I was trying to suggest that most South Americans go to Spain/Portugal partly because of the language. Imagine a young kid leaving home and moving to England. It would be very isolating. Tevez and Aguero are senior players but you'll notice they speak Spanish all the time.Mancio said:Marvin said:Never seen him play. Would be unusual for an English club to buy a young player direct from South America and then plunge him straight into their team. Language would be an issue.
Yeah let we sign Stuart downing instead. No language issues there ...

With the wages a player like Lucas will get he can move all his family and at least a doozen of friends
That would help, but all the same there's a big tradition of South Americans going to Spain/Portugal. And language and culture is part of it. Footballers are people not robots and it helps if you're happy and comfortable in every respectMancio said:Marvin said:I was trying to suggest that most South Americans go to Spain/Portugal partly because of the language.

They will have to sell someone big to buy him though! Them twats are fucked at the minute and will be spending £30-35m on no fucker! We should rub their noses in it and sign him because he IS going to be a huge star!!Young said:They signed an Asian to replace an Asian.
They are now signing a South American to replace another.

Sorry but this is a ridiculous claim to make.

Thats why I said in my opinion mate. He has everything looking back that ronaldo had and if we could manage to get him here and playing with much better players and if he listened to bobby he would be sensational! Another player who looks quicker running with the ball than without which shows the potential he has!Ntini77 said:richards30 said:This lad is dynamite already!

If he is that good then City should be interested in him after missing on Hazard.
