LIFE ON LOAN | Folarin Balogun
Рет қаралды 370,903
Жыл бұрынOur on-loan striker has excelled since joining Stade de Reims - and earlier in March, he became the youngest player to score at least 16 Ligue 1 goals in his first season for more than 60 years.
We travelled to Reims recently to catch up with Folarin, find out how he's adjusted to life in France and to reflect on what's been a special campaign to date.

Balo, I know you wont see this, but trust me, every one of us fans are proud of you man. We are proud to say you're one of our own, one of the hale end boys. You're doing so well man, so, so well and I know you'll make it here. Keep going. Your top in Ligue one. Your on the same level as Mbappe this year. MBAPPE. Thats how good you've been and how good you are. We'll see you next season when we are prem holders and you'll be welcomed into the first team with open arms.

@@pradeepgrg8707 why just keep all of them??? Balogun, G.Jesus can play all across the front 3, Nketiah can play on the left as well. Liverpool got Salah, L.Diaz, Gakpo, Núñez and D.Jota. United used to have CR7, Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov, Nani and Welbeck. We used to have Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, Ljungberg, Wiltord and Kanu. I don't see a problem if we have Jesus, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard, Nketiah and Balogun. We have a huge amount of fixtures next season if we want to compete on all fronts, we need to be relentless all the time not just once a week in PL, like we are now ^^ we need players at 100%. As soon as 3-4 offensive players are out injured we're in trouble, it's better to have one more goalscorer, than one to little.

@@sdproductions9660 literally makes no sense to compare their situations. Laca is an experienced international who has already adapted to the French league as well as being the club captain, of course he was always gonna score goals in France. Balo is 21 and had to adapt to a new league playing senior football at a top league for the first time in his career and has almost 20 goals. People questioned if Saliba was ready to play in the Prem and look at him now. Doesn’t mean he’s gonna start every game but he has to at least be in the squad and given a chance to prove himself.

Balogun's, somewhat, unexpected meteoric rise, makes you appreciate the unknown all youngsters go through when they go out on loan, especially, abroad, and how a career will rise or fall based on if you take your chance or not. Balogun not only took his chance, but he ran with it to a place not even he himself could even dream would happen. Talk about exceeding expectations, and I always thought he had the talent to challenge for a spot at Arsenal, but to be among the top goalscorers in France while playing for Reims, is a fairy tale season so far. I'm just happy to see another Hale End boy making us proud and showing the world what he's all about.
@virupakshawalla5734 Жыл бұрын
They gave him 40000 week contract so he is obviously rated but first team in PL title challengers is diff level esp as we need to actually push on. We all hoping he can make it but maybe selling with buyback clause would be solution? Or contract extension and loan with fee to bigger club? They can assess him and Eddie in summer as Jesus obviously still star 9
