As for Frimpong, I’ve always liked the idea of him particularly the adaptability he brings. I think we do need a dynamic player to replace Trent, and while we’re undoubtedly losing a huge creative presence, Frimpong’s speed and directness could help to offset that. He also offers genuine width down the right flank, which has been lacking for quite some time. That said, I haven’t seen enough of him to know how it will work in practice, or how much coaching he’ll need to deliver what we require from that role. But what we can say is: a) it’s an exciting signing, and b) on paper, it ticks a lot of boxes. He’s well-priced, at a good age, has homegrown status, isn't a dickhead, Dutch links, and is a big admirer of the club. Hopefully, it all translates from paper to pitch.
I think many will he surprised at just quite how rapid he is. If he's not the fastest player in the league then he'll be a very close second.
