Keisuke Honda (本田圭佑) Thread

Hmm ... how much would the shirt shales generate? I remember reading that Cronaldo's shirt sales were cosmical figures. I don't expect the same from Honda, but maybe they would make sth like 15m thus making the transfer like a free bet - if he's good he will help us and if he doesn't break through we got the money back through shirt sales and can offload him with a lower price but would be good in the end.

On a side note: i think we have the most sad financial situation out of all the big clubs that we actually need a sponsor to pay for the transfer of a player who`s worth ~15 millions ,not some astronomic figure in which case it would make it ok.

Milan are giving serious thought to a bid for CSKA Moscow's Japan international Keisuke Honda, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Rossoneri are already in the process of making contact with Honda's representatives to sound out a possible agreement.

Milan's board are convinced of the 24-year-old midfielder's technical capabilities after watching him drag Japan to the Last 16 of the World Cup.

They have also never lost sight of the commercial opportunities a player like Honda could present.

In fact, such is his following in Asia, Milan could start charging €1.5m for friendly matches while shirt sales would go through the roof.

However, Milan face significant competition for Honda as he is attracting interest from Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City.

For this reason, La Gazzetta dello Sport understands that Milan's new sponsor Fly Emirates could figure in the deal, as there would be a synergy in signing Honda.

Really hope this move happens and its not just paper talk.He has good skills on the ball,his a runner ,fights for every ball etc.We really could use a player like in the midfield

Same react, It is hard to believe it but not impossible to convince ourself, for sure Fly Emirates can do the Trick, but did you imagine if Honda + Ballo are landing at Milan? (R80 + Pato + Honda +Ballo) it will be like "The Damage Quarto" :eek:

Ball will cost 40-45M (Berlu Gift)!
Honda will cost 15 to 20M

Selling Hunty ---> 15-18M

So Berlu could invest with 25M approximately the same Berlu Gift price in 2007 (R80).

High hopes will sure be disappointed in the soon future :rolleyes:

We're some broke a** n****z (n/r) but that isn't the case here I think. Fly Emirates just sees an opportunity to make business and may step in. Not like Milan is begging them to step in because we can't afford it.

yep shirt sales must mean they get a cut from sponsorships right?

No. Fly Emirates would use him(his image) in their marketing for Asia.

Sonny.Bill.Williams · Jul 6, 2010

yeah ,just thought they get a cut from every shirt sold ,because they sponsor it

even then.... if there is such an opportunity for fly emirates to make there money back and profit, again it's BAD BUSINESS FOR MILAN. Because when they start profitting on him, milan won't see the money. That could be money for Milan...

what you thought fly emirates just are going to do it for good will?

No, I meant endorsement deals. No way Milan can get the money Fly Emirates would make in their business. Fly Emirates would get a face for Asian market, Milan would get a player + shirtsales in Asian market and Honda would get into a top-club + better contract.

ok makes sense. I'm unsure fly emirates relation with CSKA? It seems like they think they can act as an emissary to secure player for milan over other clubs.

Renegade · Jul 8, 2010

This signing would never happen. It makes way too much sense. Also, he isn't 30, or approaching it.

Ganso Whitout any doubt, he reminds me the time i firts saw Kaka, Honda is just a good player, maybe not enough to be here.

Thats funny cause ganso is literall nothing like Kaka. Ganso for one is not fast. his technique will tumph anything kaka has ever done but he is not fast.... you could compare him to zidane or fabregas style #10 but no way kaka. Techniqually brilliant, 6th sense, vision, dream..... Honda is more like kaka than him. Actually i'd say ozil reminds me of kak in terms of style...

who is better of the two? I'm not sure... i like both. I have a soft spot for players like ganso but realistically milan need a quicker player. But if we got ganso i wouldnt complain

anilak · Jul 8, 2010

Who's better ? :O

Ganso >>> Honda ..

Ganso in future will become a great great player .. He's the next great no 10 .. If u don't believe me just mark it down and see in 2014 .. I still rate him over Ozil .. Dunga was just an idiot for not adding him in the squad ..

Honda's a good player .. hardworkin and active and I really liked him this world cup .. And will be a great marketing tool for milan too and will bring us tons more cash than Ganso or almost anyone else ..Milannews say that Honda could bring us around 1.5 million euros each game televised in Asia. Brand of milan + honda = loads of cash for our management ..

Don't hold your breath waiting for this gift lol. I seriously dont think he ever intended to give us one, he just said that to calm everyone down for a while.

Our only hope is that we start selling players and fast, if we can offload Hunt atleast the pressure is on G to sign someone good and can stop FUCKING toying with us.

In God we can only trust.

selling players? forget about it, this is milan! We extend and extend until their careers are almost over and they either retire or walk for free.

on another note, Honda will not be Berlu's gift. I haven't even heard him talking about honda. No man crush, no buy.

Haha, like the intelligent man above me said. We're never gonna sell. We're going to extend Gattuso, Pirlo, and Ambrosini to 10 year extensions. I heard Maldini might be back as well.

They would take those four at their current state over Messi/Maicon/De Rossi/Iniesta if the contracts were the same.

The Fly Emirates, the new main sponsor of AC Milan, is pushing very strongly for the Japanese port of CSKA Moscow, Keisuke Honda.

The Japanese airline sees a possible source of income as Infront would support that choice, as would sell more brand Milan in Asia, particularly Japan and China.

This kind of move always ended sucks, tbh...

might aswell! we need all the money we can get, He might not be what we need football wise. But business wise it could be a good. Plus we need a creative player after the exit of Dinho and other senetors mainly Dorf and Pirlo.
