Whatever happens with Rivaldo I think it's worth the gamble. Okocha and Djorkaeff have worked out very well and there was no guarantee of that.

Jardel didn't deliver but they were taking a gamble on a player who had been phonemenal in Portugal and had he got in shape might have been able to recapture that form.

Providing their not stretching themselves too far wage wise (which I'm sure they're not) in a worst case scenario he'll be shit and they just won't play him.

Personally I think he'll entertain the fans, produce some magic and give some performances worthy of his best years.
