Vieira's doing his job for City, and we shouldn't criticise him for that. If he's encouraging players to join, well there's nothing wrong with that, the players and/or the club are free to say no (as Arsene said about the Cahill deal)

We should stop criticising City and people working for City, as if this dismal summer is somehow their fault and that they've destabilised the club. If they've done anything wrong, Arsenal would have reported them. So far we haven't, suggesting they've not broken any rules regarding their transfer dealings with us.

Perhaps one of the questions we should ask is why so many players want to leave the club to go to City at the moment? Yes, players are attracted by the money they can earn at City, but that's not the only reason. City are the club going places at the minute, and are not simply content to finish in the Champions League places and pick up the revenue. They want to progress as a club and win trophies, which at least one of the reasons why they're such an attractive proposition for so many players at the moment.

Vieira is a winner, and in City he sees a club that's ambitious and won't settle for second best, the way we used to be. I'm not surprised whatsoever that he's enjoying his role at that club, and criticising him is simply sour grapes.
