No disrespect to the guy, but do you often see people with the shirt of a GK from any team ?
Personnally, I don't ... So I don't think it opens a market. If we sign a defender, a midfielder or a striker, why not, but no way a GK will allow us to sell more shirts in Asia !! And if this GK never plays, it's even worse, as that won't make the Asian/Japanese medias talk more about us.
Agreed. Good player sells shirts. Period. It doesn't matter if he's good-looking like (Beckham) or not even close (Ronaldinho ) if he's good enough (indicated by being played regularly) then he'll sell shirts. Not the other way around. How much US market share did we manage to get by having Onyewu anyway?
