Who have Nike helped United sign? I haven't seen sponsors sign players or even pony up additional cash on top of what they did for the contract. I think their thinking is that they already paid their money and now it's time for Arsenal to hit performance targets.
Why didn't Nike help us before? Why would Puma be different? Wouldn't Liverpool's sponsor also help out if this is the why things worked? I haven't seen this theory outside of Twitter....

PS I do think any official unveiling will wait until the new kit is out. Puma don't want players holding up old Nike kits but I don't think they'll have a influence or role in the signing.
