Thanks bro

Uwc

Good game

Something is wrong with the entire backline. Smalling have been lacklustre as usual. I am still not convince with Lindelof, I hope he shows his quality soon. Valencia and Blind... hmmm... both have been disappointing.

Valencia is a mad man!!!!


Blind is just clueless going forward

You get time!

It is laughable bro!

Someone that cannot recognise the business benefit of taking a Rooney in the twilight of his career off the club's books.

Hehe. Figures mate, figures! Given that statistically, a whole league sells about 5m to 6m shirts per season, how can you justify that? The clubs with the highest selling number of shirts are probably Barcelona, Bayern, United, Madrid and Chelsea. I bet no one of them sells more than 2m shirts per season. Given that most of these shirts sell between £35 and £80 and at an average £50 per shirts, the highest earners make an estimated £100m per season from combined team shirt sales. This is Real Madrid level sales.

Even if Neymar makes up for a whopping 70% shirt sales in a 1.5m (grossly overstated sales number) for PSG; at £50 per shirt, he would make no more that £75m per season. The catch though is that about 70-80% of those sales go to Adidas/Nike, leaving PSG with a paltry £15m/year from Neymar's estimated shirt sales.

Look at the figures mate! Double the figures if you like, triple the sales if you want, how can Neymar ever pay back €222m transfer fee over, let alone the reported £200m salary over 5 years? Neymar will need to be pusing PSG shirt sales to about 5m shirts a year to stand any chance of ever repaying his transfer fee. To put things in perspective, the whole of the Premier league sells no more than 5m shirts.

How do you make such declaration with a straight face?

Finally... someone willing to talk figures!!

In respect of shirt sales... the likes of United, Barca and Madrid have been hitting approx 2M or more in the past three seasons. PSG sold around 650K. Neymar was no 11 on the list of players with the highest number of shirt sales. It will not be wrong to project that Bevan push PSG shirt sales to around 1M per season. Football jerseys of top clubs are sold for 80 to 90 quids. If we assume that Neymar would sell about half a million that is about 40M. You are correct that the kit makers get around 70% of shirt sales revenue, 30% of 40M will account for 12M per year on jersey sales alone.

Neymar's market pull and fame in South America and Asia should conveniently provide an increment of close to 20M per season if Man United without a player as marketable as Neymar is able to pull about around 130M per year.

Lastly, if you consider that top clubs such as Madrid and United usually get about 30 to 40% of total value of their players individual endorsement, we should be looking at another 20M or more.

In total that will be approximately 50M per year based on his presence without taking into consideration on-field related earnings.

Some peeps are wondering how can Mbappe be £160 well if Morata £70 n Lukaku £90 (£110 if u add rooney). For an 18year old champion with 26goals, dey ain't so crazy (as d market) after all.

Every new player is a risk, no matter how consistent der past might be.... (neymar for €222 is also a risk)

All of currencies re in million.

If you don't understand the Rooney deal take several seats and don't act a foool.

Rooney had 2 years left on a 300K a week contract which translates to about 15M per year. For two years that is about 30M on wages alone excluding bonuses. United paid Rooney 10M to get him off the club's books.

So how on earth did you get the extra 20M on the Lukaku deal?? Sometimes the level of ignorance and understanding on display here is appalling. If you want to troll, troll with class.

Again.. Concerning Neymar you also do not understand the business of football. There is little or no risk in the Neymar signing from a financial perspective. Dude is a money making machine, he is extremely marketable especially in Latin America and Asia.

Mbappe for anything more than 50M pounds is a poor investment. Scoring 26 league goals playing in the French league is not a major achievement. Although he is extremely talented with huge potential. I think he needs to replicate the same performance and stats for at least one more season.

CapitalCee:
Hmm this game I watched Pogba was quite solid

Next time calm down and check the time my post was made...

Pogba was piss poor within the first 25 mins

Nice build up play... sweet goal from Mhki!

All dem Lingard haters... I hope you guys are watching

1-1

Pogba is stinking up the joint... misplacing passes and looking out of place.

Fosu-Mensah is having a good game.

