LVG flying to Manchester on Wednesday.

Neways, Red side of London said Wenger > LVG. #LVGOut

Eh? Mid-table club getting 70mil annually? Not bad lor, how much are Puma/Adidas/Nike paying the other 'top-table' clubs ah? Less than 40mil annually?

Not bad, this mid-table club is still more valuable than those table-topping ones. Shame :/

I highly assume Adidas will have the rights to distribute merch like Nike does, kits/training wear/shirts/pants/hats/scarfs etc. As for Uniqlo, I highly doubt it. Maybe worst come to worst, just a leisure wear shirts like the ones sold by the MUFC Megastore merch.

Yup. Either way, good money for the club

But as a consumer, I will only buy the brand that sponsors the club's kit, like Nike/Adidas accessories. I don't even buy the MUFC branded products

Yup, and read somewhere that LVG asked Kroos where he wants to play next season and he chose RM that is why he didnt pursue him otherwise macam Moyes with Fabregas, bidding for a player who doesn't want to join the club lel

Halaaaaaa Adidasssss~!

Hahahahaa le London side jelly liao. mid-table club la konon. inb4 Adidas blind / understanding the power of branding / Puma better etc etc

Hehe only Nike-ManUtd products i beli


Yup agreed. Must thank SAF for placing us where we are now (status)

Woah wise words for sino.

Your soap supplies already stocked up for future use. Tweed to stock up more Vaseline liao, in case of sakit bontot

Chung so early today eh?

Still nothing on the article that stated that Adidas will claim 100% of the profits made by merch sales and none given to the club yes? Nike has the exclusive rights to dual-branded product merch as well, and it was a profit sharing deal so as usual United are the most marketable club hence more more money for the club but Nike still made profits regardless.

=============================================================================================

Doesn't matter how the profits are distributed because IF, a big IF that the profits from merch sales are not shared, United will still earn MORE REVENUE MONEY than Arsenal could ever dreamed of. Why? We have BIG MONEY from Chevy and AON, something that Arsenal CANNOT compete on. On an annual basis, United still earns more money than Arsenal WITH or WITHOUT European Football.

So if AST thinks that Puma's deal with Arsenal is better than United's deal with Adidas, then let them be. As ignorant as you all can be, Arsenal will NEVER surpass United in terms of commercial value, and that is the fact. Mid-table club? Yeah so what? We have more money than Arsenal earns, call it arrogance, but this is the fact. Go ahead and gloat about last season's results and that we finished 7th and no UCL, but the brand power and commercial value of MUFC is MILES ahead of Arsenal's.

I know, was referring to others actually

Haha the second part of my statement wasn't intended for you.

Actually I found a few Adidas-Chelsea merch, bottles/caps/t-shirts in a few sporting shops around the Klang Valley. Every company wants to make profits right? Investment MUST always consider a good return hence ROI. For Adidas-United deal, it's a win-win situation for both. Adidas knows that United is the most marketable club in the world with the widest fan base which is why they are willing to fork out so much because they know it will have a good return.

Adidas are just paying the value that it deserves. They understand the value of the brand. It's Nike's loss really. People will usually associate Nike with United because of the strong brand salience, like Adidas and Real Madrid. Nike should build on the brand salience because it will be good for their brand but they cannot meet United's demand due to the brand size, they decided to stick to 'fewer' clubs.

As for the 1billion part, lol. The club still need to pay off the debts, and other payments like wages, maintenance etc. But it does inject more money into our transfer funds but not 100% of it lol. One thing about United is that we use our EARNED money generated from revenues, profits and gate tickets. This is pretty admirable. There are always 'deluded' fans around, let them talk. Like the ones from red side of London

Oh terasa liao?

Sorry what is said here remains here. This thread is ours, we can say what we like. Don't like? Go back and cry to your little club.

Anyway, there's a saying, Lu x suka Lu keluar. So...

Well, if my memory serves me right, it was your member who started with that line. So how does it feel to be used against you now? Pot calling a kettle black. Typical, can use it on others but cannot receive it in return. Why not look back the behavior of your AST before being sarcastic in a thread where you don't belong?

Like a child who doesn't get what he wants and report to mommy, sad and pathetic.

Balik rumah whine to otai2 AST liao hahaha

Officially not yet. Usually away and third kit will be announced later.

If Evra is used in the transaction for Vidal, means Shaw will get #3 la? Liddat I sure buy liao.

Wei wei don't jinx.

Now a lot of rumors flying around, cannot put too high hopes. But we still need one more CM to cover unker Carrick and one more CB. Any other is a bonus.

Maybe can trade DDG to Real Madrid. Lololol

Mid-table team with no European action next season, Nike only sponsor Champion teams hence Man City and QPR only.

I think Conte is disappointed with the fact that he needs to part with his best players as Juve are running on red financially, my assumption is that we need to overpay to convince Juve to sell Vidal to us.

But this situation further enhances our chances of getting Vidal. #dreamon

Boss, official jersey launch is on the 17th of July, which is tomorrow.

Some stores might sell it earlier than the official launch date but from what I know, the jersey will be officially sold tomorrow onwards.
