In other A-League news, speculation that Wellington Phoenix will make a bid for former Brazilian international Juninho Paulista is likely to move into overdrive after the 34-year-old former Middlesbrough midfielder was sacked by Flamengo yesterday. Wellington have also been linked to two former Central Coast Mariners players, Noel Spencer and Wayne O'Sullivan, as they build a squad for their debut season. But Spencer, who is on a short-term contract at Sydney FC, is also weighing up an offer from Newcastle

If by some chance Juninho does join the Phoenix..We will be
unstoppable...heres to hoping.
Player mentioned in herald today sounds a juninho type playing
behind strikers, would mean two brazilian dead ball specialists!
Is our signings making any media in aussie take note? Looks a
solid start to a squad! Has chad gibson signed for anyone yet?
Would be great at the back, come on sherbet keep up the good
work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gibson ?
The fact that the Clogs converted midfielders to defenders rather than play him says to me that two different coaches didn't think he was good enough for the A-League.

Flamengo vice-president Kleber Leite confirmed that the ex-Middlesbrough playmaker`s contract will now be torn up.
After a 50-minute meeting in Rio with the Flamengo squad Leite, Franco and another official, Isaias Tinoco, announced: "He (Juninho) has committed a very serious act of indiscipline and his contract will be terminated.

(Juninho) has committed a very serious act of indiscipline and his
contract will be terminated. 
"We don't want to hurt anybody. We'll work to find a solution and see what the best way to implement this decision is."

Former Brazil midfielder Juninho has been sacked by Flamengo after
a bust-up with coach Ney Franco.Juninho argued with and insulted
Franco after refusing to be substituted at half-time during the
disappointing 3-0 quarter-final defeat at Uruguayan side Defensor
Sporting in the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday.

Flamengo vice-president Kleber Leite confirmed that the ex-Middlesbrough playmaker`s contract will now be torn up.
After a 50-minute meeting in Rio with the Flamengo squad Leite, Franco and another official, Isaias Tinoco, announced: "He (Juninho) has committed a very serious act of indiscipline and his contract will be terminated.
He
(Juninho) has committed a very serious act of indiscipline and his
contract will be terminated. "We don't want to hurt anybody. We'll work to find a solution and see what the best way to implement this decision is."

"I HEARD THE Wellington Phenoix SOUTH AMERICAN SIGNING IS GOING TO BE FORMER Middlesbrough PLAYER Juninho"
does anybody know if this is true? if so them BLOODY BRIL
RIKI!

Juninho is a very skilful player and creative, but my word of
caution is that he wasn't a particularly robust, and the A League
is a very physical league. The Aussies are generally big boys and
I'm not sure a precious lightweight Brazilian is quite what we
need.
I wouldnt mind a portuges player...enough with all this brazilian
talk. Get ovr it they won the World cup 4 years ago!!!
...and Portugal won ?
might be good for us him not being robust. he draws the fouls and
daniel takes the free kicks?? mind you juninho is not stupid at
free kicks! he's a pretty amazing player.....he creates space for
himself and makes quite unorthodox trianges around
players when he passes. it would be amazing if we could
sign him but its not very likely, maybe as a 4 week guest stint???
if he wants to retire here then all good but im sure he could do
better - i hope im proved wrong.

talk. Get ovr it they won the World cup 4 years ago!!!
Standard of living in Brazil is a lot lower than that in
Portugal, there's a lot less money in the game, and a lot less
opportunity to travel (a Portugese player can play anywhere in
Europe without a work permit) - thus Brazilian (and Argentine)
players will be available for lower salaries. With the salary
cap in place - that's vital.
Plus the futsal culture in Brazil ensures that all of their
players have the required skills. They'll be churning out
players of a superior quality to anything over here for years -
until someone sets up a proper futsal academy over here...
Phoenix will keep looking at Brazil, and should stop looking
at fading, jaded, superstars looking for one last payday.

well it looks like RH has laughed off reports of juninho being
signed.
As cultured as Che Bunce's left foot and as profilic as John Lammers
wish my wife would have a brazilian
Wait til Daniel hits town - there's a few wives will be having
a Brazilian 
. He's a
bit of a charmer!!

Christiano Ronaldo, EPL Player of the year, Young player of
the year. Soon to be World player of the year...thats if Kaka
doesnt carve up in Champs.
Unless I'm mistaken your reason for not signing Brazilians was
because they didn't win the last world cup. Nothing to do
with what one player had won...
