Can they make it? Chuks has been a regular for Crewe lately. He's been the focal point of all their attacks and is capable of Defense splitting passes. However he's been known to be a bit lazy ala Arshavin...initially! Lately he's known to have developed more of a healthy work ethic and hussles the opposition. He has a composed and languid style much like diaby tbh but with more vision. Initially crewe fans felt he doesn't have what it takes to make the grade but now they seemed to have changed their tune as he's progressed recently. Frimpong had a steady game for charlton who were impressed with his tracking back and tackling. He should glimpses of his passing range but wasn't spectacular though most chrarlton fans seemed to range his perforce out of ten between a 7 and a 8. Came off with a cramp but seems fine. Chrarlton fans also,said the tea, seemed to have lacked defensive stability once he came off.
Can't really say I have seen much of Aneke. But was impressed with his long rage efforts on goal in pre-season. As for Frimpong, the injuries have halted his development so badly, and can only judge him once he goes through a season without picking up a serious injury. But he is the sort of player we need, so if he can get back to his best, he does have a role to play at Arsenal.
Haven't seen chuks play either mate but I go on the Crewe forums pretty often,seeing as I have nothing to,do for the past month up until next week and this seems to be the general consensus on both.
Crewe have a good reputation of developing young players, so he is at the right club. Let's hope he does well.
Frimpong will make it if he curbs his "famous" lifestyle in favour of concentrating on his football. Chuks is a tough one. His best position is kind of as a second striker in the Dempsey style I believe, though someone may correct me on that. Not sure if he'll find his place at Arsenal.
He's more of an attacking midfielder in the cesc mould but he himself states he,likens himself to diaby whilst wenger has compared him to yaya toure
I saw Benik Afobe playing fro Bolton yesterday. He started well and looked a good Championship player but on yesterdays performance didnt show enough to make me think he can be a top player for a top team. Got substituted after an hour.
I think both will make it, aneke is similar in build and play to yaya toure. i would start him in a central midfield position with the option move him further forward as his game progresses. One positive is that they already seem to have the right physique and are not likely to get bullied in matches despite their age.
I have a feeling that Frimpong will make it, providing he gets over his injuries. Wenger was getting him ready for first team football until he got those hideous injuries. We are getting close to having an English core in our team, and Frimpong would be the last piece of the puzzle. We need some English defensive cover and he would give that.
More than any player that's come through our ranks over the last few years, I want Frimpong to succeed at Arsenal. He is just what we need. A player who is dedicated to breaking up opposition play, loves to win the ball back and relishes getting stuck into a tackle. The fact that he is a die hard Gooner is also exactly the type of mentality we need in the heart of midfield
