Re: Balogun
Italian deadline was 7pm. If we didnt let him go we'd be stuck with him as potentially 3rd choiceCozzie wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 7:49 pm Even if we keep Ndiaye we are down a striker with Beto gone.
Why sign off and then not do this is beyond me.

Re: Balogun
Why am i not surprised in the slightest.
This is what happens when you leave it to the last min.
I came home from work hoping to see everything sorted, and nothing except beto gone.
Here we go again

Maybe they’ve unearthed a serious injury, though.
I smell something else , he hasn't had a preseason, not sure how Norgaard got signed then...

Re: Balogun
Grealish with his 40% proof piss = fine.
Noorgard with half a leg falling off = fine
Why does the doctor decide to be arsed this time?

Wouldn't surprise me though if its Moyes being overly cautious though.
Done this with Sean Davis and Leeroy Fer.
As has been mentioned Noorgard and Broja where both signed knowingly injured.
How serious could it be. He was practically an ever present for Monaco last season.
To be fair, using Broja as an example is a good reason not to sign someone showing to be injured.

Re: Balogun
I mean we spent £7m on Norgaard not £45m, so if there's an issue we need to be very careful about if we proceed or not.weimaranerblues wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 7:55 pm Our medical staff ha ha .

I always remember us trying to buy Forsell from Chelsea and him failing a medical... Was adamant we sign him anyway, thought it was a total disgrace we didn't, and then both his knees imploded and he barely played after.

Re: Balogun
Medical people are duty bound to make the club aware of any issues. I doubt it's just that he's not 100% fit. There must be an issue that could undermine his long term fitness. 45Mill is a big gamble to be ignoring medical advice.
