Clubs don’t even earn that much from shirt sales either, the money comes from the licensing fee with the manufacturer.

Spurs are one of, if not the most popular English team in Argentina. I've heard this from countless Argentines I've met here over the last 35 years.
On more than one occasion I've stopped by a bar for some swift refreshment and ended up downing too many beers with albiceleste lads chatting football.
The last time was on a train back home, got talking to an Argentinian bloke who started skinning up. I think it's the only time I have ever smoked anything on a suburban train here.
They all know their Spurs and are delighted to talk about Ossie and Ricky, Pochettino, Lamela and the rest of the boys.
So how is it different where Koreans are involved?
We've never played the South Korean army, navy and air force - away - and thrashed all three of them?
If your worst fears are true, SO WHAT?
It’s not like the transfer fee was 120M quid or even 20M quid like Chavs are throwing around for unproven Brazilian kids. The fee is reportedly 4M Euro - about HALF of our Bald Cunt’s annual wage. Club will probably make that back in U21 shirt sales to Koreans before he’s even at the club in January.
So it’s a FREE PUNT on a kid that Chavs, City or Liverpool also reportedly put in a bid for. - and the commercial angle is added bonus init.
So I don’t understand your concern - What’s the problem? Seems to me like it’s all potential upside.
Obviously I’d like to see for signings for senior players. But 4M quid won’t matter when it comes to our pursuit of Eze, Toney, David, etc.

I would absolutely LOVE to repeat my earlier scenario with some Koreans here or wherever sometime.
Drop into a bar to kill 15 minutes until my bus comes. Leave hours later with addresses in Seoul having discussed tactics on bar napkins.
Wait til he meets Sonny's Dad!
I don't think we should COMPLETELY downplay the marketing importance of the Rhonda Valley
As good captains should
Sonny's dad is currently involved in a legal case over his training methods so maybe now isn't a good time.Wait til he meets Sonny's Dad!
Son Heung-min’s father promises change after bullying accusations at academy
Son Woong-jung says he will seek ‘other ways’ to help young athletes stay committed to training

This is what you become when you dont get proper education, people.
Never change, spurs fanbase, never change.
Actually plz do change coz its annoying as fuck
You really need pointing out the differences between football markets in Asia compared to South America?
No one is saying the lad isn't a talented player, but this is primarily, majorly about keeping the South Korean fanbase onside for when we cash in on Son/he gets too old for ENIC. If you really think otherwise you're delusional.
It's a punt on a youngster that won't cost much and keeps the travelling tourist fans onside and the Won rolling in.
(Oh look, a cretin disagrees)

If we are expecting Koreans to spend money on the club if Yang isn't good enough then we will be severely disappointed.
If he's really good AND also a really human being like Son, then Koreams will be super proud of him and spend money. If he's not those things then it won't make any difference to them that he's Korean. if anything they will be less likely to spend money on him.
He was poor last season, buying him over Micky VdV would have been criminal.
Nobody was saying that when he helped Napoli win Serie A and we didn't have VDV yet.
At that time everyone was moaning blaming and throwing wobblies.
