An interesting point that was mentioned on SSN last night was the City shop has already sold 1,500 shirts with Robinho name on. Now we often talked on here about how contributions to top players wages can be made through sponsorship and marketing.

Here is a thought for you. The shirts of a certain Championship team that has an average attendance of around 10,000 are bought by the shirt manufacturer in the Far East for £5.95. These are then sold by the manufacturer to the club for £9.95. Using those figures as a base this would mean the 1,500 shirts City have sold with Robinho on have generated up to £30,000 already.

Its frightening the amount of money that can be generated if Robinho becomes a world star at City.