Tvegas:
I respect your arguement and i dont think clubs who have superstars will sell them to us easily. But my point is we have been spending and are still spending outrageous amounts on above average players. Instead of going that route without achieving anything why dont we allow our young lads to grow?. For example i pray Lukaku comes good, but spending £75 mil plus £15 mil in add-ons is wasteful. I will support him as every true fan should do but common..... these are outrageous sums same for Pogba's transfer.

I insist many of our players are average at best,whether they will improve or not is left for us to see this season. The scouting department need to up their game as well. There are lots of good deals out there things shouldn't be that difficult.

This is my problem with most United fans, you complain that the squad is filled with average players. The board and management try to get quality players, you scream that we are paying too much. How many of those guys that can be gotten at a seemingly cheap/for good deals can walk into the team and be a starter?

It is difficult for top English clubs to make very good deals because of the knowledge that English teams are making excellent money from the new television deal that was signed of recent.

CapitalCee:
Rashford was superb, but that first team had the chemistry the second team didn't. Lingard, Herrera,Mata and Carrick were behind him, they have played together, the other team has Pereira and tuanzebe in midfield and Lukaku is new. So everyone tried.

Bros did you watch the match at all?

Tuanzebe played as part of the back 3 (LCB) and not in midfield.

Olabode89 what's good fam?

I hear you're not a fan of jambody strikers Innit?

I believe in the manager, plus I am super excited about UFC 213 coming up on Saturday and UFC 214 in 3 weeks time. Therefore, zero worries.

donjazet:
Abeg you get the cheat for the game, I hear say e get cheat wey go give you surplus cash to spend for the your team and so on. You know am?

You are killing the fun bro!

Back in the days, I start with teams in 2nd tier league and build my profile. Sometimes I spend 2 years in a lower division, gain promotion and win the UCL in 4 game years �. Later them Barca, Madrid and Man United go dey offer me contract.

funlord:
No........its football manager the most addictive and superb game on pc ever! Even real managers like harry redknapp play it and scout players with it! When we were dependent students or broke and unemployed rudeboys after graduation it was the best friend you could have! It can make you leave your chick, abandon your homies, stop eating, smoke like Bob Marley, and most importantly give you a knowledge about the game that you never knew was inside of you! The queen has even given an OBE to the guy who created it! Beware of the powers of FM!

Hmmm... football manager ! Especially the FM series released by SEGA and Sport Interactive. It is truly the most addictive and mind capturing game ever. The sad part is the withdrawal effect it has on other activities, FM messed up the CGPA of a lot of guys at OAU when I played it a lot between 2006 and 2009.

Diademk07:
It's rumoured that Matic will have his medical in few hours.

It is hilarious that we will be paying 40M for a player that Chelsea wants to get rid of, I hope it remains a rumour.

Diademk07:
His first time crosses are rubbish though. I hope Fabinho would be signed for the RB position.

The CDM position is still paramount. If not Van de Beek, then Oriol Romeu however, we wouldn't need Herrera as a 8 but a playmaker in his position.

A 3-man midfield of Romeu, Pogba, and Herrera while the likes of Harrop and Perreira compete for Herrera's position won't be a bad idea.

Harrop signed for Preston North end today.

okewumi:
Bros, you are right. I graduated from OAU and the only problem is no short cut to anything. You can not buy handout to boast your GP, you cannot ask a friend to write test for you. The only thing is that OAU is not meant for average students like me but for genius. I got job automatically after service year because of the school image and l was sent for training in Europe. Education in OAU is very tough

Sir Neyo Pumping!!

Brightwood:
Have you seen their body weights?
I don't watch boxing or MMA INFACT I CAN Say for a fact I haven't watched any fight events this decade but even a greenhorn like me would bet my life on Mayweather 9 times over.

Do you think Mayweather is bigger or heavier ??

Conor fights at either 145lbs or 155lbs in the UFC but his out of competition weight is around 170lbs.

Floyd fights at between 145lbs to 160lbs.

I have been following MMA since the days of Pride and Strike force... over a decade ago and only a greenhorn will get his life on the outcome of a combat sport. There have instances where a wild swing have knocked out a fighter.

