    Even at £5-10m thats a considerable amount within the first few weeks of the season. Of course the sale will settle down but over 5 years, the shirt sale will be a significant amount esp if United do well. I suspect United will get a greater % of the shirts profit as an incentive to bring in high profile players. Also if the shirts are selling is such huge numbers and Adidas are making such a packet, the next shirt deal will be mega-massive.

    A win-win situation for United.

    Aye, but it's not going to change much after that. £190m is the best part of 3-4 million shirts, so it's safe to assume 90% of people who would buy a Pogba shirt this season will have now done so, and those who wouldn't will have bought a Zlatan one.

    Shirt sales usually massively peak in the first week or two after a big signing, then will fade away to close to nothing for the rest of the season, and rarely regain those heights for the rest of the player's tenure at the club as well.

    You do realise that people who don't have Sky can still read the Sky Twitter feed, right?

    No worries mate <ok>

    If there's anything about Utd or big headline moves then put them up, but we don't need a link to every single transfer mentioned on Twitter or SSN.

    Just tell us the important ones, like how much of Balotelli's wages will Liverpool still be paying on his latest loan expedition...

    I read earlier that we told Spurs that Morgan Schneiderlin was not for sale after they enquired about him.

    What a daft rumour.

    Spurs don't sign proven players for big fees, their world class scouts only ever unearth diamonds in the rough for less than £5 million.

    Heresy <ok>

    Agreed, I think he deserves another chance.
