With this lad it’s a case of now or never if we wait till Jan he will go to Germany for larger wages and signing on fee that we could compete with.

Makes you wonder why Arsenal are letting him go?

I thought the same.
Has he not been loaned out yet either?
Seems odd to do so well coming through the ranks only to get sold without going out on loan first.
 
If he's rated that highly, why would Arsenal want rid ? Am i missing something here ?

He refuses to sign the contract they've offered. Off abroad for nowt in January, he wants first team minutes and isn't getting those at Arsenal so they say.

Yeah but why are Arsenal not throwing him a half decent bone? Best scoring record in Europe at youth level is pretty impressive and one a top club like the Gunners would surely protect.

Yeah you're right they should drop abamayeung and lacazette
 
I've just watched a highlight reel of his and I've forgotten that lad at Liverpool's name already 😳

In all seriousness thought at 19 is he any better than our Hackford? And if he is why aren't Arsenal giving him a shot?

I understand from people down here he wanted guarantees of first team minutes and he isn't getting close to that there, so refused all contract offers. Kid thinks he's good enough, can't knock his self-belief.

I thought these guys were in their 30's? You would think a very good 19 yr old hot shot would be worth a nice contract with some assurance that he's going on loan with a view to replacing these guys in 3 years time.

They've just given abamayeung a five year deal and even if lacazette leaves he's got martinelli and nkhetia in front of him but nah you're probably right he must be shit

3 year deal for Abam. Martinelli more a wide player, Nketiah fair does.

So this how desperate we are.
Paying millions for a 19 yr old kid who's never played a first team game at any level.
And expecting him to save us from relegation in the PL by scoring the chances we currently can't create.
How has it come to this ?
I've nothing against Folarin as a player , but he's miles away from being our saviour.

I see you've taken these 2 league games very badly!

If we sign this lad, he won't be the only man on the pitch versus 11 opponents.

Also we have strikers at the club that helped us to a half-decent 9th place finish...

Germany don’t pay big wages

They can definitely compete with our wage structure because neither do we and due to the different compo rules when travelling abroad they could offer what we would have to pay as compo to arsenal as a signing on fee. So in a hypothetical situation where there are two deals which represent the same outlay to both clubs the foreign offer would be more player friendly.
 
A highly Incentivised deal would make sense. Money for staying in PL, 10 first team goals etc etc should be doable at these levels.

Just give them five now and five next season.
Don't know if hes the answer but he's next on.the list of targets and that's where we are ,no point crying about the fact the other targets didn't want to come
Its absolutely crucial we stay up this year if we want to be able to compete wage wise so hopefully the players and coaching staff have got a bit more backbone than most of you lot
