Rodrigo Hernandez - Atletico confirm deal - p192

[Delphinho]

Problem with this as a signing is that it stops Foden getting game time as some pundits have pointed out

Have they said anything about Jesus’ game time? Can’t see him getting many minutes with Maguire potentially coming in

Not real pundits.

I know. Why we keep buying players who play in his position, I will never know.

Infuriates me - poor poor little Phil Foden. Still it’s nice to get advice from such a successful footballer who has a list of titles as long as.........

Not real pundits.

How dare you, he’s just been suffering from a ten year throat injury

 

[ninjamonkey]

I really don't think any new signing will be announced at the kit launch. When has that ever happened?

Never. It’s a marketing disaster that limits exposure to no benefit at all but that doesn’t stop fans persisting with this idea.

Two biggest and easiest marketing opportunities in football is player acquisitions and kit launches, yet some people convince themselves our very expensive, experienced, professional marketing team would decide to screw themselves over and combine them.

I can remember the days when a title win was a marketing godsend m, never mind a double !!!!

These days however, totally ignored....

Same as Fernandinho has prevented game time for Foden this season I gather. Presumably Maguire will also prevent Foden from playing. Have you ever heard of positions in a football team?

You almost got me! Haha,

I heard the reason Sané is leaving is because he’s worried Cancelo will come in and limit his game time further

I think being runners up with 97 points is the real marketing benchmark these days....

For the impact, I'd sign them both....

You would announce the players, in the old kit, rather than wait a week or two & put them in the new one ?

Why ?

Why ?

Because what clothes the players are wearing in their announcement photo is a relatively insignificant detail and announcing the signing should be the priority?

It’s not really done that way these days, the process for announcements stick to guidelines nowadays, PR and marketing are pretty important for sponsors.

Llorente has been confirmed by Atletico and has taken Rodri's number.

No I would have them in some generic city range clothing, think the John stones cagoule, or even just their normal clothes and a scarf and then they can pose in the new kit as and when. Presenting them in a new kit does absolutely nothing extra so why would they wait to do it and lose out on marketing exposure as I said in my previous post?

New signing in a new kit gets the same amount of interest as new signing in old kit. kit launch with unannounced player gets marginally more interest than kit launch without announcement but half’s the exposure time if done separately. There’s a reason it never happens, it’s a business, and like any business, marketing is key. the more you’re in the news the more popular you become.

Why do you think city announce contract extensions separately? They could easily have announced walker and zinchenko together last week but they were a day apart, why? Because it maximises exposure and this is exactly the same principle

John Stones cagoule was a Nike product and I bet they sold shitloads after that interview. So if puma can get the new signings in one of their trackie tops it might sell a few of them

Going to be completely honest with you guys, I’ve been reading between the lines and I think Rodri is on the move.

The silence makes me believe it’s to us. Roll on Monday
