To be fair to Frimpong, he had just come back from his 2nd long term injury. No excuse mind, but a reason.

I'm more forgiving to Frimpong because he actually shows passion, like he really wants to be there.

simply none of them.

frimpong is mentally challenged

yennaris would have played a damn site more had he had much about him, given sagnas injuries

coq should never be more than a reserve at a club of our supposed size

Yennaris is still a teenager, would be rare to find many teenager defenders who have regular first team spots in the Premier League.

Yennaris is younger than Jenkinson and Coquelin and also is not just a right back but a central midfielder.
He had an injury that kept him out for four or five months in the 2010 - 2011 season which might account for his failure to be a regular yet, if I remember correctly it was from a bad tackle on him in a reserve game against Chelsea.
Fairly skinny but has time to fill out, I think he is good.

I like Coquelin and Yennaris, think both can be useful players, not stars. Frimpong, on the other hand, seem to have different priorities.

Coquelin has complained again about lack of first team action, though as ever, if he was speaking in French then the translation might be dodgy.

Think it could be folly for him to leave; Frimpong is going on loan, Diaby is almost always injured, Rosicky continues to be injured and Ramsey is in poor form.

After Areteta and Wilshere, reckon Coquelin and The Ox are our next best deep central midfield options; though again I do rate Yennaris.

Martin Angha leaves Arsenal, other youth set to follow

Post by QuartzGooner »

Has signed for Nurnberg.

Not sure if that is because it is nearer his home in Switzerland, or a lack of opportunities with us.
Think he has played two first team games in total?

Very hard to tell how good or bad he might become.
Aged 19 with just two games in an admittedly often haphazard defence I reserve judgement.

Can you announce it in the same format as the PA does with substitutions so that we can go "WHO?????"

Seen him a few times and was never particularly impressed. Admittedly he was playing left back while apparently his position is centre back, just played there because he's a bit quick. Not a big loss imo
