Folarin Balogun: Balogone

Is he better than Lacazette?

While I have no idea if Balogun will sign or not, I'd suggest some random bloke on twitter alluding to something that he doesn't actually say is hardly cause for so many people to lose their ****
Omg we just lost the new Brazilian Ronaldo we are screwed lol

Also he was let go because he lacked size - he's grown since then. A lot of people were shocked they didn't sign him
It’s why Chelsea let Lamptey go and kept Reece James iirc.

Reece was much bigger when it came to decision time, both great so either of them would have been good for Chelsea but we see Lamptey setting the prem alight this season.

Im possible to put a hard cap on a young players ability, too many have gone on to have big growth spurts or turn out to be late bloomers later down the line.

Before anyone posts the tweet about him signing for Liverpool, it's not true.

This is why I’m not buying him being bigger talent than nketiah. They are similar level and with good academy you will have a lot of one of these two type of situations. We can’t keep every talented youngster who come through. Martinelli is exactly same age as balugon as well. Then you have Moller who is different type of striker as well. It’s gonna be one of either nketiah or balugon

Think something is on the way though, he is gone.

He’s played 20 minutes this season? It’s nearly January. Think he’s allowed to speak to clubs in a few weeks so it’s over.

If you’re advising him, you wouldn’t extend at Arsenal. The manager has shown no faith or investment in him. He’s 20 soon, so he isn’t even that young. You’ll be part of the first team at lower level PL clubs or most German clubs.

Gone. Good for him too. He’s from America, not some local boy with the club in his blood.

It wouldn't be an AM thread without Gdeep saying everywhere but Arsenal is the best for the player.
Cold facts. Guy is 20 soon and played 20 minutes? He’ll get first team minutes in Germany and a lot of PL clubs. Sheffield Utd wanted him.

These kids have 10 years and it’s finished. There is a reason why it’s nearly January and he’s barely played or extended, do the maths.

:lol: His parents moved him from the US when he was 2 and has lived in London for all of his life. He has no idea about being an American, ffs.

Leicester would be a good move. West Ham need a young striker. So do Crystal Palace, Wolves etc. These are top clubs.

He’ll feature for nearly every French or German club too. So many options.

Poor planning again really. Sign him up in the summer with a loan organised. Having him and Eddie at Arsenal at the same time is silly. Either Eddie should have gone on loan or vice versa

With a lot of luck we can get a Callum Hudson-Odoi situation where we can show him a clear path into the team......with some money of course.......not that I’m sure that has worked particularly well for Callum.

At this current time he’s right though.

Tbe only 20 year old at the entire club kinda thriving at 20 or below is Saka and he’s being over played.

Thankfully we’re not the club where players to come to improve and move on to Barcelona or City anymore. This also means it’s the type where Willian, Cedric or Jorginho come to retire and rob minutes from promising youth.

Arsenal have always had a lot of young players and given them minutes. Going through a period where the manager is tryna make stuff click isnt the right time to cast judgement on the ethos at the club. We have signed and played multiple young players in the last few years. I expect Arteta to start playing them if he finally gets a good base going, or the new manager to do so if Arteta fails.

You'd think we are an Italian club the way some are going on about it.

so he would be playing as a backup striker for the worst twam in the league like brewster who is older and far more experienced. They wanted to pay 5 million for him and 20 for Brewster....tells you how much they rated him

Brewster hasn’t started a game for the last 5 weeks. He can also play off wide.
