Frimpong looks to have improved since his time at Arsenal

Seen him pinging some ridiculous grass cutters out wide in training drills on Instagram

 

[Cox Green Fc]

funny if they pipped Bayern to the title and Kane is still trophyless

Surely they can’t live up to their ‘Neverkusen’ mock nickname this year, they do look the real deal.

Were they on for the league, Champions League and probably Deutsche Pokal in the early 2000s and failed to win any of them? I think Ballack was captain at the time.

Great player, looking like a great coach

Went to see them a few months ago and they were brilliant to watch. Florian Wirtz ran the show, he was like Patrick Roberts with an end product. Grimaldo kept popping up in the centre forward position from left back, scored twice and hit the bar with a free kick for what would have been his hat-trick - some engine on him. Strangely enough, Boniface looked like a right lazy big lump up front yet still managed to score.

I’ve been following their results ever since and would love it if they won the title playing that style of football.
