PPPPPPPPPPPP10 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Does anyone know how big an influence does a famous player, in my case shinji kagawa, have on merchandise income? When I first I signed him I was told he's going to help with my merchandise sell although I never really know how much a boost it gave. Just recently Barca made a rather generous offer for him and my biggest concern would be the hit that I would take merchandise-wise... So is it better to just keep kagawa for the merchandise boost or should I sell him? Barca offering me 26.5m pound btw which is pretty nice for a rotation player, and I already have the young player that might be able to take his spot... Second question is if I add another player(s) that can boost merchandising sales do the boost add-up or? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blidly Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I would take it , i cant see his merchandise costing you 26.5 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy_jankis Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yeah, 26 millions for a rotation player is a must sell, I guess. I got the feeling that those "famous player is going to sell more merchandise"-messages are pretty random, never saw a noticeable difference...

PPPPPPPPPPPP10 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Ty. I wish I could see how much his leaving would affect my finance just out of curiosity but yeah I guess selling him is the best move, after all he's 27 in game and his price is going nowhere but down after that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPPPPPPPPPPP10 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Ehm... Kagawa rejected Barca's offer I thought since he had "preference to play in Barcelona" the deal would be a shoo-in... I guess next time I'll set his squad status to not needed ... Bye-bye record transfer fee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
achilles-the-victorious Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 LOL, thats a kick in the teeth. Recently I was in negotiations with Man U to buy their star AMC/ST, a lad I watched develop but never thought he was worth the asking price till he had finally matured. Well, I go in for him because Man U accept an offer from Lazio, so I am thinking, yep, I am higher reputation, I am a famous manager, my team has been more successful than Lazio, I will offer this kid the first thing he asks for, maybe a couple hundred K signing bonus extra for him and the agent. And he signs for Lazio, 2nd or 3rd best in Italy, but still! Rather than play for a team that won 2 European Cups in the last 5 years vs Lazio's 0?! I find that international feeder clubs will tend to help merchandise sales, as will having a star studded lineup in general. But I mean, have I ever paid $40m for a player and see his jersey sales rather than his goals pay for the transfer? Never. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
