Flo Balogun next season

I think he is good, and would not mind seeing him back. Technically very good, just needs experience. Wilder played him less and less as the season went on, so I would be surprised if he was brought back in, especially if the wage contribution reported is correct.

I believe we paid a significant amount of £££ for his time at the club, and believe that that money could probably be put to better use than developing a "project" for Arsenal.
 
Never looked comfortable going in for a challenge, not physically or mentally tough enough. You have to earn it in the Championship, you can't rely on your natural skill and pace like in the u23s.
 
I can’t see him wanting to come back, could be wrong but felt like he had the least amount of starts compared to Connolly, Watmore and Sporar during his time here. Had a couple of stand out moments, if he goes on loan I can see him going to a London club. Think we will look elsewhere
 
Got to get someone who is ready . Think Flo will come good .bring back bamford or Rhys healey definitely not Rhodes .

I think it was difficult to bring in decent signings in January and on paper his looked to be promising.

Easy in hindsight, but I didn't see enough to make me think he'd be back here next season.
 
If you offered me Balogun on loan again, I'd probably say yes, along as he was a squad player.

He shouldn't be ahead of Watmore and even Coburn for that matter. And you could even argue that those two won't be good enough for us if we are serious about promotion.

2 new signings (first team strikers - loan or transfer) plus Watmore & Coburn and I'd be happy. Throw in Balolgun for good measure and I'd be ok with that, but I can't see Arsenal wanting Balogun to go somewhere where he isn't going to be 1st choice.
 
I thought he was pretty poor and i wouldn't be interested at all. Yes he could gradually get better but we need players who hit the ground running.
Looked like he may be a decent finisher, but he just had no apetite to get involved, run the channels, and make something happen.
 
Talented without doubt but more often than not left me underwhelmed. Half hearted performances are a common drawback of loan signings who see themselves as just passing through.
 
his first loan, will probably be better for the experience.

he has the tools, if he comes back to the championship and gets more games, then i think he could improve considerably on this season
 
I imagine he will go out on loan again. I'd say simply not ready for arsenal despite then having no forwards. Fulham were linked a few weeks ago.

I thought he was pretty underwhelming. It just shows the 'step up' even for a very highly rated Premier league 2 player (U23s). I think he had 50 odd goals in 70 games (or more). Yet frankly you watch an U23 game and hardly anyone tackles and its possession based and easy on the eye. A bit different to being marked by Adien Flint or Jake Cooper😂

I'm not sure his 'style' helps. He's pretty laid back so can appear he's not giving his all. Although maybe the Premier league suits him more. He did alright. Yet that's basing it on the forwards with him. So a pretty low bar.

He had one senior goal and was on 40k a week at 20. Whist it's not his fault and fairplay to him. Just shows where top flight football is.
