So Falcao is sponsored by puma.As is Reus this puma thing could grow on me you know!
Reus & draxler would do I suppose.
Cristiano and Neymar are sponsored by Nike. Why didn't we sign them using that logic?
What the logic is I think is that it wouldn't make the signign easier literally,
However, it is possible that players sponsored by puma have a deal in place where they get paid for wearing puma made clothing and products on camera, and with us having a long term deal to have puma produced kits it could prove quite lucrative for the player.
On the other hand, not all deals are like that, not all deals like that are so lucrative(low incentives) and not all players are so mercenary.
It was a bit of a joke can't really see us signing either! Just thought it was funny that Gazidis was talking about signing a player sponsored by puma so out of curiosity I had a look who was sponsored by them. ;)
Balotelli, yaya toure, I once had a pair of puma astro's ;)
