I don't think he will do any impact in US...so what if he
finishes top scorer, best player ??? Americans don't dig soccer,
thats it. Sure, he can sell more shirst but can he outsell
Basketball jerseys or American football or Baseball jerseys in
US?
He will lose his 'familiarity' in Asia (where incidentally the high
paying fans in China and Japan). How often you hear about scores in
the American league? If American league is so good, why would the
American league players move to Europe? Once ppl don't see him in
action, he'll be forgotten. Simple.
But if he plays baseball, then its different, it will lift his
popularity and he will gain more from shirt sales and various
endorsement. I think he will last only one or two years before he
is shipped out....
