I've said this time and time again, this shirt sales stuff is a myth.
People massively overestimate how many replica shirts actually get sold and most importantly forget that clubs sell off the rights to their shirts too.
The Balotelli figure was the number of shirts sold through the club stores on his first day but when you take off the amount of shirts they'd have sold regardless of Balotelli (shirts with Gerrard or Sterling on the back) and factor in the cost of them buying in the shirts from Warrior, the club makes pennies.

Looks like Chelsea have agreed a deal for the Romanian youngster Cristian Manea to join in January:

A bunch of paper selling baloney written by a bunch of underpaid baboons. If you wanted Hummels, You would have done it BEFORE you gave them thier "Jewel" back in Kagawa. I said last year if both sides wanted to improve they should do a swap. They were losing Lewandowski and Kagawa and Hernandez could have formed the partnership him and Lewie shared. United did not want them anyways and could afford to let both go. And all Dortmund would have lost was Hummels when they have Ginter on the radar and a young lad called Gunter too both probably the future Hummels.
As for the Ronaldo talk, Would i drop Mata to spend £60m on a 30 year old who couldnt wait to get out? Or would i want to exercise the no one is bigger than the club and let him stew in his own crap? Good question, If Rooney Falcao and RVP cannnot get 20 each per year then i would let Falcao leave for Ronaldo and go back to 4-2-3-1 with Ronaldo and Angel on the wings with Rooney as the number 10 and RVP up front.

The Ronaldo rumours aren't going away.
Why don't you then
I will, I'll bet you 10p he does, you got the stones?
man u are stupid enough to pay that though.
Even Real would be barking mad to pay £500/week
Fantastic player but just isnt worth it.
Also signing (by then) another over 30 on a longish contract ......
As mentioned previously, that money should go on CM /Central Defence first and foremost
His first contract when he left United with increases was supposed to be 500k per week in his last year. I imagine he's not far off that anyway. Can't see United paying it, they are just going to be used as leverage and if United don't play the game PSG will start to be used instead.
