the revenue madrid received from selling Beckham's image be it shirts, sponsorship deals, toys etc was far more than what he actually cost them in transfer fees, wages etc. I don't remember the figures but they made a very tidy profit.
not sure if it's the same in UK but here they use players in all sorts of adverts. there's an advert with Casillas selling insurance and there was one of Messi and Ronaldinho advertising Danone Yogurts!
Can't really see Skrtle and Carra advertising anti-wrinkle cream somehow, maybe Gerrard though :P
Nice one! Im gunna nip to the shops and buy 3 then we can splash the cash on Villa, Silva and who ever else as we will have 300 million dollars in the back bin.
i think david villa is a truly world class player but i don't see where he fits in ? i love our formation i love everything about our starting line up apart from left wing ... and i wouldn't have any player in the world that might mess with that formation just like i really didn't want robbie keane last summer i would much rather keep alonso and mascherano than sign villa now we have johnson we only have one weak point i think with johnson we have the best starting eleven in the world beautifully balenced world class players from goalkeeper to striker
