patrick-vieira Michael Owen’s transfer to Manchester United may not be the shock of the summer. Birmingham manager Alex McLeish is hitting the streets to find a new midfielder, and all rumors point to Joey Barton, Barry Ferguson, and… Patrick Vieira.

The former Arsenal captain has fallen hard and far from his days as a Premier League winner, and with his place in the Inter Milan squad all but gone, Vieira could be on the move this summer.

Birmingham City chairman David Gold has confirmed the Premier League newboys’ interest, and holds hope that the 33 year old will join the Blues.

Gold said: “I’d like to think there are a couple more signings who might wet the appetite and I don’t think the Vieira deal is dead.

“Players play it cool for a while and wait for better deals. The situation is not dissimilar to that of Michael Owen, who waited for Manchester United’s offer.

“There is every possibility he (Vieira) will decide he wants to get back into the Premier League and that he can do that with us.”

Vieira at Birmingham? Surely not? Or maybe… Well, have your say below!
