Folarin Balogun: Balogone

[Tir Na Nog]

He received the ball with his back to goal, instinctively turns and shoots and subsequently scores. Lacazette in the same situation, hogs onto the ball before eventually losing it and people will cry that we don't create chances for him.

Not much else to say, early days but he looks real promising, seems like a great athlete, very strong and well rounded.

Send Eddie on loan to prove himself with consistent minutes and tell Balogun he's getting Eddie's minutes if he signs.

 

[MutableEarth]

The instinctual nature of his goal really sums him up. An exciting player and I hope to see more of him in the 1st team from now on.

@MutableEarth evening set then...

 

[Rex Stone]

Up there for most pointless stat I’ve ever seen

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Our academy strikes again!

 

[DasBootist]

Our academy strikes again!

Who's next, Azeez?

 

[Blaziken]

Huge talent, will take the carpet by the storm next year!

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Who's next, Azeez?

Yeah and Cortrell who was also on the bench tonight!

Maybe even Omari Hutchinson but doubt Arteta is that wild.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Balogun scored with his 1st ever attempt for Arsenal. He has arrived

 

[El Duderino]

Not to throw shade on our very own Maradona, but didn't Eddie score twice on his debut for us?

Yes he did

 

[Penn_]

Give it a couple of years and AM will be bored of him.

Yes he did. Great memory there!

 

[Macho]

Been watching him a bit for the U23's recently (trying to get a peek of Saliba tbh) but I like what I see of him.

Unlike Eddie who you can tell we will eventually cash in on, it seems a bit different with this guy. He's exciting for sure I hope his contract gets sorted out.

 

[MutableEarth]

Who's next, Azeez?

Should be. He's the star of the current group of scholars.

 

[RunTheTrap]

Our academy’s strong point has always been midfield imo but in recent years we are improving a lot in the forward areas. Just wish we could improve on defence too.

Well we do have potential in that department too:

Daniel Ballard
Mark McGuinness
Harry Clarke
Zach Awe
Zane Monlouis
Mazeed Ogungbo

All very solid defensive prospects - Daniel Ballard in particular has already performed very well against decent opposition in International games for Northern Ireland.
