A report in this morning's Daily Mirror claims Scolari has been lined up as a potential replacement for Brazil coach Dunga, who is expected to be sacked in January following a disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign.

The paper quotes a source close to Brazilian FA president Ricardo Teixeira, who says: "Dunga is very unpopular, both among the fans and the Brazilian Federation. It looks like a matter of time before he goes and that means Teixeira has to make the right appointment.

"He will definitely ask Felipao first. It looks as if Felipao is not enjoying himself at Chelsea, and maybe he might want to listen to what Teixeira is saying."

Meanwhile, the Times this morning reports that Scolari's substitutions against West Ham on Sunday were openly questioned by his players, who are becoming increasingly frustrated by the methods used by their new coach.

Scolari would like to be able to recruit an attacking player in January to complement the reserves he has at his disposal. But with his requests for reinforcements turned down, Scolari knows he will have to find new solutions to the team's attacking difficulties.

I need to think about my squad only, not other players," he said. "I don't think they buy, I don't think they sell. I need to work harder and I need to find the solution for this situation."

Scolari missed out on signing Robinho during the summer, and recently he said: "Because I have many injuries, I say to the board that I maybe need one player. I think it's maximum one player they'll replace because we need one player more."

However, that was prior to the return of Didier Drogba, who now looks certain to stay during the forthcoming transfer window, while Michael Essien is making encouraging progress from his knee injury.

True, but with LFS recently "joking" that he'd return to Brazil does it not surprise you that this story appeared?

[diskoviolente 425]

He said he would like to return to Brazil, I don't recall him saying he wants to do so for definite, and right at this moment. Media sensationalism. Again.
