Anyone knew who he was before he chose to play for the US? After he did that I just don’t stop hearing people hype this dude up.

For 30-35m he has to be the real deal and Arsenal wouldn’t be letting him go. Just not a player we should risk our whole transfer budget on.

22 years old with 40million transfer fee. Its potential to become 100 million player.

Balogun and Thuram Will be interesting combo.

You can't get a striker who is the 'real deal' for 30-35 million nowadays. Kane with one year contract left is the real deal and he'll most likely cost over 100 million.

We're also not in a financial state to do that. The way I see it is that we'll either go for a younger player with potential (Balogun) or we go for an older experienced option that's in the 20 million range that has CL experience (Morata, Taremi?)

Yes you can. Montpellier want 30 million for Elye Wahi.

I saw a lot of FIF members who cried here for Kolo Muani. Well ,we missed that train long time ago. We have still an oportunity to catch another train. Otherwise one of those EPL teams will get him sooner or later. And some of us will be cry for Wahi as what they did for Kolo Muani.

He's only worth that much because he's carrying a huge English and American tax. Otherwise, he's worth 20m max. Even at 20m, he'd still be a bit overpriced, he's nowhere close to Lautaro or Julian's level at his age.

This Balogun guy does not look very impressive. And I wonder if he's really that good and with big potential why Arteta does not want him?

It is interesting because they could use a better back up for Jesus than Nketiah. And if Balogun is so highly rated you would think he might even challenge Jesus.

Just read in the Daily Mirror that its appears to be a " play me or trade me" situation. Balogun doesn't want to go on loan again. Kinda up to Areta it appears to what happens next with him.

I was accused that I recommended Balogun without watching a single game of him, but from his "vs..." YouTube videos, we can see the traits of Oshimen and Leao's pace and physicallity. Both of them are destroying seria A currently. Balogun is a risk, but it's better risk than Morata or Zapata.

Fine? That's more than fine if you ask me. Better line up than last season (sorry Džeko, you were great, but you couldn't play on this level consistently anymore)

I'd rather have Dybala than Thuram, but other than that, this would strike fear in any team.

And we do not have time to waste it. In a month the league already starts so we have to get the squad together asap. At least Thuram and Frattesi are already here, Bisseck won't start so he doesn't matter that much 😂
