EvilHawk posted:To what end? I mean, shirt sales don't go into the hands of the club really, so having a bunch more American plastics isn't really going to matter in that regards. They're not going to be going to the games. Does TV viewership matter? Not really. I suppose they can get a good pre-season tour out of it. Having more plastic American fans raises the profile of the club in a major overseas market which then increases social media engagement (twitter followers, instagram followers, fans on facebook, etc.) which they can then leverage to get more money from sponsors, get more prestigious sponsors, help with recruitment, etc. Suddenly, American companies that wouldn't give the time of day to some football club based in London might start thinking about whatever co-branding opportunities they can have with the club if they can plaster Pulisic's face on their ads. I think the shirt-selling thing is important in that it also helps raise the profile of the club overseas (my pizza delivery guy showed up wearing a PSG jersey, which i was a little taken aback by) even if the club doesn't make a dime off the actual sale of the shirt.

Loving Africa Chaps posted:I mean I could totally see him crashing and burning but iirc he's literally down to the youth team in terms of players Didn't he also hint that he'd been given assurances that he'd be given funds to bring players in this window? This must be related to that, right?
