Re: Balogun (Deal off)
Ball was late coming over flight over,
had he got on the scheduled flight and Monaco had been more forthcoming Everton might have solved the issues beforehand it would seem.
But it asks the question; why did he pull out after midnight.

Is this from an article?CorkyOnTour wrote: Wed Sep 02, 2026 9:35 am "The player was late for his flight over, and Monaco were slack providing the appropriate medical records.…
had he got on the scheduled flight in the morning and Monaco had been more forthcoming Everton could have identified and rectified the situation much earlier in the day."

Re: Balogun (Deal off)
AND there it is...not our fault....said it in an earlier post they'd say that.....
missed his flight?? we had all summer to sort someone out if rqd....However they knew beto was in italy and about to be having a medical... most of the day...they knew Ndiaye was in the same situation at City.....so why not act prompter? would be my question...
monaco failed to provide his medical forms......usually we gate those BEFORE everything starts to happen as its probably the most important part of a transfer...without them the move doesn't start to happen...
LAME...VERY LAME...

Re: Balogun (Deal off)
Even if we were waiting for Ndiaye, common sense says you can fly your medical staff out and make sure everything is ok 2 days ago.
If it doesnt come off, no real loss. If it does, it saves all this nonsense.
We're talking levels of planning a project manager straight out of having their PMP signed-off would know. Never mind the CEO, the head of Ops (Johnathan Williams?) or head of trading (Nick Williams?) of an organisation of this size.

Re: Balogun (Deal off)
Being late to his flight was a massive red flag I'd say - seems he wasn't sold on the move to begin with!

Everything that happened could have been avoided if they hadn’t left everything until the last minute. It’s inexcusable

Re: Balogun (Deal off)
I get the feeling he was being forced to leave by Monaco rather than wanting to join

Re: Balogun (Deal off)
I just saw someone mentioning it in the thread... no idea if it's true, BUT if he did, then that should have been a big old red flag to the recruitment team.

Don’t see why any of that matters? It’s called getting behind your team COYB4evablu wrote: Wed Sep 02, 2026 10:09 am AND there it is...not our fault....said it in an earlier post they'd say that.....

Player was late for his flight which was tracked and landed on time is superb.
Get these fucking grifters out of my club.
