I hope your not referring to my quote 'his development' because mine is the correct usage...he's refers to he is...like he's coming over later today. His implies something directly as in his development

No I'm on about your OP. As in "His Brazillian" I'm not interested in the state of Lucas Moura's bush.
 
We're already up against the home-grown player limits, and a lot of people are talking about selling Lennon, Dawson, etc. Without lobbying to have the foreign player quotas scrapped altogether, I'm not sure how people are crafting these absurd transfer scenarios.

No thank you. We've got to figure out how to make what we've got work. Priority for me is a new coach and a new LB, not more attacking players.
 
No chance considering how much PSG paid for him, his wages, PSG probably going to the semis of the CL tonight and bigger clubs than us would want him

i've not really followed his development since he left sao paulo but if he's a flop in the french league, he's gonna struggle big time here

He's not a flop , he's just up against superb players there. And the leaders of the weaker French League have not really struggled against the team that is challenging for the title and has the "best manager ever" did they

Can't see us selling ether as they are both good squad players..I think we should sell siggi at the very least and perhaps two or three others..pretty sure if we were to get Lucas (which is very unlikely) the men upstairs would have realised this issue and fixed it..
We have plenty of players that fit the home grown status as it stands..Lennon, Dawson, bentaleb, Carroll, Livermore, Kane, rose, fryers, archer..off the top of my head.. There's prob more, plus you only need 8..

Bentaleb, Carroll, and Kane probably need a prem loan next season. Rose, Fryers, Archer, Naughton either aren't ready or don't look good enough.

I don't see our first team changing substantially, and we are up against a wall. Siggy counts as home-grown, so selling him would put us even closer.

I don't see them leaving, but that leaves us just Dawson, Lennon, and Townsend playing a squad role, so pretty much in order to stay within the quota we've got to keep players that either aren't good enough or who aren't going to get enough game-time with us next season in order to develop.

Which is a problem.

Issue with this new quota is you ether have to put development players in your 25 or buy expensive home grown 1st teamers...I mean I like Lallana but I hate to think how much we'd have to pay for him..
Not that getting Lucas solves any of these issues though
 
This guy is pinnacle of Brazilian wonderkid hype. Maybe he doesnt play for PSG because Cavani had to be pushed out to the right but when he does play he does not light up that league...not in the slightest. Everytime I watch a PSG match and he comes on he seems to disappoint. An upgrade on a lennon/townsend hybrid...but barely...

Not worth anything over 12.

We should not loan Kane, maybe Bentaleb but purely because of how much competition there is. It can't only be me that thinks Kane is ready? He's put in great performances against Villa, Benfica, Monaco, Hull and now Sunderland. Whenever he's played he's impressed, and not just because he's young but because he's been really good.

I don't know, I'm afraid you're getting ahead of yourself.

I only caught the last 15 minutes or so of last night's game, but while he had a great game last night, my opinion of his previous appearances is that he's been mostly anonymous.

We all needed a result like that against Sunderland to pick our heads up a bit, but let's not kid ourselves that Sunderland are an absolutely terrible side that are bottom of the premier league. Their defending was absolutely woeful last night, so I'm not ready to believe that Kane is ready for the first team at Spurs off of the back of that performance. A lot of his previous loans haven't worked out, but I honestly think that him, Carroll, and Bentaleb need season loans with sides that are fighting relegation, and where they will get regular starts.
