Jeremie Frimpong

[Pubteam Lomas]

I think people have misunderstood what I meant when I said he's not a right back.
He's not generally a right back at Leverkusen.
He plays high up the pitch in more of a wing back role.
I think had we had him recently, playing the role that Walker has played, he'd have been perfect for that system.

I am still very cautious with Frimpong. It could easily turn out another Angelino type of signing.

sounds like Walker is staying from his interviews, doubt we sign a defender outside of a Gomez replacement

Chance missed then at that release clause unfortunately! And he would have counted as homegrown , we got hoodwinked abit with a 3 year contract for Kyle

far better right backs around if we need one later down the line

I just think we’re gonna regret Kyle again next season mate? Don’t get me wrong, been a truly fantastic signing for club but time is time and I’m hoping that Saudi offer comes in and he takes it personally

He was a winger at ours as a youth player, he'd be a great wing back

as long as we get a RW think he's fine in the back line, its if he has to be the wide right output

But he isn’t a Pep defender, we might change how we play a bit but Frimpong is very much a wing back and don’t see us playing like that.
We are fine with Walker Akanji and Lewis. May even end up with Kimmich and he’s much more a Pep fullback than Frimpong is.

Pep is a genius for so many reasons but one is his constant development of tactics. Although I agree it’s a big change from what we’ve seen if he feels we need a different direction going forward he will change it.
