Vieira can also play further up the pitch...just as we saw against Udinese. He was a force going forward and I have to say he's much better going forward than Emerson.

I'm not sure if I agree with that. IMO Vieira is the better player going forward, and also stringing passes together around the pitch.

I used to think Vieira and Emerson had about the same abilities, however it's quite that the former is better with the ball at his feet...the way he has been able to slip past opponents in midfield is really exceptional. Nobody could touch him today against Udinese, and they have some great...

Vieira has been our best player thus far in the season. I don't recall one terrible mistake the guy has made and his passing and ball control in midfield has been world class. In today's match nobody could take the ball from him and he was skipping past defenders in midfield like they were not...

Well to be honest it did not look like Vieira wanted to play at Arsenal any more with some of performances. For some reason he struck me as a player who tried to give his best even though he wanted something else, which was a move to a team that could actually challenge for the Champions...

Well, you can thank Capello for not getting Pizarro. Supposedly he is not good enough defensively to suit Fabio, and I sort of agree with him. However what we would gain with Pizarro picking the ball up in midfield would take away from his lack of defensive ability simply because we wouldn't...

The thing is though both Vieira and Emerson are better defensively than the English duo, and being the professionals as they are I don't really see a problem with the players switching and covering for each other. Even Blasi and Emerson switched with each other last year, and that worked out...

That is exactly right Jeeks. For this to work we must have two players who are equally adept at attacking and defending, and we certainly have them in Emerson and Vieira.

To be honest, IMO Vieira is more adept with the ball at his feet, however both Emerson and the Frenchman are about equal in the passing department. I remember when Emerson was with Roma Capello gave him a license to roam forward with Dacourt/Tomassi holding back and I remember him making some...

I concur with that as well. IMO Vieira is also better with the ball at his feet than Puma.

Vieira just seems like the type of player to settle in nicely at Juventus, and that's not just because he has his buddies Thuram and Trezeguet next to him on the pitch. It will be interesting to see whether Emerson or Vieira will take a more advanced role in the straight 4 midfield, and if I...
