Arsenal Players On Internationals

[Cripps_orig]

ROY HODGSON is planing a shock England call-up for Carl Jenkinson.

The right-back has been arguably Arsenal’s most improved player this season and caught England coach Hodgson’s eye.

With Bacary Sagna out injured, Jenkinson had played every minute for the Gunners this season before Wednesday’s League Cup tie against Coventry.

The 20-year-old has been part of an impressive defence that has conceded only two Premier League goals this season.

Hodgson names his squad for the World Cup qualifying double header against San Marino and Poland next week.

Glen Johnson and Kyle Walker are his first-choice right-back options. But Johnson is suspended for the San Marino clash.

Jenkinson’s chances of a call-up have increased after their back-up, Liverpool defender Martin Kelly, suffered a season-ending knee injury at the weekend.

Finland are also desperate to call up Jenkinson and their strong interest could force Hodgson to make his move and claim him now.

He is eligible for Finland through his mother and has played for them at under-21 and under-19 level as well as England’s under-17s.

Jenkinson, who joined Arsenal for £1m from Charlton last summer, has already turned down a senior Finland call-up.

But after his eye-catching start to the season the Finns are expected to again press Jenkinson to make a decision on his international future.

An appearance in a competitive match for Finland would make Jenkinson ineligible for England. Shortly after signing Jenkinson,

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger predicted England would come calling.

He said: “I believe Jenkinson will have an impact here and you will fight for him not to play for Finland.”

[Cripps_orig]

Giroud scored v Spain

Mert scored v Sweden

[Mr. Lahey]

Giroud's movement is quite good, he is a very intelligent player. The way he pulled off of his marker to anticipate Ribery's cross was brilliant. He is beginning to prove the haters wrong and is looking like a very good signing.

[Cripps_orig]

Cos he scored for France?

Hes been average to shit for us, movement or otherwise

[Mr. Lahey]

I dont base everything by the stat sheet as opposed to you. His overall play has been very good, he always gets involved and makes it difficult for defenders. In the past few games for us he has been pretty good. You can see he is getting more confident by the game. He scored that clutch goal tonight and proved last year for Montpellier that he can score some big goals. He needs a run of games to get going, you can see that the balance and team play improves when he is in the team. Ill concede that he needs to score goals, im confident that he will get rolling if he gets a run of games under his belt. You should have some more faith rather than being a prick sometimes bud.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

I think Girourd has started to look more confident recently then in the beginning. . .at the start is board language looked very non-plussed.

Giroud can change. . . .Cripps on the other hand :shrug:

I agree, his performances are definitely improving and he is doing this in spite of the personal pressure he is under. If he continues in this and acclimatises to the game, we will be a better team with him in it.

:lol:

But for real, remember who your replying to. This is the guy who thought Chamakh was world class before we bought him.

[Cripps_orig]

:lol:

Making things up :haha:

[Mr. Lahey]

Ach if you actually read what i wrote, I said he is BEGINNING to prove his doubters wrong. I have in no way insinuated that he has made it at Arsenal, so knock that BS off please. He does have lots of work to do which I conceded, but things are not as cut and dry as you see it. Im glad you admitted he may come good and as an Arsenal fan thats the way it should be.

Agreed 100% - now all we need is for the NHLPA to accept the owners offer and we are back in business!!:good:

[Mr. Lahey]

:lol:

But for real, remember who your replying to. This is the guy who thought Chamakh was world class before we bought him.

:lol: and he got off to a flying start with us. but I actually agree with Ach quite a bit, just not in this case.

I probably got it from the same place where you got the "me getting everything from the stat sheet"

That was as much BS as what i said

[Mr. Lahey]

^^^ fair enough!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Agreed 100% - now all we need is for the NHLPA to accept the owners offer and we are back in business!!:good:

Fehr does not sound keen - but he is hardly going to do cartwheels ahead of tomorrow's negotiations.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Thought id bump this up, don't know who has been called up.

