yeah but what about the city and the utd and the cheslea who will pay it. thats the point. If you say go try poach the next raheem sterling (and we did lets be fair pay qpr for him) can we do this again? Your point is excellent. Nobody should be looking for the cash now they should be looking for the best football education and chance but often... well if you are looking at two clubs and one offers you a lot more money there is a natural inclination to say this club wants me more.. I hope it works but i can see many times we will just end up breaking this rule and it will be for the cameron brannigans and jon flanagans of this world not the ibe, ince, sterlings... and the reality is we've made quite a bit of money seeing young talent, buying them in and selling them on. LFC need to back the policy with the very best footballing education. Our academy is **** compared to chelseas and citys, spurs seems better as does utds, but those elites like city and utd and cheslea never seen to give a home grown kid a chance at all. the issue we have is we are making this rule in isolation in a competitive market place. it will take us 5/6 years to see if it works at least.
no... in short they like to act the big boys and make out they offered 200mil for neymar so the price starts now at 70mil. utd paid 100 mil euros ofr pogba so... coutinho has to command the same. simple as. he's signed til 2020 so we have the power.
He signed a new contract stupidly at cologne and now has his agent out rattling the cages. Every time i see such a link i know its a pure agent play using the usual italian suspects Hector has missed his chance at a move. i'm not going to bother with any other links to this guy anyway he aint worth the time.
What you're saying makes perfect sense, but since when did that matter to a 17 year old with delusions of grandeur and the glint of big money in his eyes?
It makes me laugh when a club is offering one of their players plus cash. PSG is offering Lucas Moura as part of the deal. If that good why do they want him out???.
See Chelsea are set to sign a huge kit deal with Nike and Madrid are in talks of a £100m year deal with Nike and adidas.
good for them? When our deal with NB runs out (pathetic deal really) we need nike or adidas. I know it sounded a lot at the time but it was actually within 6months already at best middling at best unfortunatley there must be 3 years min left on it so we get shag all compared to rivals til then.... AS USUAL.
It depends on detail as well though. Chelsea brought out of their adidas deal early and paid £30m because they were getting **** return on all shirts sold. We might be getting a really high % of that which could offset some of the initial loss in one off yearly payment.
If the Chelsea deal is like the Man Utd one, they'll lose half their sponsorship money when they fail to get CL anyway
Shirt deals aren't that simple. I read a piece by David Conn (I think), about how these deals are structured. Basically you sign away all profits on the first x Million (x being a number) of shirts sold each year. Then if you sell over that number in a year you start to get a small percentage of the shirt profits. So if Chelsea get 60M a year, then they probably don't get any profit on the first 3, 5, 10 Million shirts they sell each year. I haven't a clue at the number of shirt, but reason dictates that the more money you get upfront, the less your going to get from shirt sales. So all that guff you hear about player x selling a Million extra shirts doesn't mean the club are going to get any of the money.
Well chelsea paid to get out of current deal early because they weren't getting enough % of shirt sales so imagine they are getting more but yeah, generally a lot more into it than club getting all the money from shirts.
Who knows. In the end I feel as though we have to earn the deals too. I just think warrior and NB are opportunistic sponsors just as we are a club chasing big time. in gorss revenue sure... thats the top line. o nthe bottom line.. no chuffing way. same as ibrahimovic. its all boasting.
