No, it's a completely fair question to ask whether Jack is capable of smoking 20 cigarettes in an hour. And it turns out he's absolutely right. Stop being a tit.

I like Jenks and think he is a good back up. The boy loves Arsenal and that is reason enough for me to have him here. You know that he will bust a gut for the shirt.. something you cant say about a lot of cunts in the team.
May not have been exposed for pace but hes been exposed for brain (and basic technique) many a time.
If you think i'll forgive him for nonsense like this (the second goal) then youve got another thing coming

Same people saying we should retain a lower league player are the ones who say the board are cheap/settle for 4th. Couldnt make it up.
Oh and Oshea and Phil Neville are far more reliable players. Students of the game. Jenkinson could never do punditry like Mr Neville is currently.
Hes lived the dream. Now it should end.
Inexperienced, young player in 'makes a mistake' shocker. Not to mention the fact that there are two other players in that clip that are just as poor and make a school boy error .:coffee:
I would rather we keep him and let Bould try and coach him into a top defender.
Honestly, what is the point of buying in these young players for the future if they are never given a chance to come to fruition.
Thought it was the other Neville brother who's currently doing punditry.
I have nothing against developing talented players but we've wasted a lot of time over the past 8 years or so developing players that don't have the talent. I don't want to see a repeat of the situation we used to see with Hoyte where chance after chance was given but he was never good enough. We have to priorities points over development and we dropped a lot of points in the past waiting for the penny to drop on young several players.
If Jenks ends up costing us more than what he's offering, then he shouldn't play and can't be depended upon for cover. If he wasn't English and an Arsenal fan, I doubt there would be much patience for him. Just look at Sanogo.
I agree that we've pissed money away on shite only to see them fail, it's been one of my biggest bugbears, however, I don't believe Jenks is as bad as he's being made out to be.
It is also a big factor that he is a fan of arsenal and not just one one who plays for us. It's those types of players that we've been lacking in recent years. One day he could be the type of player who the team depends on to rally them around when heads drop, etc.
There too many of those types around in the modern game.
Really good highlight this.
Split into 2, for Newcastle and France

He makes a mistake every other week

Forgive me for not having time for this talentless liability, he should be farmed out and he can learn on the game elsewhere. Weve signed a new right back, why is it that he isnt being given shit for basically hanging around the club, unwilling to relinquish his contract and willing not to play? Oh hes not Bendtner, hes not Bogarde. I dont subscribe to this English bias nonsense. The key players at the club since Cole left have been and will continue to be foreign.
"b-b-but when the heads go down!!!! :o". Well, id take Germans, Americans, Costa Ricas and about 35 other nationalities for that role going by what ive seen in recent weeks and years :coffee:
Bendtner is shit, he always was shit and he always will be shit.
At least Jenks does show some promise in games.
BONBON :haha:
That's better than most defenders then, most of them make mistakes every week.
You can selectively pick out YouTube clips of any player to make them look good or bad.
How much criticism was heaped on Ramsey before last season? With some justification too.
I'm not suggesting he will make as much progress as Ramsey, that was remarkable, but he's only 22 and in the games I've seen him I thought he showed some promise. I can understand you not rating him, I don't understand your bile towards him which seems a bit weird and personal.
People go on about how crap Sanogo is (rightly) but IMO Jenks is as bad if not worse. He runs in stright lines (a few times he's actually crossed the line wihtout realising) and looks really uncomfortable in posession.
Bendy is just an idiot with the wrong attitude. He showed promise in the early days, like Carl, but his attitude, the loan spells and inconsistency has taken its toll. Off the bench, he'd score 10+ goals a season and come up with with match winning headers. I've seen worse.
Glad Bendtner has gone, not the world's worst player - but certainly the world's second biggest football idiot. Which is why we don't want to be replacing him with Balotelli. These types do no good for a club. Anyway, it's all worked out fine as we're shot of Nik and he'll be off to either Barca or Marketing - according to him.
BOBN is back :bow:
:lol:
Jenks isn't that bad, he's certainly not good enough to be our starting right back but he aint a bad backup.
Look at this fool go :haha:

And hes got the nerve to be doing American accents and whatnot in that preseason vid? All im saying is Debuchy needs to be good and quickly. First ever Wenger signing who cannot afford to have a settling in period.
3 years ago, wasn't it?
19 year olds never make mistakes usually.
We've found our new striker :bow:
I do think Jenkinson is well below the required standard but to give him the benefit of the doubt he's rarely had a run in the team to show some improvement, happy for him to be understudy for now.
This Debuchy fella is pretty good.
Got done very easily in the first half which should've led to a Man City goal if the 6 yard cutback wasn't so shit. Also did a Gerrard by gifting the ball straight to a man city player to run at goal, but was saved by Chambers recovering. Apart from those two errors he was busy and helped our attacking play a bit more than Sagna usually does and did make a few very tough challenges. Gets a 6/10 for me.
Good going forward, bit shaky defending was Toon fan description, looks about right. Kept dropping into the centre rather than going out to meet the advancing players already in our box, once settled in / BFG and or Kos give him the confidence to push out he'll be fine...I hope.
Chambers got done easily by Dzeko in the first half, which was a bit worrying as Dzeko isn't regarded as a speed merchant and Chambers is. Could easily have cost us a goal.
Don't remember what you are talking about but for me Debuchy proved today he can defend and cross a ball. Sagna could defend, especially in the air but could not cross a ball to save his life. Swings and roundabouts I guess. For me, Debuchy was better than a 6 today. If Bacary was playing our crosses from the right we wouldn't have been as effective as we were today.
Pun potential with the word debauchery here. If he doesnt improve quickly the press will be finding a way to flip it.
