Gabigol had football skills too. He had a great goal scoring record for a very young player in an inferior league. I am not saying balogun can't play - i am saying his skills aren't likely to be what we need.There's one thing very wrong with such approach, you can't sell a player without football skills for shit. Age doesn't matter if he isn't good.
We need quality first and foremost, then the opportunities for a sale will happen naturally. Just like when people were freak out because we were signing Lukaku for the first time, they worried that he wouldn't have any resale value. We sold him 2 years later for 115m. Imagine what would have happened if had gone with younger options for the sake of resale e.g. Moussa Dembele, Luka Jovic...
Again, please read carefully what I said. I am saying he is a massive risk and from what all of us have seen, he doesnt have the skillset that we are looking for in our forward lineup. And yet - a faction of the inter brass really want him. Why?
You guys act like we have never taken a risk on a young player that doesnt exactly suit our lineup - or that any of those risks haven't massively failed at times.
dalbert, joao mario, lazaro, gabigol were all players that had some skills and a good season or 2 and were young and yet we couldn't re-sell them.