If Conor can cut the ring effectively he will surely get his hands on Money, but he cannot utilize his kicks to gauge range and control his opponent. Like I said before my money is on Conor KO inside the first 4 rounds hedged by a Floyd decision victory.

Olabode89, look at Conor McGregor Sparring...this was only last year o.

He's in Blue.

Man looks like he's wading through treacle. Can't keep his guard up, Can't react quickly enough for the counter. Flailing around with windmills.

mayweather will light up the clown like a cohiba.

Bro... a super high guard is not usually used in MMA because of the size of them gloves, guys have been knocked out with roundhouse kicks on high guard.

I am aware of the importance of experience in boxing, but Conor carries a KO threat and he fights very smart, his 13 seconds KO of Jose Aldo is a typical example.

jonsnow92:
If McGregor goes through to the 8th or 9th round just know its a fix..Or as Nihilist said its codedly in d contract..Been a Pro in boxing isn't done in 6months..I won't be shocked when the pressure gets to him in the ring if he mistakenly lifts his leg in defence on Aug 26..Bet on Conor at your peril

McGregor is not your typical MMA guy with a wrestling or other traditional mixed martial arts base. His base is kickboxing, we all know that he has zero professional experience but he's got hands of steel with the technique and angles to send Mayweather to the canvas. The million dollar question is can he hit Mayweather with his vicious cross left ??

Nihilist:
Mayweather easily. Very easily sef. This ain't Tekken.

Boxing is not the same as Gidigbo.

Hmmm... Underrate the Nutorious at your own peril Bro!

We all know that Floyd defence is out of this world but Conor has got some nasty hands, if he touches Floyd... the old lady will sing.

My money will be on Conor..... KO/TKO win hedged by a Floyd decision win. Both guys and Dana should each be taking more than $50 million.... red panty night...lol

Lol!

It was expected.. he won't be available till January.

sinizia:
So all my dream and wish for Aubameyang has been in vain? Which kain thing be this? I don't know what Mourinho sees in that soft kid without the physicality to thrive in EPL. Well, Mourinho knows best so I wish him outstanding success for us if the rumors are true.

Are you referring to Morata??

FYI he is stronger than Auba and has got better hold up play. Morata is a hybrid striker... good physique, fast feet and clinical finishing.

I hope we don't pay more than 60M pounds.

afrodoc2:
We should just buy Harry Kane with this Griezmann money.

Spurs will sell for 75M pounds

Una watch U.F.C 211? Which spinach dem give that Stipe Miocic guy? The guy made such slight work of Junior Dos Santos I'm wondering who in that heavyweight division fit stop am

Bros the thing tire me o! I stayed up all night till like 6am to watch a slug fest and JDS made the worst move he could do against Stipe... backing towards the cage. At the moment none of the top guys possess a good chin to eat and return bombs towards Stipe's chin. Maybe either of Derrick "Black beast" Lewis or Francis Ngannou in a year time can take on Stipe. Cain Valesques if healthy can test Stipe, but is he ever 100% healthy?

What do you think about JJ's performance? She's the best striker in the UFC irrespective of gender.

Damian Maia is finally going to get his title shot! I fear he might be knocked out by "Mr. Every white man is racist".

I felt bad for Yair Rodriguez... Frankie gave him a merciless beat down, he needs to improve his wrestling and take down defence.

Why in God's name are we defending so deep again!!

Mhen! Bleep Mourinho and his hyper defensive tactics.

pamcode:
Funlord2, Ibime what exactly did Bogarde do wrong pls? I have googled him and can't seem to Find a wrong doing.

Lol... Chelsea negotiated foolishly and gave the dude a mouth watering contract that was worth around 12 million pounds for 5 years (in 2000). The dude was astonished that he got such a super cool contract and he signed it. Down the road, the club and everyone noticed that he was below par and they wanted him out of the club. He was demoted to the reserve and youth team to force him out. Bros refused to bow to the pressure or embarrassment because he knew there was no way he could get half of what he was earning elsewhere.

He played 9 league games for Chelsea in 5 years with zero appearance in the last 3 seasons. He said he didn't care if he goes down as one of the worst transfers in the history of the premier league

Rooney with a needless foul... smh useless mofo
