Of course AVB has always done well with Brazilian players but I think the reason why we may go Samba is the financial aspect. We have signed players with the objective of promoting the tottenham brand.
Now Brazil is one of the fastest growing economies in the world which we know but more surprising to a lot of people is the fact that Neymar earned more money in sponsors than any other player in the world. Santos were willing to let neymar to leave on a free rather than sell him as they would of made more money by keeping him than to receive a transfer fee. Which is why there are rumours of his transfer being one of the highest in history.
If we were to have a brazilian contingent that were looking set to be major players for the brazil national team in a world cup year in Brazil! I think we could get some money back in sponsorship potentially with the likes of Sandro(though he isn't a starter atm for brazil due to injury), Paulinho, Bernard and potentially the most important of all Leandro(he has the least competition for a guaranteed starting spot and good year would make him the brazilian no.9).
Of course we could do a piss poor job and get nothing back but it could take our small brand in to the eyes of a massive footballing nation
