Yeah I guess it is whether the player can adjust to life in England it's such a change from Rio or Sao, let along Natal or Recife. My brief travels through Brazil I'd say Curitiba was most familiar as a Northerner.

However, it's still miles away from England, it had a more industrial feel and the weather was more clement.

Bruno and Joelinton have adjusted, should we bring in young Brazilian talent, you'd hope that the lads would help them settle in.
Curitiba - more akin to southern England. Londrina, nearby, was named after London. Not surprisingly I live in the region most like northern England, certainly weather wise. Up to a dozen hard frosts per winter not uncommon in the coldest part of the country; on the high plain of Santa Catarina.
