Re: American signing
ThrillhouseI think this tends to be more of a thing when it’s less trodden ground (like Hull buying a load of Turkish players).
Every man and his dog is owned by a Yank these days.
Same. I've seen people say that Miyoshi will also help us make money from the Japanese market. I think it will make no bit of difference. He's not played a game for Japan since 2020.
Even Trusty isn't particularly high profile in the US. I think we're too financially limited to bother trying to sign players to break international markets, it's a quite high-risk strategy for likely low financial reward.
I noticed Hannibal would get the most international traction as he's quite high profile in Tunisia. He's the kind of player that might genuinely help you sell shirts in new markets but his fee would counteract that anyway.
