Non-Arsenal Transfers Thread: January 2020

Yeah, so many seem to be doing it too. I just find it difficult to understand who is buying a 'Jlingz' hoodie for £45?

I see the brand was at a £200k loss in its first year, but that doesnt really tell you much as there is going to be the initial outlay.

Fair play to him I suppose, if there is a market and want for his brand then it is what it is.

Yes, fair enough to him I guess, but imagine how refreshing it would be if one of them, maybe Eric Dier, opened a chain of bookshops?

If the people want it I suppose, I imagine a lot of these types of brands dont have much actual input from the 'celebs' anyway, people probably come to them with the idea, designs, styles and even the logo, they just ok it sit there and collect.

You can kind of tell none of the clothing has had that much thought, its pretty much the same as most others, the logo is the only difference, this is why I struggle to understand who would choose this over the competition, the pricing is the same range as established competitors.

Probably best too get back on topic now though, doubt many care for a Jlingz bobble hat..

Should cop one of the latest hoodies, would pair well with your bootcuts and yeezy's.

Real talk though, any geeza wearing this sh*t deserves a slap. No offense, @Trilly.

Why the **** do you think I own his merch?

Youtubers and celebs (some) exploit 'fans' through merchandise by making crap and thoughtless clothing and selling it for a big margin.

To me, in cases like this, the blame lies on the consumer. Don't really see it as exploitation unless there's false advertisement going on. If buyers continue to buy crap, sellers will give them crap.

When consumers are young kids it's exploitation massively.

What’s the issue? Lingard has a fan base and he like everybody else in his position is trying to create a revenue stream from that.

I read recently his clothing is doing very poorly anyway.

Ehh. Young kids don't have their own income. Parents need to be more responsible.

But parents aren't looking at the bigger picture, they see a t-shirt with a logo and say oh my kid wants that he can have it, it's just another brand. When in reality that t-shirt cost £1 to make and has 0 thought put into it.

Seen a few man walking around the Ilford Exchange in the merch so you came top of mind.

might not be a terrible option for United, would give the younger forwards a couple more years to develop

He’s 33 next month. 18 months at Chelsea to rotate and back up with Tammy makes more sense than going to Utd and expecting him to start, they really need a new top striker.

That's precisely what I refer to when I say parents should be more responsible. Scrutinize the product, don't just go "my kid wants it so he can have it". That's how you raise an irresponsible child, which won't bode well for him/her or you.

(Apologies for derailing the thread)

Seems to be the perfect fit for Simeone, makes a tiny bit of sense if the pay is far greater at Chelsea but United gotta be a no go at this point.

Torres, Eto’o, Higuain, Falcao, *cough* Giroud *cough* Their recent record is awful when it comes to the ‘proven’ striker signing. If Cavani were to join I’d back their curse to take care of things with him aswell.

Bayern want to loan Cancelo but City prefer to sell.

Which 60M full back will Pep be after now ffs?

Never understood this move from City, Juve must have been so happy when that bid came in

Yeah, Juve got Danilo instead, who is so bad that Cuadrado has to play RB
