By sohois Go To PostAmrabat would be pretty mediocre for any top club, he's a classic tournament signing.This is probably true but they need bodies and I could see him impressing.
Now it's time to sell Edu

For £25m he's a great back-up to Case. But more importantly, a colossal upgrade on anyone else we have.
Lol, I scored 4 goals in this Pro Clubs match in FIFA last night.. the first 3 came immediately after the other team scored to go ahead. My buddies and I were dying. I legitimately was crying tears from laughing after the third one. Fun video. Game ended 4-3 with no goals in the second half surprisingly.

You're not selling a player under bail conditions.

Athletic ran a piece on Kane/Osimhen alternatives and basically came to the conclusion Balogun’s the next big ting. Arsenal would be silly to sell and keep Nketiah.
Not the first time I've seen Arsenal fans on here say they should bin off Balogun. Utterly fucking bizarre.
By n8 dogg Go To PostAthletic ran a piece on Kane/Osimhen alternatives and basically came to the conclusion Balogun’s the next big ting. Arsenal would be silly to sell and keep Nketiah.I don't know if I fully believe Balogun is going to keep up his level from last season, but it is pretty thrilling that he opted for the US. I am sure some of it is because he knows Kane has another 4-5 years or so of being the undisputed #1 for England, but he could have waited his turn and still had some good years of maybe being the guy.

I read that article, that's not really the conclusion they made.
They were looking at stats relating to different aspects of both Kane & Osimhen's game and came to the conclusion that, statistically, Balogun was very similar in style to both of them. They weren't really trying to make out he's the next superstar striker.

if he is similar to kane and osimhen he is the next big ting #fax
Point they were making is, strikers of his profile will go for a lot the second they do something substantial; pick him up now.
By n8 dogg Go To PostAthletic ran a piece on Kane/Osimhen alternatives and basically came to the conclusion Balogun’s the next big ting. Arsenal would be silly to sell and keep Nketiah.I would rather keep him than Nketiah but he wants regular first team minutes and I don't see a realistic scenario where that happens considering we have 2 senior strikers (Jesus, Trossard), and a guy who did the job last season (Eddie). He would be riding the bench and starting cup games which he doesn't want to do, he also said he won't go on loan again.
By Laboured Go To PostNot the first time I've seen Arsenal fans on here say they should bin off Balogun. Utterly fucking bizarre.1) He wants starter time - whether he legit wants to start over Jesus or just wants Eddies time is unclear. Either way, earn it? I'd like to keep him but if he wants guaranteed time we might not be able to give him that right away.
2) His all around play isnt that great. And the types of goals he scores are actually quite limited - arguably more so than Eddie.
3) He did score a lot of goals, but a lot of them were penalties and frankly Lacazette was golden boot in the same season.
If we can't come to an agreement with what he wants then it's fine to sell him. Id like an American star at Arsenal but if needs for both don't overlap what can you do.
By Laboured Go To PostScum, I hereby put you on notice that no one is bringing you Bastoni.
Balogun has definitely been super impressive stats-wise in Ligue 1, but I'm not too surprised that hasn't swung Arsenal into keeping him. Ligue 1 seems to have like 3-4 young strikers who look great in the #models every season, and then none of them ever go onto much.
Just slap a buyback or a chunky sell-on and take the money for elsewhere makes sense

By Laboured Go To PostFor £25m he's a great back-up to Case. But more importantly, a colossal upgrade on anyone else we have.Indeed. If we are selling Fred and getting Amrabat then we will have Casemiro/Amrabat for the 6 position, and Mount/Eriksen for the 8. That would be a huge upgrade on the Fred/McTominay/Pogba/Matic of two seasons ago.
Just seeing Liverpool signed Szoboszlai as well. Good signings for them so far this summer. Leipzig are getting picked apart but they will reload.
By Laboured Go To PostESR just missed two sitters but we got a pen.that's what you get for being british, m9
Edit: and missed lol
By Cleff Go To PostKane really, really shouldn't sign that contract.He'd have to be really dumb.
Nice to see Harwood-Bellis captaining the team. Palmer got the assist as well I see. Hopefully another clean sheet for Trafford.
Palmer to Brighton on loan was mentioned the other day. Hopefully if not then another top half team takes him for a season. He just needs regular time. Played a decent chunk this year but couldn’t quite get going. All the talent in the world though.
Doing our bit for world peace imho
Good achievement. Will take a lot to beat Spain but lads have done well.

Lee coached in City's academy for a season. He was highly regarded when there and it was considered a blow when he left. Clearly good at working with kids.
