Jeremie Frimpong

[Kippaxpete]

He is very quick. Good playing up the wing. Think if deployed in that high providing width role. He’d be very good. At Leipzig he plays more like a winger. I just thought in that system vs Newcastle he’d be well suited perhaps not to the 3-2-4-1. Saw him at Celtic very good offensively but lacks defensively.

That's exactly my concern. Call me old-fashioned but, surely, the first responsibility of a defender is to defend. I'm really not convinced that Frimpong has the suitable attributes to fill that right back role as a regular pick. Yes, great potentially going forward but seriously lacking in defensive qualities. His stats for the past year would appear to bear that out.

Not a RB we should be considering without a system change.

Right back surely?

Right back surely?

Oh bollocks! I meant to say right back! Now corrected.

Best if these kids got off their Xbox/PlayStation, stopped posting pointless stats, which have as much relevance to football as windspeed to a Submarine......watched real football, and see the obvious, which is Rico Lewis is a far better player, and we already have him ;)

Ship has sailed imo.

We want proper defenders in the back 4.

And if we wanted him to be purely a winger, we have Savinho, Bobb, Bernie and even Foden on the RW.

Michael Kayode is the one for me and would be nice for our current set up

+ Rico Lewis would be nice rb pairing for years to come

Rico's had a massive upsurge over the summer, even fitter and stronger and getting better by the game, a special talent, in fact unique.
