Not easy trying to find some common ground between a giant of a football club and a kitchen maker.

But they've tried.

Shit I was hoping for joint effort with Tinder.
How much did Ed squeeze out of them?

Still think they missed a trick not having the sponsor printed on the neck of the shirt...

That video is great to be fair. Our marketing department must have threw a kitchen sink at it.

I knew Griezmann signing that new contract was all for show.
He's definitely coming!

I think this cheapens our kit and club image. Not worth it.

That's alright. Fairly bland logo and innocuous brand, you barely notice it's there.

Think it was suggested to be around £10m p/a.
That's around the same the other top clubs get for their sleeve sponsor, isn't it?
I really thought we would destroy the others again in the sponsorship category

Think the going rate (so to speak) is 20% of the value of the principle kit sponsor. In our case Chevrolet being worth £50m p/a.

I am surprised the reddit guy got 50% of his info correct. Unfortunately, I wish it had been the other 50% and not this which was legit.

That was the most rational conclusion. He tried to use his knowledge of Kohler to fabricate a transfer rumour. Classic confidence trick.

He got Dalot and Grant correct too. He even got the exact time of the announcement right for Dalot. Pretty clear he does have connections even if he was wrong about Griezmann.

That's a different person. Kohler guy only talked about Kohler.

Someone else called out Dalot 2 hours before he signed and it was not the Kohler guy.

No I'm taking about the other guy who first broke this story.

Two questions:

  1. How much is this deal worth?
  2. Where's the link to the reddit people are talking about?

There are two reddit people who claim to be ITK:
The first one was called "United_This_Us" and he claimed United were going to have Kohler as their sleeve sponsor and that United had also activated a release clause which he believed was Griezmann.
https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/comments/8n9ntp/tad_bit_of_info_that_i_have_held_back_on/

The second one is called "xisimon" and it appears he correctly identified the timing of the Dalot and Grant deals before they were announced, as well as having information about the Kohler deal. He has claimed to have further knowledge about another signing but has yet to reveal anything more:
