Viera can play one or two more years if he retires from international play. He’s always injured on international duty or directly thereafter.

Its that idiot Domenech who keeps calling him up when he has 10 other class players in that position. Try giving Flamini, Diarra, or Toulalan a chance and let Viera finish his club career on a high note.

When he plays, he plays his heart out. Unfortunately, his body is disintegrating around him. I feel for him, but I think his time is over. Time to gracefully retire.

Toldo has been injured – he sprained his ankle last week. He didn’t train this week, but went with Rivas and Moratti to show the film about Inter training campuses to the EU in Brussels.

I think Dacourt is gone. Most likely Crespo. Obinna will go out on loan…

Two things:

-Where has Toldo been on the callup list recently?

-Mourniho’s quotes about too big a squad have come back… given that we now know something about his preference for players (ie many said Burdisso would be one to go, but it’s clear Mourinho appreciates his versatility) who do people now envision leaving?

Jimenez wasn’t called up this week…

The thing about Silva (I hesitate to call it an article) was cagey about when he would actually arrive – if he signs that is. I did sort of suggest that June was more likely.

I still wonder about Adriano. He is certainly worth more now as a possibly viable player than he would be at the end of the year if things go poorly for him on the personal front.

I tell you, he just needs the right romantic partner to whip him into shape. I really dont care whether it is a man or a woman or both – just someone to stabilize him and bring him back to the player he used to be.

Moratti, as I think we are already aware, has come out and said that there will be no new players in January.

Considering that he probably paid more than he wanted to in the summer, the team is doing well domestically and first in the group/pre-qualified for the next round; I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t see a need for reinforcements.

Frankly, I don’t either, really.

It is just that Mou was already complaining that we have too many central defenders. I find it unlikely that we would get one more without selling one we already have – Nico seemed the most likely.

There was a similar “hours away” story over the summer.

I guess it depends on just how many hours you are talking about.

Given the age and recent fragility of Samuel, Cordoba and Materazzi, I wouldn’t feel compelled to get rid of either Burdisso or Rivas should Silva arrive. Though he has been back to his worst for most of the season, there was a period last season when Burdisso was consistently effective, and I thought that Rivas showed quite a bit of promise in the few matches he played around his injuries. The question is whether he is physically capable of playing at the highest level.

So now Calciomercato is saying that Thiago Silva’s agent (Paulo Tonietto) is hours way from officially signing the paperwork that will bring him to Inter.

Do we believe it? And if so, then what? For sure then we would loose Burdisso. Marco will probably retire soon – I think he is under contract until 2011. Rivas… Well, I just dont know how I feel about him. Anyone have any compelling arguments for or against him?
