Balogun (Deal off)

[superpull]

Just because I'm feeling for Gash, thought I'd give it a new topic instead of plonking it in the transfer thread




What we thinking? Early-naughties phantom bid to appease us morons?

[Free Agent]

Yup - if it looks like a phantom, smells like a phantom, probably is a phantom

[Gash]

Has Trump made any phone calls to TFG?

[blueToffee]

Sounds like an attempt to bring the Richarlison cost down.

That said, think he’d be an interesting option. Decent pace and strength should mean he could do ok in the PL.

[Gash]

This one seems to have gathered a bit of pace while we've been off air.

[Audrey Horne]

Is he good?

[TheRam]

Very happy with this as a replacement for Beto.

If we get him and Richarlison then I have not got a clue what the plan is.

[MayorFarnham]

Is he good?

Not 40 million good

[Goaljira]

Not 40 million good

I thought it was £18m? Which tbh made no sense, but I was onboard with it.

[Cozzie]

Not sure how he translates to the prem but he's certainly an upgrade on Beto.

[blueToffee]

Can’t imagine we do both this and Richarlison. Sounds from some reports Richarlison wasn’t happy with our initial offer, so we’re maybe having this as the backup plan?

Honestly though, it’s more of a risk to the degree he’s not played PL football…but it feels the more interesting deal to me. He has decent attributes and even an ok ish season and we’d get a decent return if it really didn’t work.

I don't mind Richarlison coming back necessarily, but at the price quoted I'd 1000% be going for Balogun instead.

Younger, seems a good player, better value for money.

[Bluedylan1]

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.

[Bumble]

As long as we rinse someone for the Ndiaye money and not let Spurs have him on the cheap then I'm a fan of this.

Obvious upgrade on Beto and arguably better value than Richy.
