Eds,
With the Brazilian contingent we have here at Liverpool do you think it makes the club more willing to buy players from the Brazilian league? and vice versa these players more willing to join?
I'm talking more with concerns about how players settle in and adapt to a change in environment and culture etc, surely it must be a huge benefit to a new player joining the club if there are already a few players there who understand their cultures
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Yes it is a benefit.}

Firmino came to us in part, cos Couts and Lucas were already here so that camaraderie is always a good thing, . Bayern and Leverkusen back in the day, used to sign Brazilians in order to have a great contingent and help the new Brazilian players settle and it worked for them back in the day.
