OTF 6145 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Apparently Barca have already recouped the Neymar fee from shirt sales... Not as though they would have sold a lot less without Neymar. Glory hounds the world over will get Barca/Real Madrid shirts more or less regardless of who they buy. They'll still dominate the sales and their league with more realistically prices players.

adios 717 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 But Neymar is surely part of the cumulative effect that allows them to sell so many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 6145 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 But Neymar is surely part of the cumulative effect that allows them to sell so many? Yes, though Neymar was priced more realistically than Bale. My point was that new players of sufficient shirt selling quality don't have to cost ridiculous amounts. I'm very interested to see how Bale does and how he fits in with the team - he should do exceptionally well seeing as many of the opposing teams in that league are weak.

Park Life 70 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 It's one of the ways we miss out on revenue that needs working on. One or two marquee players and proper summer tournaments in Asia etc...Pissing around in Portugal playing midgets was ridiculous. Just a holiday really.

Kid Dynamite 5903 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Aye, not gonna happen. Wouldn't be surprised if Carr and JFK didnt leave the country again until after the window shut.

The way football is readily available all over the world at the touch of a button, we should employ someone to identify markets and aggressively market Newcastle United there. America is a huge market and their interest in "soccer" is definitely growing. Given Newcastle Brown Ale's popularity over there, the opportunity to have some kind of mutually beneficial tie-in is massive.

I fully expect Ashley to 'keep his powder dry', royally fucking pardew up the arse for the second consecutive summer. This time he'll get the chop shortly after the window shuts.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Sunday Sun reporting that Arsenal will come back in with a £17million bid for Cabaye but will also offer £10million for Tim Krul #nufc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2410 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I think that's pretty good money for Cabaye to be honest. Although there's obviously the problem that the money won't go back into the kitty for a new players to come in. Krul I would think is worth close to twice that.

rogerbarton 24 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The way football is readily available all over the world at the touch of a button, we should employ someone to identify markets and aggressively market Newcastle United there. America is a huge market and their interest in "soccer" is definitely growing. Given Newcastle Brown Ale's popularity over there, the opportunity to have some kind of mutually beneficial tie-in is massive. It's weird for someone who has made so much money from taken advantage of brands, to so comprehensively fail to make the most of ours? Working in south east Asia at the moment, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore - all these countries are absolutely crazy about football. PSV came to Bangkok in their winter break and it was a massive deal. Atletico Madrid bought a Thai player and everyone went out and got their shirts. Tons of people have Everton shirts 'cos they're sponsored by Chang. I think the Asian market is something Newcastle could easily tap into and probably should have done the summer when we finished 5th. The people out here know their football really well, you get the odd Swansea 'fan' because of the football they've played recently and there are a lot of people who are still interested in Newcastle from back in the Keegan/Robson years. I know Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal came through SE Asia this summer, and Barcelona too, but I see no reason why Newcastle couldn't attract big crowds over here if they marketed things properly. A cheap deal with a crisps company and a token Thai signing and you're sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
