If Balogun could learn to play wide then we could keep both with Balogun taking Nelson's spot.
Martinelli/Trossard - Jesus/Nketiah - Saka/Balogun

Great point I would sell Reiss in a heartbeat

I really wanted Reiss to succeed but I think his time may be up.

Wishful at best imo. He’s not a winger, just like Nketiah he should be central. One of them two stays and I’d be amazed if it’s not Eddie. Loaning Balogun to a lower table PL side would be ideal for us.

I remember AM folks wanted 40m for AMN. Never gonna happen. I would be happy with +30-35m to be honest.

Jesus played mostly wide in his latter years for City, That'd be my solution albeit an unpopular one.
Sadly I think the reality is it'll be impossible to keep all three happy. Maybe we could get next season out of them but eventually one will push to move.

Why so serieuse?
Sell whichever one of Nketiah/Balogun that gets the highest bid. Put the cash towards a Partey replacement.

The absolute worst scenario would be bringing him back to Arsenal next year, both him and Eddie see little game time and we tank both their values. It’s reasons like this why we are so bad at selling players. Another loan is the best option. If not then sell either him or Eddie while they’re hot and in demand.

People hoping to get 40-50 Mill from AC Milan who were just outbid by Bournemouth. Can't make this up.
Serie A clubs are skint anyways.

Surprised a whole host of clubs haven’t been linked yet. If Balogun had these sort of numbers against some dusted labourers in the Ukrainian league then I’m sure there would be 80 or 100M figures being thrown around.
Country: Scotland
If Balogun is performing as well as reported I don't see why we'd sell him.
Saves us having to spend 70m or so on a 2nd choice winger.
Jesus Balogun Saka
Martinelli Eddie Trossard

I’m all for Balogun staying and showing he’s good enough to remain here however there’s a part of me that thinks this is such a good opportunity to pass up on.
Question - Are those 6 or so players enough to help us win the CL next season? Personally I would sell to the highest bidder and add to those funds to go big for Kvaradona or Osimhen - dream scenario.
Country: Scotland
If im right 50m would be a record sale so it is a very good opportunity - if a team were to pay it.
Potentially yes. We've went half a season with effectively Martinelli Jesus and Saka as a front 3. Nketiah took a while to get going and looks decent and we've only just added Trossard. Adding the player who is out scoring Mbappe and Co, at least on paper, is an improvement to an attack that is top of the league. So why couldn't it challenge for the CL?
Country: England
Hmmmm I’m not too sure even though I do agree with parts of what you’re saying. The next player we add to the ranks in those attacking areas should ideally be a star quality profile imo as we need a game changer especially in those big CL games next season which means a decision will have to be made over who will make room for that player. This would be a perfect opportunity for us to flip for 50M+ and significantly upgrade in that area as it coincides with us becoming a lot more attractive by securing CL football + potentially winning the PL.
Also, I think it’s more to do with the balance of the front three you posted. On paper it looks good especially judging by the numbers but is his all round game better than Nketiah’s which has improved recently? Just asking as I have only really watched him a few times this season in Ligue 1 and it wasn’t something that really stood out for me. He seemed a bit more of a Jermaine Defoe type of striker rather than an all rounder.

Only for cash + Leao!Leao swap deal
And for those saying we should cash in, we have two senior strikers right now. If we were to sell him, we would almost certainly have to spend a significant proportion of any fee on a replacement. I would rather give him opportunities here.

Why not ring Brighton for an exchange for Mitoma?
Careful, Andy will wet himself.

In truth @2Smokeyy i don't know enough about his playing style. I just know we went to a lot of effort to retain him and if we were linked to a young forward outscoring Mbappe we'd be excited at the prospect of him feeding off Saka and Ødegaard.
For me we need to spend on midfield so anything saved elsewhere gives more to spend there. Either way its a good position to be in. Jesus gives us flexibility to pursue a striker or winger, Balogun may make that decision easier by staying or giving a substantial fee to pursue other targets.
