How many of the shirts you see are genuine and how many are Chinese fakes?

I presume they are all official ones - the snide ones must be off the scale. It’s basically saying they’ve sold about 2m official shirts to their “loyal fan base” this year. They’re a different breed. I don’t get it, but then again I haven’t brought one of ours in the last 20 plus years because I look like a right **** in them.
 
Cant believe anyone still spins this shit. Clubs make little out of actual shirt sales, they make the money out of the initial deal (with adidas in this case) and the shirt manufacturers make money back on sales

had to explain this to a customer the other day who told me “‘nited already in profit on ronny”. No youre not
This is correct.
All the rags get out of the shirt sales, is the sale of the lettering for names on the back.
 
I keep hearing almost daily that the rags have a great squad, but a shit manager. I think we can all agree on the manager but look down the squad list and how many would you really take, and who would they replace in our squad.

1. David De Gea
2. Victor Lindelof
3. Eric Bailly
4. Phil Jones (homegrown)
5. Harry Maguire (homegrown)
6. Paul Pogba (homegrown)
7. Cristiano Ronaldo
8. Juan Mata
9. Anthony Martial
10. Marcus Rashford (homegrown)
11. Mason Greenwood (homegrown)*
13. Lee Grant (homegrown)
14. Jesse Lingard (homegrown)
16. Amad*
17. Fred
18. Bruno Fernandes
19. Raphael Varane
20. Diogo Dalot
21. Edinson Cavani
22. Tom Heaton (homegrown)
23. Luke Shaw (homegrown)
25. Jadon Sancho (homegrown)*
26. Dean Henderson (homegrown)
27. Alex Telles
29. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (homegrown)
31. Nemanja Matic
34. Donny van de Beek
36. Anthony Elanga (homegrown)*
39. Scott McTominay (homegrown)
43. Teden Mengi (homegrown)*
46. Hannibal*
47. Shola Shoretire (homegrown)*
51. Matej Kovar (homegrown)*
taking my blue tinted specs off and there's probably 2 or 3 I'd take. Shaw, Ronaldo (yes I know) and Cavani (for a plan B battering ram type system). The rest of them are poor by our standards

The hype around their players is incredible. Luke Shaw is the only one that could get in our squad.
 
Seen summat a while back,it was saying on average,clubs get 7.5% of shirt sales.
Some of the bigger clubs get a bit more....so based on 7.5%,if Ronaldo sold 300k shirts at say £90 each,that would be £27m and 7.5% would mean he made them just over £2m.
It's probably slightly more,but it ain't paying for no transfer.
They will pay him 10 times more in wages than he'll ever make in shirt sales.
The rags took the up front payment for shirt sales, as part of the sponsorship. So the only money they would earn from shirt sales, would be for the lettering of names on the back of shirts.

Shaw would be put on the Catalan diet and would rival Kyle for speed had Pep got hold of him.
