Vieira sold too soon, says Adams

Vieira completes move to Juventus

Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams believes manager Arsene Wenger should not have sold Patrick Vieira so soon.

Midfielder Vieira moved to Juventus in the summer in a £13.7m transfer.

Adams told the Daily Mirror: "Selling Patrick may have been a year too early. Maybe he could have brought the younger guys on. It could have been an error.

"Arsenal have an inexperienced squad. A very young team. Chelsea have got some good ready-made players. It could be a transitional year for Arsenal."

Adams added: "At the moment I don't see the quality at Arsenal.

"Senderos could be a good player. He did fantastically well when he came in last year, but the energy saps in the second season.

"Toure is a bit hit and miss all of sudden."
