Anyone knows what's going on with auba?
23 Jan 2021 23:04:24
Nope but it seems like it's going to be a while whatever it is. Doesn't sound great but hopefully everything is okay. Maybe it's time to let Balogun play step up in the first team 👀.

Ffs glen get a room with Balogun! He does not want to play for arsenal his agent has turned his head with dollar signs, get over it.
24 Jan 2021 09:09:55
To be fair 337 multiple reliable journalist have said he wants to stay.
24 Jan 2021 09:17:10
Saying his mother passed away.
24 Jan 2021 12:03:31
337, wrong. His agent wants him to leave, he wants to stay. He's class and he deserves his moment over Eddie end of story. If he leaves it's another huge mistake. So thanks but no thanks 👍🏻.

If he wants to stay then I suggest Balogan needs a new agent! On what earth should he be picked ahead of Nketiah? He scores a goal and plays well just makes it easier for his agent to get the price up elsewhere. Unless he signs a new contract with us he should never get near the first xi again.

In fairness, Nketiah has not exactly set the world alight recently. Regardless of the position with Balogun's contract, whether he plays or not ought to depend on his ability to make a difference. It hardly needs pointing out that Nketiah, as well as Willian, Pepe and a few others, are at best making no difference at all.

Thank you EG I’m glad someone else see’s that the club is bigger than the players especially an unproven kid!
If people need reminding how it should be read the story about when wrighty signed from palace
Basically he wanted to play for arsenal, his agent told him they needed to meet to sort out wage demands etc, wrighty told his agent “ I don’t care how much, just do the deal” then went out and bought his mum a colour TV.

Just read that Balogan is 5th in line, behind Auba, Laca, Nketiah and Martinelli. If he signs the article says he will go out on loan, apparently that's the pathway the club has for him. Not sure if its true or not.

That would be the perfect pathway I reckon sally, if he really really wants to stay his agent should listen to him and negotiate the best deal possible and he should sign it, unfortunately these young players are sometimes manipulated by agents to get the most money over happiness ( not saying his agent is doing this of course) 😜.

I wouldn't play him unless he signed a new contract, end of.
Why put him in the shop window so he and his agent can get a better deal at another club?
Why put any more effort into developing a player whos leaving?
