Emmanuel Frimpong

Boss · 22nd August 2011, 23:22

I thought he was sensational before the sending off. I was slightly surprised most people were talking about Nasri's performance when this lad clearly outshined him imo.

However with the media hype surrounding Nasri's situation it's understandable.

His technique seemed top notch, I can't agree with Wayne Rooney, he was beating players for fun and his gut bursing runs from deep were Essien like.

His only problem is that he seems like a bit of a nutter but then again, he's young and learning.

EvilChuck · 22nd August 2011, 23:34

Boss, can I ask what your thoughts on him being called 'Frimmy' are?

Grinner · 22nd August 2011, 23:35

One thing I really liked about him was his discipline about his role. He was very careful not to get forward too much and leave us short which is something that Song can be guilty of doing.

His debut was far more encouraging that Song's first 10 games or so. His behaviour was bizarre though. Fronting the bloke for a simple throw-in was really unnecessary. I think he'd struggle with a more mobile midfield though and would be carded as much as Song.

It'll be interesting to watch his progression as he will likely get a bunch of games this season.

...rather that than Frimmer.

The potential now exists for a pairing of Frimpong Song (iddle-I-po)

CnutOfAllCnuts · 22nd August 2011, 23:36

Apart from behaving like a retard on speed, I thought he played well, and clearly is a talented player.

But a mong.

It's a horrible nickname.

I'm sure you're full of much better suggestions Boss, don't be shy!

When he and Song start playing together it will be Frimsong™.

Boss · 22nd August 2011, 23:55

I don't have anything at the moment.

It's the most bizarre name I've had to work with thus far.

edit-I do like Frimsong though when those two are on the pitch together.

Scrumpet · 22nd August 2011, 23:57

Personally I prefer Songpong.

Hence my confusion.

SharkyMcShark · 23rd August 2011, 02:16

I thought he looked very good. You'd hope his recklessness would go with experience in seasons to come.

Dire hair though. If you're going to go for that look at least make it symmetrical for fucks sake.

His attitude is just what Arsenal lack, abit of fight though he did overstep the mark last game.. I'm hoping he can be moulded into that mobile holding mid that England never seem to produce.

Potentially a lot better than Song IMO

KM · 23rd August 2011, 10:30

People are over-rating him horrendously I feel. He did some nice things but also cost his team with his stupid red card, let's see how he performs in three or four matches before making a judgement over it.

I agree and thats having seeing him for a few years now. He is a talent but to say something like his technique is "top notch" is laughable imo

Where have you seen him? His technique is excellent and unquestioned. You aren't going to get anywhere near the midfield unless you have good technique..his ability to curb his emotions during matches is the main problem, and it will be something he'll undoubtedly improve on given time.

Gallas....

Twigginater · 23rd August 2011, 12:35

I wish I knew why people had to post definitive answers on players regarding their technique and talent after seeing them for a few games. People post stuff so they can come back and say "yeah I was right" but it's all just guesswork. He's a young lad, he could go many ways.

KM · 23rd August 2011, 15:12

He just replied this to Wilshere's twitter status

Thought Wenger was naive not to bring him off. It was obvious he'd get sent off. That role is disciple based and that'll come in time. He's been thrown over the deep end due to circumstances which is great for him.

What a response to Jack Wilshere. Haha!

Christofaux · 24th August 2011, 13:17

He's gonnah ave a trial by fire this year, and the only reason why he won't succeed is if Wenger leave's/is given the punt. No other manager would probably sacrifice a season to let a player like him try and develop. They would probably just open the cheque book and fix the position. This is not a stab at other managers, just the fact that he is over enthusiastic which i love. He was one of the better if not the best player on the park for the time he was on.

well to be fair he is born in Ghana, moved to England at a young age but said he feels Ghanaian so i guess it's a fair decision.

Probably because it would be an absolutely absurd thing to do.

You don't need to sacrifce seasons to bring young players through. You'll note that, immediately after winning the league, Fergis is picking Cleverley and Welbeck ahead of Carrick/Berbatov and you can be damn sure he has no intention of sacrificing anything to bring them through.

If Wenger's given the heave, Frimpong could do worse than come to OT. He'd actually win something there too.