[Cripps_orig]

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2886/africa/2012/12/26/3628727/qpr-midfielder-adel-taarabt-arsenal-striker-marouane-chamakh

Looks like we can rule out getting a striker next month

[Özim]

Yeah no surprise there, like I said 3 wins and all is good now, Wenger will be happy with everything. Looks like a very quiet transfer window again.

[Cripps_orig]

Gervinho has 2 goals in the ACON

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho is coming home!

:scarf:

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

:rose:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Will be like a new signing.

One of exceptional quality.

[LDG]

Shit.

[Grebbo]

:haha:

[milla]

Gervinho is coming home!

:scarf:

:haha:

4th place trophy is pretty much secure now. :coffee:

[-Xs-]

4th place trophy is pretty much secure now. :coffee:

For the scum?

:run:

[fakeyank]

4th place trophy is pretty much secure now. :coffee:

For the first time in history, one player coming back to play for us is literally like an additional signing for the rest of the premier league!

On a more serious note, I really rate this guy. I think if he is kicked up his arse to cross and be more serious about his football, he'd be a really good football player. Need a Tony Adams to beat the shit outta him or a manager like SAF.

[Cripps_orig]

Ox, Giroud and Ramsey all scored

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey sent off

This guy is awful

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Heard Vermaelen also added his name to the list.

[Cripps_orig]

Nah. He played and got booked but goals. Did get a clean sheet though

Kos :wave:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Monreal assist

Apparently he had an excellent game. Hope this boosts his confidence as he's been a bit shit for us

[Cripps_orig]

http://www.goal.com/en/news/article?contentId=3877927

Santos back in the Brazil squad.

Good to see him back n form

[Cripps_orig]

Podolski scores for Germany against Ecuador.

[Cripps_orig]

And again.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

And again.

Bierhoff. :pal:

[Cripps_orig]

Pretty much

[Cripps_orig]

Ox came on and changed the game v Brazil.

Scored a cracker.

Theo also started and was our best attacking threat in the first half

[Power n Glory]

Theo wasn't good today. Saw a lot of the ball but too many bad touches, passes and dribble attempts. Lost the ball a lot. I still maintain that he shouldn't play on the right wing.

[Cripps_orig]

He was shit 2nd half but as long as he performs for us which he does for the most part then it's all ok

[Power n Glory]

He's just never going to develop as a winger. His dribbling is too erratic and he has no idea how to consistently beat his man. He needs to really work on that side of his game.

[Cripps_orig]

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/48306/international-watch-gunners-on-duty

Vermaelen injured

[Penguin]

He's just never going to develop as a winger. His dribbling is too erratic and he has no idea how to consistently beat his man. He needs to really work on that side of his game.

his decision making isn't the greatest either. He holds onto the ball for too long when there's a good simple passing option and chooses the wrong option far too much.

[Cripps_orig]

Cazorla scored the first for Spain in a 2-1 win v Haiti.

[Cripps_orig]

Cazorla started and was hauled off v Tahiti

Only attacking player who started for Spain that didn't score.

He was poor

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey out of the Wales squad with an ankle injury

[Cripps_orig]

Theo and Cazorla have both scored tonight.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

sagna injured apparently

we have no cover for cb's :haha:

just fuck off you prick.

[Niall_Quinn]

sagna injured apparently

we have no cover for cb's :haha:

just fuck off you prick.

I hope the mods can see the way to talk to cripps.

[Seaman's Ponytail]

sagna injured apparently

.

What's your source on this? Nothing mentioned in match report and he played the full 90. On another note check out Ches getting beaten by a 35 yard free-kick from Ericksen (who we should sign)

http://www.matchhighlight.com/latest-goals/friendly/poland-3-2-denmark/

[Cripps_orig]

Eriksen has said he wants to go to a club with a chance of domestic and European success.

We have neither.

He's also said he wants to go to a club who are in the CL group stages already. We aren't.
