Balogun (Deal off)

[Trowel]

Trump and Burnham will have plenty to discuss.

[TheRam]

We’re probably overpaying a bit but I’m having this.

Type of striker we’ve not had for a long time.

[Bluedylan1]

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

Feels more like a first choice kinda price for us.

I think it's two similar level players fighting it out for the position on form.

I think it's two similar level players fighting it out for the position of form.

Which is something we haven’t had for a long time

[Goaljira]

Having someone potentially capable takes some of the pressure off Barry, instead of it being either he performs or we're relying on chaos.

[sam of the south]

Definitely have some pace in the squad with him and Johnson

[MayorFarnham]

Love a pacey forward.

[weimaranerblues]

Off to watch this

[Shogun]

That's a lot of money. I hope he's not crap. Feel better about this than Richy as much as I love the lad

[Cozzie]

Yeah that's quite pricey but you know what, it's hard to tell what's pricey these days the way the market has gone.

[Cereal Killer]

Everton have reached an agreement with Monaco for Folarin Balogun. €45M plus €5m in add-ons and sell-on clause. Negotiations ongoing tonight on personal terms

So they wanted 40 and we managed to negotiate our way to 50?

[Big Nevs Vaz]

As much as I loved Beto and his attitude and character this lad looks like a big improvement.

[Raptor]

Haven't really watched a lot of him in all honesty, but this seems a lot for someone that hasn't done much.
Wasnt in favour of the Richy move, but that would've made more sense, then spend the excess on getting a decent right back, rather than Tete.
Nothing really seems thought through or planned, feels a bit like Brewsters million and we need to get rid of the Ndiaye money within 24 hours on anything otherwise we fail

[Bluedylan1]

Came through at Arsenal didn't he? Been linked with a move to the Prem for years.

13 goals in 30 games for Monaco last season. 3 goals in 4 games at the WC. We also have a decent tradition of American forwards, and it certainly won't hurt our commercial growth in the US.

[Bumble]

He’ll cost the sum total of not far off what we brought in for Beto and Tim.

So if he can control a football he’s an improvement for a start.
