[Albion] Leon Balogun SIGNS [two-year deal]

[Swansman]

Great move for him but goes to show how small time the SPL is.

Hard to imagine today that Rangers was the richest club in the UK in 1990

They weren't ....They just had good accountants !

Balogun-Goldson

The centre back partnership that could dominate Scottish football for a few years!

What happened to Jamie Murphy? I know he was there and got log term injury...... wonder where hes at

Today the Albion's need for all the centre backs, kicks off in the Monkey Tennis League.

Commentators talking like they've never heard of him. TSK!

Balogun playing really well on his Rangers debut alongside Connor Goldson.

This is Leon's level TBH so pleased for him - won't forget that sweet volley against them up the road

A Goldson - Balogun cb pairing will own that Scottish League.

He’s way above that level which he proved with Wigan last season where his arrival pretty much turned them from relegation fodder to top six form. Rangers are a big club but that division is comparable to Div 1 In The EPL at best. Leon could easily have done well at any Championship side.

They haven't experienced his usual one catastrophic lapse per game up there yet - still, at that level he'll probably get away with it more often than not.

Besides which, even if the standard is no better, it's a much bigger deal playing for Rangers than, say, Doncaster, Gillingham or Lincoln.

 

[Sussexscots]

Shrewd signing for Rangers. I'd have loved him to go to Hibs.

If this podcast is anything to go by, Leon Balogun and Potter aren't top of each other's Christmas card lists - Balogun basically complains as to never being given a fair chance at Brighton, especially during the 2019/20 season
The relevant part of the video is from the 26 minute mark to just over 37 mins

 

[timbha]

That’s football. Fair to say we’ve done alright without him.

 

[elwheelio]

Balogun did OK for us but he was always back up. He's not as solid as Duffy and isn't as good on the ball.

 

[Stat Brother]

That’s football. Fair to say we’ve done alright without him.

As has he without the Albion.

Very interesting. Rates Bissouma highly as well in the segment after, which will comes as a surprise to nobody.

 

[Wozza]

Good guy, but too old for Potter, I think.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

That’s football. Fair to say we’ve done alright without him.

And he's done ok without us too, he is a Premier League winner after all!

 

[Swansman]

As has he without the Albion.

And..?
