Shirt sales are a minor commercial aspect. It’s brand exposure for both Spurs and the potential stadium sponsor in the US. The difference between an American company paying £20m a year and £30m a year (numbers are not indicative of actual figures/example only).

NFL on top and spurs are the making major waves in the US market, more than ever before.

Not to mention, he’s a great talent.

Ticks more boxes than is even fair.

Like Pulisic and like the signing, but I really hope people are prepared to give him time to come good. The kid is 19, he has raw talent but will quite possibly take time to adjust to Poch, to PL, new teammates new pace new physicality etc. I think his first season could be comparable to Lamela’s first season, flashes of brilliance but also some inconsistency - but given time and avoiding the injury problems that plagued Lamela, he really could become special.

Real sign players all the time for commercial benefit. Why would anyone get upset if we did the same.
Who is saying they’re upset about that?

I now understand why A&C gets so frustrated in here. The skulls in here are so thick you think you could only find specimens like that on a paleontological dig.

A couple posters stated they didn’t like the fact the first thing people mention about Pulisic is the commercial side instead of his footballing ability - which is very good.

They then clarified those statements a second time by saying there’s nothing wrong with the commercial aspect, but it’s unforrunate that people barely want to look at the footballing ability.

To which people somehow still post about others complaining about the commercial aspect which no one has actually done.

I really hope this is fresh ITK though and not something we’ve tried for and already been turned down.

Commercial aspect = the player thread now. I let it go today because I'm a fucking nice guy, but that has a short shelf life.

I now understand why A&C gets so frustrated in here.

I do get frustrated and hope people take the abuse in the spirit it is intended. Their mums certainly do :D

No cockcheese was hurt in the writing of that post.
