    Incorrect actually

    Between Nketiah and Balogun, we are going to get between 60 and 70 mil £ for Hale End products

    Neither are good enough for where we want to be in 2-3 years. You can say that we should’ve kept Balogun and sold Nketiah for this year, but Nketiah wouldn’t have gotten as much and Balogun would lose value as our backup instead of coming off a 20 npg season

    That money will be crucial in going towards a striker that fits the mound what we need. Even if Balogun reaches those levels, we can get him at a 15% discount to market values due to our sell-on clause. More likely tho, that money helps offset the huge money needed for an Oshimen, Ferguson, etc

      Balogun is going to be a star, maybe already is. There was zero reason to keep Eddie over him. I agree about the bench issues but I’d rather have him playing right now over Eddie. Eddie could not score 20 goals in ligue 1. People are saying Kai might start at striker soon enough, who knows if we’ll see it, but it won’t surprise me. Balogun would have definitely played quite a bit already had we sold Eddie and kept him. He’s a natural goalscorer, which we need badly. The sell on stuff is nice, but we won’t be getting him back. We should have at least kept him until January
