Patrick Vieira has stepped up his bid to leave Arsenal with an amazing attack on the club's board, his team-mates and Arsene Wenger's summer signings.
The Frenchman insists that he wants a fresh challenge and the chance to win things, dismissing the Gunners as also-rans among Europe's elite.

Indeed, the 25-year-old believes that Arsenal will even struggle to make an impression on the domestic scene next season.
Vieira told The Sun: "People should know this is nothing to do with money.
"I need to leave because I want to win more trophies and I just cannot see that happening at Arsenal. Certainly not over the next few years, anyway.
"Comparing Arsenal to the big clubs in Europe this season is going to be quite ridiculous.
"I do not honestly see Arsenal finishing in the top five in the league - and you can forget the Champions League."
