Why are they idiots? If you're going to have kids it's best to do it sooner rather than later when you have as much time and money as they do.

banduan

They're gonna still have money later though. Unless they Eboue it.

Some more on the Balogun situation in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jan/15/race-to-sign-arsenals-folarin-balogun-intensifies-with-three-clubs-in-pole

Assume that includes Stuttgart, RB Liepzig and Brighton Hove

Just idiots in general, they're perpetual children, often for their entire lives. Just a function of what they do and the environment they're in.

Not sure what the rest of your post is about. Can't make sense of it.

I thought you meant they're idiots for having children so early.

Was responding to bandy's question about why he would marry so young.

Looks like we will also lose promising winger Kido Taylor-Hart for free in summer as he has refused to sign a pro-contract.

Claudius

If Taylor-Hart and Oxlade-Chamberlain were to wed, what would the kids be called?

Oh shit is that true? Because he looked a special talent in those training vids

Absolutely filthy line up for the U23s tonight against Brighton

Azeez puts us one up after 7 mins

lorddulaarsenal

2 nil up after 10 mins - free money the 1.8 on the win. Cash out now at 1.03

goon

3-0 now, 2 goals for Balogun...

Big Willie

Where you lot watching?

goon

We're not, just twitter updates.

If it makes anyone feel better Bell says Balogun is still open to staying and will stay if the club meets his demands.

Hope he does stay and Arteta does all he can to meet those demands, feels like picking Nketiah over Balo is akin to picking Laca over Auba.

goon

I have the same instincts but who knows. He's just completed his hattrick.

I still think he'll stay. We're all guessing but if he genuinely wants to stay and Arsenal really want to keep him they'll find a middle ground eventually, probably in the form of clauses etc.

It's worth remembering his agent reps Saka, Nelson and Netiah too (among others, I'm sure), so it's all a vicious cycle. If he got Saka a great deal, he can use that to get Balogun a better deal and so on and so forth.

Jed

Hat-trick for Balogun. He’s absolutely immense. We need to pull out all the stops to get him to sign.
