Nyoni too. Wonder how they all pieced together
Has a minor injury and they thought it could get worse traveling on tour. Going out on loan to the Championship or Germany.
Good move for him, and us. Very highly rated.

Looks like Frim played RW with Bradley behind him. Seems like the worked well together.
First match of the season someone will say "look at the bench - wow 😁" come January it will be "FFS look at the bench 😭"
Poor Tracey.
Love this content. Hopefully Konate stays.
Hit home again about Jota when they asked the FC question though 🙁

You could’ve stopped after 6 words and you’d have got a like.
interested to hear people’s thoughts, i know a lot are fond of the newest toys. to be honest i think frimpong looks very lightweight but i guess that comes with the speed. he has also looked good preseason.
I think Bradley will initially be our starter. Frimpong will be used as a sub to manage the minutes of both Bradley and Salah, depending on how the game is. Needing a goal bring him on for Bradders. Defending a lead bring him on for Salah.
I tend to agree. Frimpong isn’t used to playing in a back four, and I reckon Slot will bed him in more gradually than Kerkez.
It depends on what we do about the back-up striker and potentially Díaz’s replacement, but if we start the season with only one out-and-out number nine – which I hope we don’t – we’ll need plenty of options to cover those minutes. We might see Salah shifting central and and bring Frimpong on, or Gakpo shifting across with Riu coming on, and so on, but it does give me some concern about the amount of minutes our best players may have to play if we're not killing off games quickly enough. Ideally any Diaz replacement can also cover nine or RW and we can share the workload/Nunez sticks around.
If we factor in some burn out last year then the club likely need to plan to cover at least double whatever Jota's minutes were.

Need to get over those persistent niggling injuries.
A breakfast of Ready Brek over 2 Weetabix each morning has been prescribed by the top sports nutritionist in the land.
Thommo had two steaks a day. Shanks was impressed by his transformation.
Frimpong has played nearly as many games as a RB in a back 4 as he has at RW. 126-138
I think that transition will go quickly and smoothly.
But feels like it’s Bradley’s spot from the start given familiarity and previous performances.
Bit like Quansah last season ... let's hope Conor holds onto it a bit longer than 45 minutes
I've always though he looked great (hence my Trent vs Bradders thread last season) !
I can't see us signing Isak but I can Rodrygo - it would gel with Slot's need for quality and versatility. Covering the whole front line gives us amazing options (and covers Salah's AFCON absence).
Rodrygo and Guehi for a 10/10 window never to be repeated.
