I know, I know ... MLS. But New York City FC introduced Frank Lampard today and he'll join David Villa in the teams first season in 2015. I want to get tickets but they're playing in Yankee Stadium the first season or two. I'll wait til they get their soccer field built.

 

Damn.. I always liked Villa. Wish he'd have joined the Lions, because that would make pulling for the local team easier to stomach thanks to Kaka being there.

 

But New York can keep that prick Lampard.  :devil:

I will be getting season tickets, in probably the supporters section. Pretty cheap. $350 for the season. Yankee Stadium is pretty good and has good sight lines. Only problem is it's in the Bronx...

345,000 shirts sold in 48 hrs. That's incredible. Thanks Colombia for funding James' transfer.

 

 

20 million bucks recovered in 48 hours. At this rate, Real Madrid will have recovered all of it's investment back next week.

 

 

The website I linked didn't say anything about monetary value. It said 345,000 shirts were sold. That's it. There's no implying there. Whether you choose to believe the reports legitimacy/numbers accuracy is up to you.

 

Pretty sure this is why Arsen replied like that. Yeah they are selling tons of shirts and they are making $$$, their actual profit is not totally different to what a lot of media/fans imply.

Adidas will get a major chunk of the sales but at the rate this is progressing Real might see a nice amount returned.

 

Real makes annually $350-$400 million on sale of merchandize.  That's a lot of money.  People in Spain are crazy about their teams.  People in 3rd would countries usually don't pay $100 for jerseys.  When I used to live abroad I saw fakes sold everywhere for $20 and they looked and felt authentic.

They're making a decent amount of money at a pretty fast rate. The biggest reason his shirt is selling so well is because Colombian's are buying it in droves. So I don't think it's inaccurate to say Colombian's will fund a pretty sizable portion of the transfer.

So soccer works there? I go to a lot of Yankees games, and the trip isn't too bad. I just figured soccer wouldn't work there. Maybe I'll do it! Ha, I want to come up with a chant.

Poor Wenger is getting old.  He just told this to reporters:

 

 

"You know at the start Szczensy will be the No. 1, then again we'll be down to performances and, if Ospina shows that he is better, he will play," he said.

 

Ospina was not officially annouced yet.  Wenger slipped.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By amcoolio · Posted

      I hope not. 3rd-5th round QB's are historically awful. Most of the time that team is just drafting another QB in the first the following year. Look at the Saints, if they continue to suck this year they are just taking a QB. And if they do they just threw away a 2nd round pick that they just drafted. We did the same poo with Clausen, Greer, Pike, that guy we drafted a few years ago who is so irrelevant I forgot his name...  Just take a 1st round QB if Bryce isn't the answer and be prepared to live with it

      This reminds me on Madden where you create an alternate uniform and the pre-recorded voice overs talk about how hideous your uniform looks. 🤣

      Trade for a QB?

      By amcoolio · Posted

      There are people on this forum that just want to see a lot of passing yards....number go up. That's all it is, really. They are thirsting for a 350-400 yard game. The idea that Jameis Winston is going to come in and play like a star and lead us to wins is ludacris. He's the 3rd fuging string for a 2-5 team and has played horrible for years now. Sure, passing numbers will go up but you'll also get a lot of dumb plays, pick 6's, and incompletions en route to a frustrating bad offensive performance, just in a different way. I think these people are yearning for another Delhomme situation, and the odds of that happening are very very slim. It's way more likely Howell or Jameis comes in and looks like Jack Plummer or Andy Dalton did in the preseason. There just isn't that much good quarterbacking in this league right now. And if we draft another QB in the first round, there is a good chance they bust. It's not a guaranteed carrot. The reality is, as mediocre as Bryce has been, the risk of bringing someone else in in-season and releasing Bryce becuase you aren't happy with his current performance is staggeringly high. Don't want to re-up his contract and search for a solution in the offseason? Sure, I'm on board. Bryce hasn't been good enough to warrant a second contract. But It is very. very unlikely that bringing someone else in midseason is going to give this team more wins.
