I agree (although Watkins went for £28m I think?) it’s just that if Delap comes and does it, he won’t just be any normal Championship striker.
He’ll be a 19/20 year old English striker on the books of Man City. There’s no guarantees though.
Balogun was highly rated and didn’t set the division on fire. Although 3 goals and 3 assists in 900 minutes isn’t that bad at all, it does mean nobody is going to pay £40,000 a week to loan him again, like it was rumoured Boro did. Arsenal will need to let him out for much less if they want him to get games.
