Maybe merchandising was the wrong word but the amount of people who will start supporting them because of him will be huge, the money they generate by having his name attached to the club will be crazy. Like I said, share price went up so much that the clubs value went up by more than they paid for him, it went up a crazy amount and has dropped a little since but is still increased hugely.

EDIT: I said before that the league are kicking themselves that they just sold the broadcasting rights for the next 3 years before they signed him, they could have asked for a good bit more if it was after he signed. Not just Juve but Serie A as a whole will benefit.

It couldn't be shirt sales. The clubs get paid a nice lump if money by their kit manufacturer these days and then a % of sales after that. No chance of recouping very much from shirt sales.

At the moment as far as I'm aware United get paid 75 odd million a year for shirt sales and 15-20 odd percent after that. That's before the shirt sponsors getting involved in providing funding for signings. I don't understand why the money teams get paid for selling shirts every year isn't included in these internet arguments about how much teams get for selling shirts.

The Ronaldo signing will increase what Juve can demand from Adidas or whoever they move to next and also increase the amount they receive directly from the percentage of sales. It's not inconceivable that could come close to the amount they paid for him.

Its £750m for Adidas to be the kit maker (sponsorship), not for kit sales for the ten years.

Where are you getting 15-20% of shirt sales? And i doubt any manufacturer would give 15-20% of sales to the club, it's more likely to be a % of profit per sale.

Lucas Digne unveiled as an Everton player.

The shirt sales myth. It's completely overstated.

People who were going to buy the kit anyway may just get the new signings name on the back.

A big reason Juve signed Ronaldo is to up their profile as consistent as they have been the last few years they are still a way off the likes of a Real or Barca. They have their series on Netflix for a reason & shirt sales play a part in it too. They want to create fans who will hopefully spend money on their brand in any capacity.

That's more what I originally meant so merchandising was the wrong word to use.

From the link :pac:

Asked about a possible move spokesman Paddy Power said: “Chris Smalling has fallen out of Jose Mourinho’s first team plans. Or, as Louis Van Gaal would put it, Mike dropped.

“Wolves are making waves this summer in the transfer market, and look a great bet for a top half finish already.”

PP creating a shortening market for themselves and then Smalling joins Blackpool :pac:

Could be something probably nothing (Barca and Pogba for those using the legacy skin)

I'm always struck by the way and the frequency the Italian clubs sell good players to one another without any real drama (as a rule)

My inner cynic says it's a fairly deliberate, mutually agreed tactic amongst Italian clubs to stoke interest from the fans. Fans love new signings, even if they won't improve the team as is often the case, and it adds to the intrigue of club rivalries. Maybe English clubs should do it more.

It's a bit silly but pretty harmless all the same. I think some get too riled up about things like this. It's just a silly play on the word 'Villa' in the end.

Commercial partnerships. Expect to see CR flogging Ferrari's and Fiat's soon.

Betis are after buying Sidnei from Deportivo. A good squad player, bartra and Feddal will be the two starting centre-backs.

Subcomandante Marcos

Higuain landed in Milan and confirmed he has a medical tomorrow. "first I'll sign and then I'll talk".
Great signing for a club who's too scorer in the league last year barely broke double figures.

Hopefully he's lost some of the obvious weight he was carrying in the WC.

The biggest surprise in the above tweets is a premier league club that wants Jordan Ayew. Especially one that had to play a midfielder in Loftus-Cheek up top last season.

I thought I saw it at 10m somewhere else.
Market is crazy but Grealish at 10m would be a good addition to them.Young,English player so Villa will squeeze as mush as possible out of the transfer.

Grealish should be 30m in todays market easy in my opinion, will be a great signing for whoever gets him.

James Maddison went for over £20m.

Championship -> Leicester.

Villa wanted £35m or something like that earlier in the window didn't they?

BullBlackNova

Grealish would be 30m+ I'd say. He's crucial to Villa's promotion hopes. If they sell him, they'll struggle to sign someone who has that much of an impact on their play in the week or so left in the window.

To justify that in the books, they'll need a pretty solid injection of cash.

Wouldn't rule out his sale but it would need to be very attractive to the owners really.
