✍️ OFFICIAL Folarin Balogun (Out)

[Batman]

It would need to be a much better season in France than last to justify anywhere near 80 mill.

He only scored 15 free play goals in 35 games in a weak league. And didn’t contribute to general play much at all. It’s not that good.

Pepe and Lacazette both did more in Ligue 1 when they were young. And then they both floundered in the EPL to differing degrees.

For all of the above reasons, I think the fee we got is great. People are in dream land thinking we should’ve got significantly more.

Have you seen the market? Utd spent 70 mil on Walmart Haaland after 9 Serie A goals. Notice I said Chelsea. Do you think the guy who spent 220m on Enzo and Caicedo and 80 mil on Mudryk would bat an eye at spending that sort of money on Balogun if he puts up another 20 goal season? Teams are flush with cash and desperate. Monaco will get a lot for him if he has another productive season, regardless of it being justified or not.

A little disappointed we couldn't get more, but that's still decent money (especially for the Edu-era)

Just glad we are selling a player for an actual fee, when we had to loan a player as good as Tierney I had given up on us ever making money again to be honest

You can't compare Balogun and Hojlund. Arteta wanted to sell Balogun to get the fund and Balogun wanted to leave too. The other clubs see this and try to lower the fee. We waited until the last week of the transfer's window, but no one was serious except Monaco. If Balogun stayed here where he could play? ahead of him there is Jesus, Trossard, Eddie, and maybe Havertz

This is really good stuff

Good grief. I was speaking about a sale by Monaco after this season. I wasn't criticizing the fee, I was pointing out that it was good to insert a sell on clause because we will benefit from it in a market where players are going for inflated fees. In fact I've made the same points as you regarding the fee he's fetching this summer earlier in this thread but it is quite clear to everyone with sense that I am referring to the fee Monaco could get for him after this season if he has another good season. Reading comprehension cannot be as tough as some of you make it look.

Wtf - the article makes no mention of a buy back clause??

In the event that he bangs, a buy back clause could be much better than a sell on clause.

F

Fraudano said it's a sell-on clause and not a buyback clause.

Any word yet on the sell on?

Benge saying he heard around 15-20%. Nobody really knows. I'd say the same for the fee. RMC said €45m yesterday and they're more reliable than the guy saying €30m+€10m. There's too much conflicting info around this one.

I guess we'll see but €30M & a hard to obtain €10M bonus is quite a distance from €45M, if it's the former then it's only a mediocre sale (and that's being kind I think).

Brentford
Forrest
Bournemouth
Shef United
Burnley
Luton

Only those 6 has lower sale transfer record than Arsenal in the pl. It’s beyond laughs 35 million is our sale record

There are several teams in the championship who has higher record as well

30m euro is 25.8 million sterling. Guy scores 21 league goals and we get a guaranteed nearly 26 million pounds for him??

Wow man can’t wait till someone comes for best RW in the world Saka and we squeeze them dry for a whole 50 million. Shall we build the Edu statue now in advance?

 

[Mudi]

Let us not jump conclusions here with someone who cannot spell his name correctly. Some are saying different numbers. Why would we not have sold to Inter if they were offering €35m...

I need Orny to come with the numbers.

Also would €30m be okay if there is a sell on clause of 50%?

Run it back Sir Gaspar.

Great thinker of our times. Lucky to have him.

 

[Rasmi]

33-35 million pound for Balogun is more than fair price. I wouldn’t spend that on him given the choice tbh
