Frimpong is a talented player, from what we have seen of him he has potential to succeed at the top level. Plus the way he worked against Na$ri is a sign he cares for the club. But he needs games and experience to aid him. Coquelin is displaying more maturity and compurse right now. It's a good move for him.

This is good news. It will do him good, and be good for us. Just hope he gets games and not just off the bench.

Frimpong is the next Nick Bendtner. Thinks he's much better than everyone else can see he is and seems obsessed with becoming a celebrity rather than concentrating on becoming a footballer.

A prize knob in my opinion with no long term future at Arsenal.

Good move. He will end up staying there though, as that is his level. :banghead:

A loan move to a Premier League club seems like a good idea.

He's clearly not ready for a run in our midfield, doesn't appear to be concentrating as much on his football as many think he should and he, and we, need to see him given an opportuntiy to show what he can really do. If he can't shine in a Wolves team then can he do it for us?

Jack gained experience and showed his ability at Bolton.

JET showed he wasn't even good enough for the Championship.

I don't see any downsides to Frimpong's loan.

good thing. he needs to go to a smaller club and fight against relegation - that will do wonders to his maturity.

people slate his behavior (myself included), but who here wasn't a stupid knobhead at the age of 19? :lol: :lol: :wink:

seriously, coquelin looked shite to me until his loan move - stuff like that can do you a world of good, look no further than jack wilshere.

Mick McCarthy won't let him get away with any of his shyte or attitude stuff either...so it's a win win situation....

:coffeespit: Some of the replies so far are too funny :lol: :lol:

Anyway, this loan is a perfect fit for Frimpong. He'll get lots of games under a no nonsense manager in a team fighting for their Premier League lives. It'll go a long way in determining if he's ready to grow up and take the next step up, or if he just wants to live in his current luxuries of being young, rich, talented, and Twitter worshiped.
