Juninho as an attacking midfielder was a joy to watch.
For me anyway.

We've put in a bid. Maybe we're just waiting for it to be accepted/rejected?

Not to brag or be petty, I've seen a lot of Brazilian league, and you're probably mistaking 'defensive' with 'physical' or defending your country's league - nothing wrong with that.
You couldn't be more wrong about physical. It's basically like touch football over there. Touch a player, get a foul. More so if you're a star player. All I'm saying is, your point that no top strikers have come over to England is correct, but on the other there's a reason why that is! The proverbial 'they don't like it up em' - space is a completely different concept. Sometimes a Brazilian match can have you wondering if the pitch seems twice as big because of all the space available. I think midfielders can cope better than the strikers with this, they aren't manhandled on the regular.

Juninho was a class apart, brilliant player. Even had the pleasure to meet him a few times and have a drink with him once (he's almost a dwarf
)

I thought he was quite tall like me . . . . . I'm 5'6 and a half. Don't forget that half.

Anyone get the feeling, If he does join after almost 3 years of tracking this fella and 10 gazillion comments, he might just be crap in the EPL! lets be honest, we raved about arshavin, Rebrov, Pav and many others for them to turn out to be inconsistent in the EPL, personally i would be looking at a proven goalscorer in the EPL rather than taking a chance he will adapt to life in our league....there are some good young proven goalscorers in the Championship and EPL, which i feel may do a better job on a more consistent level!!

Sounds very plausible
I remember us tracking Andy Reid for about 4 or 5 transfer windows and look how that turned out
Which Championship forwards though would hit the ground running in the Premier league ?

I'm not Brazilian, which i know is a bit confusing, so not in defence of 'my league'. But there is a lot more physicality in the league than people give it credit for. Obviously not in every game, but some of the teams, especially those in the south are much more physical than people give them credit for IMO.
You only have to look at someone like Sandro to see a perfect example of how well someone from that league (and specific team in Inter) can quickly adapt to the physicality of the PL - in a position which requires him to be a lot more physical than a striker.

I don't think LD will be failure here in all honesty, simply because AVB has seen a player he knows he can work with and has the attributes that can fit with his formations.
In the past yes, maybe even under Harry, he might have failed, but then in the past we have had so many players with so much promise come in and yet the club as a whole has failed their development. It is not like this with AVB any more (well what I have seen in the short term), even 30+ players like Defoe have improved more in the last 6 months than they have over the last 6 years.
The only question is, will we get the fella, will Levy pay that extra 1 -2 million to make sure we get him, I am not sure, but I will be wanking like a crazed beast on a cocktail of speed and Viagra if we did, then if we get Mout's and Willian... Well...

Agree and Inter need to sell now apparently since they have no CL and the league in brazil doesnt really start for a while as they will be playing sunday league football(state championship)
So reasons they need to sell:
Inter didnt get much money from Oscar deal
Inter have a high wage bill apparently
Inter have no CL football this season
Since Inter have no CL their competitive season doesnt start for a couple of months(since they are playing state championship first)
He is unlikely to move after the summer as he cant risk not playing since he wants to be the starting Brazil team for WC14
Reasons why we wont sign:
They wants silly money
We dont like to pay silly money
