I don't know if he has the discipline.

 

done it once and was fine but i wasn't being totally serious though not keen on any of the obvious alternatives either

 

oh btw i was derided for saying we needed RB cover and yet here we are going in to the 2nd game with zero fit RB's

 

Rob? He's a bit old nowadays

 

desperate times and all that

 

You can't keep buying players 'just in case' though. 2 players for each position should be sufficient with a few utility players who can play several positions seems to be Slot's favoured approach.

 

as i said at that time both backups are injured more often than not so it was always a big risk which has blown up earlier than even i expected .
Typical of our luck though as Frimpong had a really good fitness record at BL

 

I reckon he'd still do a job anyway; quality player in his day, shame injuries ruined him

 

Last time Frimpong missed a club game through injury was 21/22 when missed 11 games in total split between club and country.

Only other injury since then is 2 games for Netherlands in 23/24

So Woukdnt say he was a huge risk

 

personally i would say it is a risk to have just 1 player with 2 known injury prone players covering that position plus CB - though Leoni has since been added

 

Maybe but if Frimpong doesn’t miss any games then it’s a wasted space to have 3 senior right backs, especially as we have no more foreign slots available so who is the English RB that’s we’re going to sign to be 3rd choice?

 

weird is this sounds i'm not a scout nor a PL data analyst so havent got a list of CB/RB to hand .
