We are gonna make a killing off this guy, especially if he wins us CL.

I hate to acknowledge but he is way bigger than the club.
But this is exactly how those sneaky Real Madrid fucks expanded their brand in the first place: did they really need Beckham when they already had Figo?
No, but they milked the shit out of his marketing appeal.

They are obsessed. A whole city with a mental disorder. Nothing better than watching Pipita continually fucking them in almost every game he played against them over the past couple of seasons.
I take it as a compliment. Most men don't let other men that close to their bumholes (despite tuz men). We have made the entire city of Napoli ghey for Juventus and Ronaldo, women already want him.

I think last season for RM was his best in career. When he was more of a CM than a winger. I never liked him before that, but he impressed me there.

Beckham has almost 400 appearances for Utd, over 150 for Madrid and 115 for England.

You don't get to those numbers for those clubs if you're a shit player.

I liked him plenty before that as well, although started to watch footie only start of 00ies, so obviously missed a large chunk of his career. Always thought that Lampard was the most talented one in that English generation though

Aside from my eagerness to see him play his first competitive game with us, the thing I keep trying to understand is how the commercial revenue will be affected by his arrival.

On shirt sales, it was estimated on a previous article I dug up that most clubs make roughly a EU12 cut on each jersey sold. If we have sold 520k CR7 Juve shirts already it is possible that in a given year we could sell anywhere between 1-1.2m shirts?. That would roughly be only EU13m in revenue - moves the needle but not by as much as one would think.

My question is other platforms. I noticed that the Juve youtube channel now has 1.1m subscribers. That is actually more than Manchester United but almost 1/5th of Barcelona or around 1/3rd of Real Madrid's. Ronaldo himself has over 1m subscribers.

I wonder how significant the social media platforms would be for commercial revenue.

that figure was reported as the jerseys sold on the first day, no? during which JuveStore f.e. was out of service, I think the end numbers of Ronaldo jerseys sold this summer will be crazy

Lampard broke trough as an elite level international player much later on though. Beckham was already in Madrid when they played their first international tournament together in 2004 for example. When Lampard won his CL medal Beckham had been in his LA retirement home for 4 years. Beckham broke trough in 1995 and was a big part of a great United team. So it's pretty clear Lampard has the edge if you leave the other players peak out when comparing them.

It's quite hard for me to even consider them to be from the same generation because all of this even though there isn't a huge age difference.

Well considering the guy who wrote it is clearly an idiot and knows very little about football that really isn't a good thing.

Really? I think people don't like him because he was a pretty face. Not only he was a great player but an amazing marketing move. Still, even if he was ugly as shit, I'd still buy him at his best because imo he was amazing at what he was doing.

Well they did play together for England for ~half of their international careers, so probably you could support either claim, anyways, always thought that Frank was an incredible midfielder, guy scored unbelievable amount of goals for a CM and could also defend, in that final you're talking about he played pretty much as a DM. Is there any other relevant club besides Chelsea who has a CM as their all time top scorer? :D

Lampard was an AM for Chelsea. His best period came when he was playing just behind guys like Drogba.

Same thing with Gerrard and Torres in their peak.
