vincedude,
I think you are on the wrong track here. Vieira isn´t the issue, we are a different team now and Wenger realized ealier than most of us, that there is no second Vieira nor a replacement for him.
Cesc is the future, with a completely different role (which requires an alert and focussed defensive midfielder like Gilberto and two wingers working both defensively and in attack).
The question for me is: who can cover for Cesc when he is injured as a playmaker - and who can cover for Gilberto (e.g. Flamini).
