I completely get how shirt sales influence transfers, I was just picking apart the idea that he has already paid for himself through shirt sales.
The big transfers don't come anywhere close to paying for themselves in shirt sales, I remember that rumour being rubbished after the Torres transfer. Also bear in mind that a large number of the Falcao shirts would have been sold anyway, just with a different name on
You picked the wrong player and club here. Torres was not a big name (in world terms) and Chelsea do not yet have the world wide fan base to finance such things. Yes, every player sells shirts at the club shop but certain players sell shirts all around the world in great quantities.
Wasn't Torres the highest selling shirt,for in the top 3 at least last season? Pretty sure I read an article to that extent.
On a quick google search it has Torres top for Chelsea, top five in the league. That's for 12/13, couldn't see 13/14.
Falcaos dad says falcao turned down the other club bar madrid. Madrid who just ****ed about all summer making all the wrong moves (kroos aside).
Rvp tops shiry sales. http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/...selling-shirt-in-barclays-premier-league.html
As yoonited have more hangers on globally than any other English club why does that not surprise anybody, what is surprising is that yoonited fans in Outer *****lia, Nepal, Zanzibar etc chose a player that was out for most of the season injured. But plastics don't do logic.
Congrats United, you're well on your way to your first victory of the season now against newly promoted QPR at home, it only took 6 new players, and 150 million of spent money on top of wages to get there. Congrats.
QPR are absolutely terrible. I'm not a betting person but putting money on them going down looks like a formality. They've barely put more than two successive passes together.
Poor man's Sanchez, Sanchez would physically pumble that skinny weakling. I'd like to see how Di Maria copes on a cold rainy night in Stoke.
