Jeremie Frimpong (RB/RWB/RM) Bayer Leverkusen

Ok, PA is reporting this and I’d say they’re fairly reliable - all the major outlets seem to have picked up on this as well, so seems reasonable to give it its own thread.

Not least so @Nikola doesn’t get the chance to open one :face_blowing_a_kiss:

Well, if he could only leave in July 2024, that’s us buggered.

And all that coming from an average position on the pitch closer (or almost equal) to Salah than Trent.

:joy:

Could he change his haircut? Too many flops with this one.

Very good player, he’d be the ideal replacement for me (likewise with Kerkez on the other side), both fit the profile in terms of age and value. Both have energy and pace in abundance and both like to maintain the width and get the ball across goal., which is what we’ve sorely lacked in our game these past few years & I also think both would settle in fairly quickly given the players (or even senior members of staff) we have that they’re familiar with.

If we could sign him, he could be a perfect fit for us. I’ve seen him a fair bit in the Bundesliga and he could be a potential replacement for either Salah or Trent. He’s the right age and may even count as home grown because of the time he spent at City (can anyone confirm?)

I suspect that he won’t come cheap.

This seems to suggest he would count as homegrown, yes:

I’ve only just read the rest of that tweet lol, at least it does also suggest he’s more than capable of playing in a back four…

I would say yes please. Agree him and Kerkez would be a step up at full back.

I just like the idea of a player having utility. If we have injuries we can shuffle them around and make best use of who we have available.

From what I’ve read about his suitability for Slot’s system, you might wish that I had opened this thread…

Two questions:

  1. Would he count as homegrown?
  2. Is PA (Press Association) reliable?

I know I sometimes give him a hard time, but I quite like @The-AllMightyReds .

Yes, he posts a load of rubbish but it is often amusing (even if not deliberately so), and he is never malicious or rude.

  1. Yes
  2. I don’t think they’re ITK here. Regurg or info.

Rudest people on TAN:

1, Cynnie
2, Dutch (retired)
3, That Australian bloke who was always going on about wanking.

@Nikola PA is like Reuters, a news agency that generates a lot of the news that then gets covered by the major newspapers and outlets. While I’ve no idea of their links to the club (if any), they’re not the sort to make stuff up for clicks.

You may need to narrow it down somewhat… there are millions of them
