I can remember a host of people suggesting he should take Sagna's place so I'm surprised there isn't a little more support for him. It's hard to see him as the long term Arsenal right back but he may well improve much more than we anticipate and I am happy he is here for the time being.

I would have preferred Coleman if we had to go for a player who needn't be afforded the 'adaptation period', but I am pretty sure Matrinez doesn't want to lose him easily.

You need to keep people like Jenks in the squad in order to fight for the title. He won't ever complain and he can come in and do a reasonable job against the lower sides.


Man Utd kept dross like O'Shea around for ages when they were regularly winning titles.

And if we listened to you Ramsey wouldn't be here.

Another absolute shit player that had the game of his life scoring against us.

Although O'shea did have one really good season where he even stood out.

Remember that lob he scored against us in the 4 - 2 at Highbury in 04/05? :sick:


Him, Park Ji-Sung and Phil Neville somehow conspired to become world beaters whenever they played us. Wasn't helped by our piss poor defending at times though.

Goalkeepers.

Fucking goalkeepers.

Game of their life against us every time.

That could be said for 90% of the fans. Same bullshit is happening to Wilshere now. Jenks is nowhere near as bad as some are making out. He didn't get as horribly exposed for pace as Monreal, for example. And I can't recall our play disintegrating any more with Jenks than that it did whenever Sagna had the ball beyond the halfway line. He's cover, nobody pretends he's more and he does an adequate job. Plenty of time to learn and improve and a loan spell will help.
