It will probably end up jungle drum talk but i seem to remember it being talked about around that meet and greet he, poch and Hugo did earlier this season

I’d take Lemina and Wilson in a heart beat.
See we’re linked with De Ligt.. that’d be a brilliant signing.
What I would like for this summer is Poch using some of that charm of his (and Daniels cash) to lure the best offensive talent still so young they are playing in Argentina/Uruguay/Paraguay/Chile (or even Brazil) to us (two or three please).
I´m not into racial profiling, but by god there has come some football-talent out of that region the last decade or two.

Alexander Isak is rumored to be leaving Dortmund next summer.
Cheeky bid for the "next Zlatan"?

Between Brexit and England's Home Office I don't see how Spurs would be able to get a work permit for them. That's why English clubs can't do that kind of talent shopping that Portuguese and Dutch clubs have been doing in that demographic.
Isak and Weigl would be a good bit of shopping amid the wreckage of their cock-up.
Weigl is definitely someone we should have our eyes on
Forgive my ignorance - but how did City get a work permit for Jesus then - he came from Palmeiras I think
It also took a fuck load of time. Jesus spent like 6+ months back in Brazil on loan before he could actually join City.
Signing players directly from South America is doable (we got Foyth last summer). But it can take a hell a lot of time due to administrative and bureaucratic processes
Sorry - did some googling and found this:
how do foreign footballers get UK work permits?
seems it helps to pay a lot :-(

Unless you think Chelsea is going to catch Liverpool it doesn't matter. Fourth is good enough. We should go for 2nd because 2nd is better than 3rd but for UCL qualification 2nd 3rd and 4th are all the same. England had five UCL teams this year because United won Europa. If the league table holds CIty, United and Spurs would qualify based on domestic position alone and Liverpool and Woolwich would take the spots reserved for the defending champs in the UCL group draw. We can have 5 just not six.
Yup. So, unless we can get into a situation like Foyth's, we're stuck going the Heung-Min Son/Davinson Sanchez route.
I honestly don’t know that I’m upset with that prospect. England has players that can be developed into top talent, and Spurs have a proven track record of doing so. I’d hate to become yet another club filling their academy ranks out with a ton of foreign hopefuls taking chances from the next Masons, Townsends, Winkses, KWPs, and Kanes. If we fill out the fringe places with young foreign talent then there’s no where for our own academy standouts to fit in.
Keeping our key players will be more important than any signing. If that happens, signing a couple of Foyth profile players for the future will suffice.
