Bit confused by this. Happy he gets the game time elsewhere but leaves us a bit short upfront.

So not just a winger and not just a striker..... sort of a utility forward

Ideally someone who's not really a winger, not really striker, likes to play in the hole :think:

Not ready yet whereas Eddie has proved he is.

Good decision.

Weird to turn down PL clubs for Reims ...

Hope we're not falling foul of loaning players to the highest bidding clubs like we used to.

1978 - Folarin Balogun is the first player to score in his first 2 meetings with Reims in Ligue 1 since Jacky Pérignon in July 1978. Acclimatized.

Flo scored the penalty he himself won to make it 3-2 for Reims. Later in the game he set up his teammate for the 4-2.

I read somewhere that Lacazette told him Ligue one will be good for him as he’ll score a lot of goals.

So far Laca is right I guess as Bali is doing well, Ligue one players tend to adapt well to the bpl

Not to mention we have had a good track record sending players to France. No one came back worse. Contrast that to Calum Chambers who was POTY at Fulham but was replaced by Cedric here.

Thierry Henry has praised Folarin Balogun, 21, for his decision to join Reims on loan from Arsenal - the American-born striker has scored five goals in seven appearances for the Ligue 1 side. (Evening Standard)
