Wenger: Vieira good enough for Prem
The Arsenal boss had considered moving for his old midfield enforcer, now seemingly surplus to requirements at Inter Milan.[LNB]However, Wenger decided against pursuing his initial interest during the summer, instead placing faith in youngsters like Aaron Ramsey, Abou Diaby and Denilson.[LNB]New Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is, though, reported to be ready to offer the 33-year-old - whom he signed while in charge at Inter during 2006 - a return to England, initially on a loan deal, as Vieira aims to cement his place in the French World Cup squad.[LNB]Lyon were also keen to bring Vieira back to Ligue 1, but it now appears Eastlands could be his next stop.[LNB]"I will respect Patrick forever for what he has done and what he has achieved here," Wenger said.[LNB]"We have young players in his position and are not in a real need to bring players in this position."[LNB]The Arsenal manager added: "I was surprised it was Manchester City, because there were more talks about other clubs, but it is a good opportunity for him.[LNB]"I believe he will still be very effective in the Premier League because he has been injury free for three or four months and that is what he needed."[LNB][LNB]
