    Out of our three largest fees in the last year, who will fulfill the potential best to have a career at a better level than they moved to?

    Went for Ajer purely for his superb attitude. But a very, very difficult choice. Stared at it for ages.

    Reckon if Frimpong improves a bit defensively, which I'm sure Leverkusen will help with coaching wise, he could go anywhere.

    If Brentford stay up then Ajer for me. I also think he will get a move to a bigger EPL club.

    See being honest I thought he stuck out as a weak link in there team the other night. It may have been because he was up against Jota but defensively he hasn’t improved since when he was at us. Offensively he still looks very capable, more like what he was in his first season for us.

    Out of those three, I would go for Ajer not so much because of his ability but more because of the position he plays and type of player he is, a ball playing centre back.

    Ben White went for £50m to Arsenal after standing out in a decent Brighton team so if Ajer can play well in a decent Bournemouth team I think a bigger team will take a chance on him.

    Mind you Edouard has done ok for Palace so far as well I just think it is harder for attacking players to stand out in likely bottom half of the table teams.

    Edouard, if he can maintain the right attitude, he has the most ability..

    Ajer has the determination to make it tho, but will never be good in thr air and teams will target that.

    Don't see JF on the same type of level.

    Think they'll all hover about the kind of level they're at just now.

    I think Frimpong and Ajer will both go go far higher levels. Both have age on their side, especially Frimpong. I also expect both to get good moves in the next 2 years.

    Was torn between Ajer and Frimpong. Don’t think Eddy had it in him to reach the top

    Out of the 3 of them it's Ajer for me, easily.

    I do think Frimpong will continue to improve, and it wouldn't shock me if there's a host of clubs after him next season, but I think Ajer has the potential to become world class, wouldn't shock me if Liverpool or somebody similar go for him 2 years time.

    Edouard can still become really good too, but it's all on his attitude.

    For me it’s Eddy he will get 15 goals a season minimum in the EPL can see him at Man Utd or Chelsea in the next 5 years. Ajer I can’t see him being good enough for a top 4 EPL (or similar level) team, although I could see him at Leicester City or Arsenal (I would say both are top 6 clubs now). Frimpong’s only true issue is he sucks defensively but can also see him playing well in a back 5, so he’s got more limited options.

    Ajer will be at a Liverpool/city after 1/2 years there….. frimpong I can see being at dortmund next year or back in the prem with a spurs/arsenal etc. and eddy will have 2 seasons of 15 goals and be signed by a club who think they’re huge for some ridiculous £50 mil fee

    Ajer, natural leader and has a superb work ethic. He's a ball playing centre half which is exactly what all top clubs want these days, no doubt he'll be playing CL football in the near future.
