You didn't answer the question.
Which of them has looked better in pre-season?
You seem to think I have an agenda for saying it's Nketiah and Balogun looked off the pace today - despite the fact I actually praised him for his good finish earlier in pre-season.
So, who do you think has been better in pre-season? Nketiah or Balogun?
Neither did you.
My point is Balogun has hardly any game time, not a surprise he’s rusty.
You can’t compare them.
What I will say is I think Nketiah isn’t very good, he’s had enough game time.
I'll answer for you.
Nketiah had a far better preseason and looked sharp. Balogun had one moment but looked pretty poor.
They both got game time in pre-season and were both coming into a new season.
I have lost trust in Nketiah to be able to step up, so my view is we should sell him.
However, that does not change the fact that Balogun looks way way off the pace at this juncture.
Certainly if Nketiah stays, he'll get the nod as a backup to the main front players.
