If we cannot give him the regular time he wants, I think we should cash in with a buyback clause. He clearly doesn’t want to have a role like Nketiah.

This is giving me Serge Gnabry flashbacks. My unlikely hope is that we can cut down Jesus’ minutes and loan/sell/assuage Nketiah if Balogun is able to maintain the energy he showed last night for a full season.

But really, he probably needs to go, for his sake and ours - if he’s going to be unhappy with a Nketiah+ role in the first team. Continuing to speak publicly like this probably takes 40m+ off the table, so hopefully Edu and Arteta talk to him very soon about the plan so he can get his minutes and we can get our money.

Deserves to not go on loan but idk if we can give him the play time he wants tbh; would like 40-50m for him depending on other clauses.
