Wilshere, Sagna and Frimpong ready to go for Arsenal

Posted on October 09, 2012 by Bob

When Arsenal return to the bread and butter work of the Premier league in 11 days time, the team could have a new look to it after Jack Wilshere, Bacary Sagna and Emmanuel Frimpong completed decent shifts with no complications last night for the under-21 team.

Wilshere played for about an hour against West Brom last week and was understandably cautious. The 20-year old took another big step last night, being much more involved and influential and obviously enjoying himself. He was replaced by Nico Yennaris with 15 minutes to go but had been showing signs that he could be ready for some first team action.

Frimpong was excellent and could definitely play in the league, if Arsene Wenger can find room for him in our star studded midfield. Sagna will probably need another reserve outing but he did manage an hour and has got more time during the international break to get stronger.

Sagna has praised the efforts of his stand in Carl Jenkinson. Everybody connected with the club has been surprised and delighted by how well the young right back has coped with his new responsibility, including Sagna.

“He brings a lot to the team and I am very happy for him because he is a hard worker, a very good guy and is going to be one of the best.”

If Abou Diaby and Kieran Gibbs are back from injury, as expected, by October 20th then Wenger will have a real selection headache. Only Tomas Rosicky will be missing from the squad and that is almost unheard of for the Gunners.

Poor Norwich will not be looking forward to the game, that is for sure.

Frimpong set to join Ghana for African Cup of Nations in January

Posted on July 18, 2012 by admin

The Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong made his decision to play for Ghana instead of England some time ago, but his international debut has been delayed due to his few injury problems, but also because Ghana need to get clearance from the British football authorities proving that he hasn’t made himself ineligible in any way.

The Director of Communications of the Ghana Football Association, Mr Ibrahim Saanie Daara, has made it clear that it is now only a matter of time before he gets to play his first game for the Black Stars, despite playing for England at U16 and U17 levels, and his first call-up could be for the African Cup of Nations in January.

Daara said: “We wrote to FIFA to ascertain the true status of the player to be sure if he could feature for Ghana. Interestingly, FIFA directed the GFA to the federations of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland to know whether he ever featured for them”.

“Hopefully, we would get past this development and get him to play for Ghana pretty shortly.”

It seems that England and Scotland have supplied the requested documents and as soon as N. Ireland and Wales follow suit, Frimpong will get his chance to play for the country of his birth. I guess this means that both Alex Song and Frimpong will be missing during the crucial January period. And don’t forget Gervinho……

Frimpong hoping to follow Wilshere into Arsenal first team

Emmanuel Frimpong wants to follow good pal Jack Wilshere into the Arsenal first team.

The Ghana midfielder is now fully recovered from a knee injury suffered at the start of the season.

“It is unbelievable what Jack is doing at the moment,” Frimpong told Arsenal.com. “There are lots of young players coming through who want to do what he is doing.

“It’s all about getting a chance in the first team. Jack got his chance and he took it. That is all you can do.

“Jack has done great so far this season. Over the last few years he has grown stronger and grown faster. It’s very nice to see him doing well.”
