We don’t need Vieira, says Wenger

ARSENE WENGER has £13.7m to spend and insists life and the pursuit of trophies must go on after Patrick Vieira’s departure.

The manager will be given the funds from Vieira’s sale to strengthen a squad he is already convinced will rise to the challenge of being without their former captain.

Wenger said: “You have to respect that a player can have the second part of his career somewhere else. It leaves a massive hole because of his quality, presence and charisma and that’s not easy to replace.
