da luck： Over the last few days there have been rumours strongly linking Arsenal ’s Emmanuel Frimpong with a loan move to Wolves this January.
da bet sport： The young Ghanaian has impressed on a number of different occasions thus far this season, putting in a particularly eye-catching performance against Man City in the Carling Cup despite the Gunners losing the tie. However, it’s clear that he’s far from the complete package and it makes a lot of sense for him to be sent out on loan to pick up valuable experience.
Whilst he adds to Arsenal a much needed steel and competitive edge, his youthful over-exuberance often broils over into recklessness. Given a fair amount of time in the first team you could see him picking up a large number of yellow and potentially red cards that could cost the Gunners.
It will be of some benefit then, for him to move to a well disciplined Premier League team who are willing to give him the appropriate amount of game time and help him learn to curtail the more brash side of his game.
I’ve seen some suggest that a club like Wolves simply doesn’t share Arsenal’s mentality and thus won’t provide a decent training ground for this youngster. Now Wolves may not be renowned for their fine free-flowing attacking football, but on their day they are a solid, imposing side with a decent fighting spirit. All qualities that Arsenal fans would love to see blossom and bloom in Frimpong.
Besides, I don’t think that Bolton share too many similarities with Arsenal and yet Jack Wilshere got one of the best possible footballing educations during his year on loan at the club.
What’s important at the moment is that Frimpong gets a decent amount of game time at a Premier League club. If he’s got the natural abilities to make it at a club like Arsenal in the long run, they’ll soon become apparent when he’s playing regular football. It’s quite clear that he’s got the passion and competitive edge to succeed and from what we’ve seen recently he’s also effective with the ball at his feet.
Whilst I’d rather see him join a club like Swansea City or Norwich City who have shown some attacking flair thus far this season, I’m not against him joining Wolves. I’d be particularly happy if the deal stipulated that he had to play a certain amount of games during his time at the club.
But what’s your take? Would a loan move to Wolves be the best move for Emmanuel Frimpong?
