According to daily post, New statistics have confirmed that new Arsenal signing Mesut Ozil, is trumping his replacement at Real Madrid, Gareth Bale, in shirts sales.
Ozil is outselling the Welsh winger by five to one. It makes it look as if the Gunners did better business in the transfer market, as they splashed £42.5million on the German playmaker, while the Spanish giants paid £86million for Bale.
“In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and previous stars such as David Beckham, it is almost a license to print money for the club as shirt sales and other merchandising goes through the roof.’
“While it would be untrue to say there is not an interest in Bale shirts, our sales data shows he is being significantly outsold by Mesut Ozil and is not attracting the same level of attention generated by Neymar when he transferred to Barcelona earlier in the summer.
’Madrid have come under heavy criticism for selling Ozil, even from club vice captain Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Not sure any of the readers (comments) really get it....it's not about you (over 25 can't run a 4.4 40) folks, it's about the High School phenom that is looking to be associated with a hip program. The reason Nike is cutting edge and the reason progressive Universities have followed suit is they know their target audience. Do you want staid traditions, Golf or Bowling might be more up your alley.
