, but I know what I believe. Our captain, his agent and all the other assorted representatives have put the Arsenal fans through the mill this summer, not to mention the disruption he must have caused to the manager’s plans. Vieira’s behaviour was not acceptable for Arsenal’s captain and to my mind he’s made his position in that role untenable. We should have a new captain, one who is 100% committed to Arsenal Football Club, not one who’s staying only because the deal to go to Madrid didn’t work out for whatever reason.
That said we still have the services of one of the best midfielders in the world and our squad is undoubtedly stronger with him in, but Patrick Vieira has stained his reputation with lots of Arsenal fans. That’s all.
