Folarin Balogun: Balogone

[TromsoGooner]

Ornstein said Arteta convince him to stay so of course Arteta played big part in this. Bolagun always wanted to stay to fair the agent played dirty money game

Of course Ornstein will say that, him and the rest of The Athletic only gives him good press.

Apparently Trilly run the account.

I've asked this question before and got the same answer but assumed at the time that I was having my leg pulled. Now I'll assume it is true.

LTArsenal= London Trilly Arsenal

I believe you. It just strikes me as quite .

And you only give him bad "press". A bit of balance would be jolly good.

 

[AberGooner]

Great bit of news this, didn't expect him to stay at all having barely featured. Would be nice if we could see him get some minutes between now and the end of the season.

 

[GunnerShy]

Give him 40k a week, waaaay to high for his experience, he doesn't live up to the hype, happens very often, no one will want him as he's too expensive for his ability and he leaves on a free anyway after 5 years.

Also don't forget this kid is still an academy player, wait till others are in a similar position, they'll be wanting the same kind of money.

I doubt he'll be earning that much anyway but can't be dishing out 40k a week salaries on potential. This should of been sorted last year anyway.

It's definitely preferable to losing him on a free. Hard not to get 6m in three years for a half decent HG striker.

More broadly, 40k a year for a squad player at our club probably isn't miles off.

 

[Iceman10]

This is good news, and suggests some sense is prevailing regarding overall freshening up of the squad and cashing in on Laca this summer.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Welcome to the arsenal

Exactly.

Balogun is an Arsenal supporter, not an Arteta worshipper. Guarantee he is staying as he backs himself.

But he is not squad player. He is u23 player

 

[Get These Hands]

Hope he's as good as people are say he is.

 

[GunnerShy]

Ok mate. But he's reported to be signing a 4 year contract. If he's playing U23s in three years time I'll take your point...

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Great stuff, now there is absolutely no need for that French midget stripper to still be here next season

 

[Rasmi]

I’m not against it. But if you gonna give him new deal then promote him atleast and give him minutes. We have nothing to play for in the league

 

[Rasmi]

1 year deal on his 160k contract. He ain’t walking out on that money at his age

 

[GunnerShy]

I’m not against it. But if you gonna give him new deal then promote him atleast and give him minutes. We have nothing to play for in the league

I hope they do, and Martinelli. It's clear he will either be in our squad or on loan at another good club next season. He won't be rotting in the U23s

 

[The_Playmaker]

Do all clubs have this kind of PR machine? Always bringing out good news after an awful performance.

 

[yorch44]

Now what we need is a good manager. I mean, we have a good young squad with a lot of potential.

Wingers: ESR, Saka, Pepe, Nelson (yes with a good manager he could be a good addition and has potential.

CF: Balogun and Martinelli.

CAM: Ødegaard if he stays.

I think a good manager could do wonders with those young talented players. I would put the money in a WC midfielder to partner with Partey, in Hakimi and Buendía. Get back Saliva and play him next to Gabriel. Give AMN a chance in the midfield in a loan so he can fight for a place if Partey flops.

 

[LG10]

This means laca is done, thank god. I wasn’t as impressed by him at first (my judgment was clouded by his agent holding the club ransom), but I’ve watched lots of clips on him and he’s gonna be a work beater. We’re set with him and martinelli.
