Good. Reinforces the belief that the glazers aren’t selling up any time soon

Hopefully Adidas will produce a sky blue away kit next season and watch the rags implode.

Onana pinging his long balls towards Gashfoot, then watching him give the ball away for a throw in or repeatedly being flagged offside, has made the GK's "long ball weapon" defunct already.

Offside rule does not apply for Rashford as we saw numerous times last season

£900m 10yr kit provider for a team that's been treading water for 10yrs.

Nothing to see here. That's not over inflating sponsorship. Of course not.

This is from their game this morning

He inherited van Nistelroy's cloak of invisibility.

So basically their new keeper rants and shouts at defenders, wow, why have we never seen this before from a keeper in the history of football

This picture was taken in New Jersey, last week. I counted 20 adidas shirts in that one image. If you work for adidas, those people are like 100 dollar bills. They may be rubbish on the pitch, but they are still a cash cow off it.

No denying that pal, just would expect the same amount of scrutiny for such a large, long term contract

Should have given Phil a new contract.

Obviously £900m in the bank now is a hell of a war chest, but even if it's 'only' £90m per year it's a big help. I do wonder though how much £90m a year will be worth in terms of football finance during the last five years of this deal? My guess is long term it might be a better deal for Adidas than the rags - unless they are in division 2 by then.
