There's every reason to be skeptical of a player whose past doesn't inspire you with confidence. Infact, I think it's quite natural. Many of these players don't turn out to be great players like Smeltz so my reservations are certainly founded. That's not to say if we did sign him that I would be anti-Viera for the duration of his contract. And I wouldn't hope he failed so I could have told you so, but there are plenty of quality South Americans out there, and going by what I've seen, read, and heard I'd like a better one - I can only go by those things and they are very limited but too bad. If we sign him, though, and he does well I'll be more than happy to congratulate him. Also, this instinct has been fairly good in the past, I was skeptical about Mart Poom*, and whammy, 100% correct.
*Not the best example as you can be skeptical on almost every Arsenal goalie but you get my point.
