of course not.

Oh yes it is....Official Arsenal Statement.


Arsenal Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for the transfer of Patrick Vieira to Juventus for a total fee of 20 million Euros.

At this stage, Patrick is now finalising his personal terms and conditions with Juventus.

The Club would like to take this opportunity to recognise the enormous contribution Patrick has made to Arsenal since he joined as Arsène Wenger's first signing in 1996. During his time at the Club, Patrick made over 400 first team appearances, with three years as Captain and was instrumental in the Club winning three Premiership titles and the FA Cup on four occasions.

Also during his time at Arsenal, Patrick enjoyed great success with the French national team, by winning the World Cup in 1998 and the European Championships in 2000. He also became the Captain of France and made a total of 79 caps for France as an Arsenal player.

Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wish Patrick the best of luck for the future.

Speaking to Arsenal.com, Manager Arsène Wenger said: “I share the sadness with our supporters that Patrick has left us, but on the other hand I would say to them trust us and support us. We’ll be strong next season and we need you behind us like you have always been. We will not disappoint you.

"Patrick was a great player for us, one of the greatest in the Club’s history and I feel I had a special relationship with him because I made him come here. I think his impact, not only at Arsenal but in English football overall was just tremendous.

"The sad thing is that he leaves us, but the good thing is that he leaves us on a high. His last kick for the Club was symbolic as it won us the FA Cup.

"Patrick will always be special for Arsenal Football Club, always in our hearts and our minds. All I can do is thank him for all he gave to the Club and wish him well in his career."

Patrick Vieira added: “When you spend nine years at the Club, like I did, it is a difficult decision to leave. But in the end you have to make a choice for your future. It was a very difficult decision, but I am happy with it.

"I made the decision to leave because I felt it was time for me to have a new challenge. But that does not mean I was unhappy or that I was having a problem at Arsenal.

"It was just that I had the feeling I needed to grow and meet a new challenge, and I feel Juventus was the best challenge for me.

"I‘d like to thank the Arsenal fans. They have been fabulous. Even recently in the street they were saying ‘if you are going, then thanks for the last nine years’. That is really touching and it makes me feel that I gave my best for the Club.

"I can go with my head held high. I did my best every day in training and in every match, and I left shaking the hand of Arsène Wenger and Mr Dein. That was really important to me."

F*ck! Nedved and Vieira in Juventus' midfield will cause everyone trouble, including us...

Juve looks strong...
attack: del piero, trez, ibra, zalayeta, mutu
mid: nedved, emerson, vieira, camoranessi, oliviera, tacchinardi, appiah
def: birindelli, cannavaro, ferrara, montero, thuram, zambrotta, zebina
gk: buffon

in the space of 12 months they have got ibra, mutu, cannavaro and now vieira...
juve are getting stronger and stronger... while... we erm are getting older and older...

What a really mind games has been played by Moggi this season. First, the rumour of Vieira would have gone to Real Madrid was just finally turned down as time went by last season, and secondly without public's attention to what is going to happen in next few days, we were shocked by Juve's move by signing Arsenal's icon. I would say, this is the one of biggest surprise into transfer policy I never thought before.

If this headlines got related to Capello's remarks over duo Milano city rivals, it signs they are ready set to begin new campaign of targeting ambitious this season. A Pyschological warfare had been prepared by Juve board into this matter which Don Fabio succeeds diverted attention from real agenda they organize. Milan just seem got stuck nowhere, not another pleasant progress yet in sight after Vieri deals while Juve advance into one step ahead of us. And anything else they would like to make it, I have no idea...

And I am personally not HAPPY to see this thing out.

That has got to be the stupidest transfer of the summer. I doubt at his age and current form, he will adapt to a new environment+ team in the serie a. He would have been a good signing for Liverpool but will probably spend the season on the bench with Inter after the first half of the season is complete. I thought Milan made 1 of the stupidest transfer when we signed vieri. Well, you can always count on our "beloved" neighbours to out do us with something dumber. Congratulations!
