Right back options

[micky_blue]

Akanji, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol
That’s the back four I want to see when they’re back.
Walker, Ake and Simpson-Pusey as backup.
Lewis in midfield.

Problem with that back 4 is that always one is injured usually John Stones

True, and when you go into a game as we did yesterday with the best holding midfielder in the world and 4 centre backs out injured, you’re on a hiding to nothing.

 

[its a Barm]

we defo need another right back option

 

[bluetonium]

Have a funny feeling that we may get another centre back rather than right back.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Frimpong got a buy back clause?

I think the same, Akanji becomes a RB option , then we need a pacey young CB

 

[Cobra]

Frimpong got a buy back clause?

If he did it would be for Celtic, not us!

Van der Ven from Spurs, he’s lightning fast.

 

[richards30]

Akanji at RB surely if him and Stones get fit in the next two weeks?

 

[VOOMER]

Frimpong got a buy back clause?

Not sure, but he's only 23 and rapid doesn't do him justice then Davies on the left

I thought this as well. But that's literally all I know about him. No idea if he's actually good at defending. And it involves dealing with Daniel Levy.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

What's happened to the kid at Everton now the hype has died down? Still any good?

 

[Blue Bogey]

Frimpong got a buy back clause?

Can Frimpong defend?

Frimpong may help with goals, but not sure with his current play style he would help our defensive issues. Let’s leave attackers to score goals and get defenders who can defend.

The fact he was in City’s academy is a plus, but it ends there.

A lot of modern day full backs can't defend

TAA is heralded as a generational talent and can't

Cancelo was great at times for us but was poor defensively.

If we signed a player like Frimpong a wingback how would you propose we set up defensively/formation?

He could play high and wide like Walker did for a lot of last season, with Akanji Dias and Gvardiol operating as a back three

Would you assume we would have a left sided equivalent, or we only do this on the right side?

Only to me Gvardiol in this formation would be a LCB and assume you were thinking Akanji would be the RCB?

you drop the right winger for a 10? let the 8 create the box mid again as we did with Gvardiol/Foden combo end of last season

We know Levy. He'll never sell to what he sees as a direct rival (we're not, we're out of his league, but that's by the by).

Yeah its just a thought
