Frimpong the new Essien?

He made some stupid tackles and deserved to be sent off !

This being said even the great Ray Parlour got sent off on his debut !
dont you remember the groans when parlour name was announced before games his first couple of seasons. parlour became a better player and i loved the guy but he was shit for his first couple of seasons .

I love how people are selective in criticism. 'He made some stupid tackles' well what about the good ones? What about the good runs, and the actual getting stuck in. We all talk about bite and how we need a new PV, yet when someone sticks it about he gets criticised.

No criticism from me. He's quality just lacks exprience. Love his energy and passion and he's a gooner as well.

He's young and inexperienced. Being asked to play CM against Liverpool in the middle of a vital few weeks for the club was gross mis-management.

Ease him in, not throw him in.

And you know what? If we dont have any 'role model' type players on the pitch for him to learn from, he may well start to stagnate. Its just not fair on the youngsters to be thrown in like this.

Just saw this hilarious chant on Twitter:

(Flintstones Tune)

Frimpong, super Frimpong,
Joined the Arsenal at the age of nine,
Loved by, Arsene Wenger,
'cause he didn't cost a thing to sign.

:barscarf:

Made my day really. :lol:

Yeah it's very good. 8) But is it as good as this one:

To the melody of the "Oompa Loompa Song".


Frimpong, Frimpong, do-ba-dee-doo,
We’ve got the per-fect ditty for you.
Frimpong, Frimpong, do-ba-dee-dee,
This guy is tough-er than Mister T.


What do you do when you're missing A. Song?
Go to the youths and go get a Frimpong.
This lad can do everything that we need
He can pass the ball and is strong indeed
(If a little reckless :oops: )

Frimpong, Frimpong, do-ba-dee-doo,
We’ve got the per-fect ditty for you.
Frimpong, Frimpong, do-ba-dee-dee,
You'll probably end up at Man City.


:oops: :oops: :lol: :lol: :wink:

(oh and he has far better chant potential: oo, ee, oo ah ah, ting, tong, walla walla frimpong!)

I just saw the incident for his first booking against Liverpool.

I think he was a little stupid, but unlucky he didn't seem to say anything, he went to grab the ball then when the throw was given to Liverpool he just didn't back off quickly and the Liverpool player seemed to have a little push at him. Seemed like something a player playing against Arsenal would get away without getting a card for.
