Generally I wish more clubs put more faith in their youngsters than spending millions of pounds on players from abroad. of Chelsea is another good player to watch out for. With Frimpong he is a future England international and I like to see him paired up with Wishire.

Alan Medic Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I think Frimpong wants to play for Ghana not England. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/346/#findComment-489441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Medic Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 This is pretty clear.............a few months oldThe young Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is currently recovering from a cruciate knee ligament injury which has kept him out of the team since the beginning of the season, but he is recovering well and hopes to return to traing in the next month or so.The youngster, who has just turned 19, has represented England at U16 and U17 levels but is adamant that he wants to represent his home country Ghana.In an interview today on Citi Sports in Ghana he made it clear where his heart lies. ?I have always said that I will play for Ghana because I am a Ghanaian Player. My whole family is from Ghana but at the same time, I have been in England since I was young and I see England as my home.?But at the moment, if Ghana calls me up I will gladly go and play. But there are people who also don?t want me be called to play for Ghana which is very disappointing. I guess I just have to wait for a call up but at the moment I am still playing for England so it?s a bit of a difficult situation? .?I have always told my family that if Ghana calls me, I will personally ride my own bicycle from England to Ghana? he concluded.

Otta Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Wenger probably wants him to play for England, because he has lost so many players to the African Nations Cup over the years.

Undisputedtruth Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Wenger said:"And comparing his two midfielders [Wilshire & Frimpong], Wenger added: "Frimpong is a bit less of a dribbler but he's a fighter and a winner." @Alan Medic,That may be true but Frimpong is selected for the England U21 game next month.

Alan Medic Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yes UDT but until he plays in a competitive match for the senior team he can still choose Ghana.

Undisputedtruth Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 or England...I suspect the decision to bring Frimpong to the England team will come sooner than later. Players these days do not honour their contracts muchless keep to their word.

maxxi Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 June this year-?I want to play for Ghana, because I am a Ghanaian and not for the Three Lions of England.??My name is ample testimony that I am a Ghanaian, and so I find it ridiculous playing for the England national team with the kind of name I bear,? ?I have been offered the chance to play for the English side, but I think playing for Ghana would be appropriate.?-some words are harder to go back on than others... though I suppose he could always change his name to Manny Frimpton?

Undisputedtruth Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Danny Welbeck had made the difficult choice when he chose England over Ghana. In case of the Boateng brothers, Jerome chosen Germany while Kevin-Prince played for Ghana and was on opposing sides during the World Cup 2010.With Frimpong making his first English Premiership start for Arsenal last Saturday, England has signalled their intent and this week selected him for their U21 squad.http://www.footballtransfertavern.com/2011/08/premiership/frimpong-beauty-or-the-beastIt seems there are a wealth of very good technical young English players playing for various clubs such as Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester Utd. Josh Macceachran is another impressive young talent.

red devil Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 A few years ago the belief was that the Old Firm would hold their own in the top half of the Premier League, not so now...but I'm sure Mick will have something to say on that subject ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/346/#findComment-489459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Medic Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I don't think any Scottish club would hold their own in the PL currently. They just don't have the money.

Alan Medic Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 No fan of Liverpool but enjoyed their football today. Suarez is a delight to watch. Bolton are no bad team either. I think the PL is getting better after possibly taking a few steps back for a couple of years.
