That guy has a great name, and great hair..... :-)

Ya, he looks like he plays for HomelessFC. Jo is a good prospect and in Moscow of all places, Inter going for an influx of Brasilians?

The Brazilian striker is Wagner Love. And he is arguably the worst player on the Selecao, but that said, maybe he's a great club player. I have no idea.

I think Wagner Love is decent, not the quality of past Brazilian #9, but a pretty good player, however, does Inter really need more strikers, they already have a boatload...

I am a little surprised that Inter is going after all three. I would go after Jo. Wagner Love is okay but in the long run Jo looks to be the better player.

Daniel Carvalho has the most talent out of them all he is just like Diego an attack minded midfield player with a he ll of a rocket powered leg, i remember last year watching him play against Arsenal he scored a sweet freekick against us

Jo has the chance to almost get that Valderamma like hair just grow it for about another 5 years and dye it blonde

well this would upset the balance of argentina vs brazil in serie a with inter having so many argentines and milan haveing so many brazilians. (cambiasso, solari, julio cruz, javier zanetti, burdisso, walter samuel vs pato, ronaldo, kaka, cafu, dida, emerson, serginho, digao) but then again, we have to take into account all the brazilians at inter (maxwell, maicon, adriano, cesar, julio cesar). hmmmmm, get some homegrown italian players i say. the best clubs are being fully international, taking away from the homegrown aspect of football, as platini said.

Inter's got probably the best young star in Italian football playing for the Junior team. He's name is (Super) Mario Balotelli, he was born in Ghana in 1990 and adopted right after. This guy really is amazing, arguably better than Jo already (he just scored twice against Sheffield FC - in 50 minutes playing time - in the friendly match honoring the team's 150th founding). The same goes for Goran Slavkovski, who has been hampered by injuries lately but yet was targeted by Man U, which was willing to pay a 5 million pounds fee.
They also own the rights to Robert Acquafresca, main striker in the U21 national team, and Victor Obinna, Nigeria's international forward currently on loan to Chievo.
As you can see, Inter has plenty of young guns to go around. If they need to buy a young forward when Adriano bolts - possibly as soon as January - they'll go with a crack like Lyon's Benzema, Barcelona's Giovani or Atletico Madrid's Aguero...

Gio is not leaving Barca anytime soon and neither is Aguero, although Benzema may be available if the price is right.

I think they made a mistake selling Martins a year back.
if they really want a young striker why not go get Huntelaar or Podolski may even be available considering his current state at Bayern.

Some of those gizmo Argentinians would get really touchy that mais Brasileiros are at Inter.
