The problem I have with Carrick isn't that he passes the ball in any particular direction, its that he passes it regardless of his positioning. He often finds himself in acres of space yet still just gives it to the next man. What's the point? If you're in space, use it, take the ball forward. That's why I call him gutless. He doesn't want to drive forward and then find a pass, even when its wide open.

Anyway, fuck Carrick. I've said enough about that gormless eejit over the years.
Frimpong would be good. Just the sort of player we need. Capable, mobile, strong and with that drive we need too.

More talk of Frimpong being available on a free transfer at the end of this season in the gossip column.

I'd definitely go for him, looks a really good player.

Agreed , seems to have lost his way a bit at arsenal and we could be the perfect fit for him.

Frimpong bossed the game against us before Petrov kicked him in the eye. I like him. Good player.

Frimpong rubbished the talk on his twitter yesterday. He said he's not in the last year of his deal and he's going out on loan soon (assuming he means to a Championship club).

So we may have to buy him- still worth signing.

News to me. Seems like the sort of player we could do with though.
A bit of flair, something different.

Have we ever had a player that goes with one name? If not, then we should sign him just based on that. We nearly Juninho many moons ago off course

has this been picked up anywhere else?

Do we need another attacking player? We have an awful lot of optons in both attacking midfield and forward options. I think we need to work on firming up our spine.

we should always be looking to upgrade what we have. It's not as if our midfield can't stop scoring goals. That's a major issue as much as defending leads is.

Of course, that's true. Just that for where we are now I think we could do with beefing up midfield.

When we've offloaded Bent, N'Zog, Ireland and Delfouneso, yes!
