Puma - £650M shirt deal confirmed

[Nascent Blues]

For someone who's clueless in such matters, would that cover the future amortization costs for our recent acquisition of players?

Why you want to know that

I think that’s known on the internet as a ‘whooosh’

Nike is better than Puma.

Hopefully Nike will counter.

Puma, seriously what a bad choice. They make average kits and don't have the presence of a big club sponsor. Wish it would've have been Adidas. Rather keep Nike then.

They have the presence of £50m a year though which I’m sure will help to soften the blow.

also hate their "every kit looks like it's been mashed together with Tetris pieces" style. Grrr...I can see home kit full of navy blue again next season...urgh.

They're hardly unknown!

It would also be a great opportunity for us to be the face of a company (only Arsenal are represented by them and we've been better than them for a while now, plus they are moving to Adidas next year) and potentially earn more from them in the future.

Nike and Adidas clearly weren't offering the same money, given they represent Bayern, United, Real (Adidas) and Chelsea, PSG, Barcelona (Nike), why would we stick we companies that undervalue us?

Can't be true, we don't have any history.

Think it’s a bigger Whooosh than that ;)

Pity Fred Perry don’t do football shirt sponsor but if true 50m is pretty decent.

I like Puma kits and 50m is a statement, hope it's true.
