BUPA - Folarin Balogun

But I’ve watched him live a lot and he’s always been useless. None of the Boro fans rated him either.

I can’t see this happening at all.
Hes a good player, we won't get him because he is too expensive but he's good.

None of the Boro fans rated a certain loanee that we had that turned out to be a pretty good player so I'm not sure that their views lend particular credence.

He joined them for 6 months as a 20 year old kid, started 9 games, came on as sub 9 times and didn't set the world alight but that Boro side didn't score loads, their top scorer was a centre mid who got 10 goals, not sure what the boro fans expected.

It’s not about the stats really though. I viewed with my own eyes him playing in a style similar to Dennis but without any pace.

The only redeeming thing was that he was young. He may be amazing now somehow but I’d be very underwhelmed if he did come.

Then you are mistaken because he has pace.

Nottingham's dirty secret
When quizzed about him today Fabrizio mentioned a fair few leagues where there was interest- but nothing from the PL or Forest.

Is there a solid source for this one or is it just a suggestion or from Dave down the pub?

Someone connected to a player we are still publicly chasing was my source, she’s not called Dave but it was down the pub.

Balogun holds talks with Arsenal over future​

Talks have taken place between Arsenal and the representatives of striker Folarin Balogun over his future.

Balogun wants regular first team football after his successful loan spell at Reims last season and it’s thought he wants to make a permanent move away from north London.

One source has told Sky Sports News the Gunners' valuation is £50m for a player who still has two years left on his contract.

Appears that Arteta can’t make his mind up on who he wants to sell, Nketiah is now talked about as being available when quite recently he was being retained.

If he's available for a reasonable price, I'd like to see us throw our hat in the ring for Nketiah. 9 goals in all competitions this season for someone who wasn't a regular starter is a decent return. Still only 24 too.

Sauce salad?
You'd imagine the Nketiah thing might link to the Rice transfer - weren't West Han in fir him last year? They'll have some decent money to invest after selling Rice (and using public money to build their stadium!).

Always been a bit underwhelmed when I’ve watched him play, kind of similar to the lad from Leicester we’re linked with.
