I think you have a very valid point during these cash strapped times, probably installment deals.

Also when it's made known that we are looking to get rid of them, clubs will try and get them on the cheap.

Florin Balogun is yet to commit to Arsenal and his value will be coming down from the £15m originally mentioned as he'll soon be out of contract.
I can imagine his signing be another 'Tariq Lamptey' deal for some lucky club.
In other news, I read in The Athletic that Josh King is wanting £120K a week wages from whoever he signs for.
Which provides a little perspective for anyone who says we should just sign him because he's available on a 'Free'.

If he can’t get game time in that side, I’d say it’s safe to say we dodged a bullet!

I agree with this.
We have Tau and Welbeck who can play a similar game to Dia, in addition, we could have Izquierdo or Andone pushing for a forward role too.
If we finally sign a striker, I suspect he’ll be more like McBurnie than Dia. Maybe the goal-a-game Burnsized Onuachu?

See the match?
How good is Balogun? Can’t seem to get a straight answer from Arsenal fans.
We were linked with him before.
Pretty sure I saw him play against our U23s and he looked like he was good at finding space. That’s all I remember.

Its hard to judge by goals alone, but at U23 level he's scored 15 goals in 2335 minutes.
Aaron Connolly scored 21 in 2327 minutes.
If he's leaving Arsenal looking for guaranteed 1st team football, then I'd suggest he's not what we need.
To push us to the next level we need the finished article.

I think you might be surprised.Lol. Two hopes and one of them is Bob.
3 year contract at £120k p/w (£18.7m) + £5m signing on fee = £23.7m
3 year contract at £60k p/w (£9.3m) + £2m signing on fee + £15m transfer fee = £26.3m
Obviously rough figures without the parasite agents fees, but don't be surprised how much dough players can wrangle when there is no transfer fee involved!

I agree we’ll likely end up waiting to the summer, but disagree about Tau/Welbeck. Dia is a big, strong, fast striker, in the Lukaku mode. Tau is a small, fast second striker and Welbeck is not an out and out striker either (in my opinion) a his game is more about guile. A Dia/Edouard type is exactly what we need for the others to play off.
