Who do you WANT us to sign?

Well, let’s look at the data then cheesey:

He’s been dribbled past 57 times in the last 4 seasons. Trent has been dribbled past 55 times this season.

The last season he played as an attacking right back:

In 22/23 he had:

- 56% ground duels won (in the 78th percentile for fullbacks)
- dribbled past 0.7 times per game (also 78th percentile)
- 2.8 dribbles per game (98th percentile)
- 0.23 xAssists per game (90th percentile)
- 0.25 xG per game (94th percentile)

This defender that can’t defend narrative is a poor one when it comes to him, but it must be true cause you saw it once.
I've seen him more than once.
Anyway, I'm mainly against the signing because of the price. I think we have more pressing issues in the team.
Ideally we'd make a Kromkamp, Tsimikas type signing for like £15 mill and use the remaining resources to replace Nunez, get a CB, get LB, get an attacking mid and maybe a left winger if Diaz leaves.
Honestly, I'm surprised there's so few options. Right back is arguably the easiest position to fill.
You can put a midfielder there and be fine.

30 mill for that type of player, age and HG is nothing.
 
These are the parts that worry me about Frimpong.

Comparing his defensive stats to Trent's is a bit misleading, as he plays RWB in the midfield four, with three central defenders covering for him at the back. We might as well compare his defensive stats to Salah.

He might be a Danny Alves level talent in which case we do what it takes to accommodate his style of play. It would be funny if Alonso took him to Madrid and made him a starter.
I don't think Real Madrid managers have a choice in selecting players or have any say in transfers, I think that level of stuff is only done at board/president level and who they think will make them great or who they think makes them have star studded status in that position.
 
How about his height? He's about the same height as Elliott. One less defender in the box for us on corners then.
