Balogun (Deal off)

[Blueomar]

Balogun would be a great buy if we get him at the right price.

That Cai Jones guy on youtube (who does really great Everton FC analysis) is very high on Balogun to EFC.

[cassius]

Is he good? Genuinely know nothing about him other than the red card not red card

Agree re Cai Jones. A good watch and very informative.

£40m is probably a bit too much, but £18m is also ludicrously low for this type of player.

Anything up to £30m would be a good deal for us .

As an American and avid us national team supporter, I’d be very happy if we sign him. Like Beto, he excels at playing off the last man and making runs in behind, and he similarly gets into good scoring positions on the regular. But he’s much more well rounded overall. Technically sound and can hold the ball up and bring others into play. Obviously not as good in the air but we have Barry for that profile. One knock is that he generally underperforms his XG, though over last six months that has not been the case, so hopefully he’s turned a corner there.

I believe they bought him for close 25.7 with total package being close to 35. He’s since neither really under or over performed, so I think a similarly structured deal would be fair.

[Audrey Horne]

Yeah echo the thoughts of others. Would be happy with this.

Swerve Richy. Balogan is an upgrade on Beto, and a real challenger to Barry for a starting spot.

Good to read this!

Decided im keen. Will bag.

Might be a bit wobbly back to goal v prem defenders.

Hopefully hackers gets practicing his through balls because the man is rapid.

Think it may be the case we have to be patient for 6 months or so, until our midfield can predict his runs.

We have spunked all the Ndiaye money on him and Grealish

38.5 mil quid is quite a lot for a supposedly second striker option.

Feels more like a first choice kinda price for us.

[MayorFarnham]

45M WOW!

I'm not sure this strikes me as a good deal in all honesty

[sam of the south]

Much as I love Richy this one makes much more sense
