Jeremie Frimpong

It's now or never for us getting Frimpong, if he does get join us next summer then there will be major tactical changes, if not then we will play the same as before but with slight tweaking from Pep.

For the money involved and that young hungry option it’s a no brainer imo mate. Dani Alves wasn’t the greatest defender but look what he brought to Barca in an attacking sense?

Pep must play him in his preferred position if he join us or Frimpong will be just another Angelino.

Alonso playing his strength hence one of the reason why they dominated the Bundesliga.

Ive changed my mind on this.

I think we should get Olise instead.

I dont care for the fullbacks wide anymore, a good winger is just better any day.

Look how much we rely on Doku, because Grealish and Bernie cant do that, the players know this and have been just hoping Doku does something.

So replace Walker with another Akanji type player, and buy Savio and Olise.

Get wingers, not fullbacks. We knew this last season, but deviated too much imo.

Agree with this. The biggest priorities in the summer for me is bringing in another central midfielder that can play the 6 and the 8 (Bruno G) and bringing in another wide forward player.

Grealish has been here 3 seasons and we have only got about 4-5 good months out of him. I really like him as a person, but we have to demand more from our forward players. It seems as though he's reached the top of the mountain by winning the treble and now he's content with not pushing on even more.

Bernardo looks likely to leave, Foden is destined to move to the middle of midfield permanently so we really need another quality wide player.

Olise or Kvaratskelia would be ideal.

He's not a right back. He's never seen right back at Leverkusen

Last time I saw him play live was in youth cup final v Liverpool

He played 1st half as left back and 2nd half as right winger

Very good in both positions, I was surprised we let him leave in the 1st place

Our current team with Frimpong in would be great. Bernado playing out wide but allowing him to overlap and then move/cover centrally.

There is an argument if we sign Frimpong we don’t then need a winger.

He is low risk
If it doesn’t work out we can make our money back

He was during most of his first season at Leverkusen, as well as his time at Celtic and the majority of his youth career. Weird and incorrect to say he's "not a right back" or has never played there, just because he plays more advanced under Alonso.

I'm not saying we'd bring him in as a Walker replacement, and he's obviously better going forward than sitting back, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility that a lad who is still pretty young, is clearly versatile, and has spent several years of his life playing RB or RWB couldn't be trained by the world's best manager to play there again.

And factor in he has world class CBs next to him and the best CDM in the world. He’ll be fine at right back. Might have a few tough games but if he has the correct attitude to listen to pep and adjust he’ll be great for us.

Walker is great defensively because of his pace and his general IQ. I know he’s struggled recently but I mean in terms of his overall time at City, he’s been world class and we couldn’t have done what we’ve done without him in my opinion.

Also Cancelo. Was great going forward and really made an impact but he was shite defensively and a arsehole who then got shipped off.

Frimpong would be fine at City.

I worry that he is going to be brilliant going forward but with a defensive skill of the likes of Sergio Gomez or Rico Lewis. Both are great at a lot of things, just not defending. Ideally, we should sign a right-back capable of defending, but time will tell what we want in the transfer market.

Don't really think we'll sign any fullback this year, unless it's Kimmich. I'm expecting our back 4 to be pretty much the same as this year.
