@alpha, I don't think Jenkinson will ever be top notch. He is village filth but he can carve out a good career as someone who goes around kicking wingers. There is big demand for that right now.
Gibbs is the one to watch out for. He looks like he has a very nice ceiling in his cave.
He made some mistakes last season but he also fixed one of the biggest problems we had - Sagna's comical crossing.Originally Posted by GB.

Yep I agree with this.
Gibbs is playing at a high level this season and IMHO will be knocking on Ashley Cole's spot for a starting place in the NT if he keeps on developing and stays fit.
I think long term he will be a far superior player to Baines or Bertrand, IMHO Gibbs has a higher ceiling.
Gibbs is a product of our academy . He had a chance to learn from all top players we had . He benefited from a top coach like wenger . But Jerky comes from a pub team without facility of Arsenal standard . No role model . No top coach . But on the pitch I think Jerkinson looks more comfortable than Gibbs . They are both good going forward but Jerky has the better cross . They can all defend but Jerky has the better tackle . Sometimes , Gibbs worries me when he ushers players from the middle of the park to our goal .
People may contradict me but in my opinion Jerkinson looks safe hand at the right than Gibbs is at the left . They are still both learning their trade though .
DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
Gibbs looks more high profile than Jerkinson as he is English . Being half -english doesn't help Carl's case on this occasion . His only chance is wenger not looking at the passport .

No its because he is a much better FB at the moment, hasnt really put a foot wrong and the consistency he has shown this season is very impressive. Jenkinson is an okay player, he will get better and not really expecting him to be anything else, get the basic defending right is what i expect.
TV5 covers many of Gibbs mistakes and makes him look better than he is . Put Squillaci there and both will be exposed .

Perhaps, but thats because Gibbs ventures beyond the half way line and provides a viable attacking contribution. Either way Gibbs looks far more promising than Jenko and rightly so! Still think Jenkinson will turn into a solid rb.
TBF Gibbs has had 1st team exprience for a while now, and if you remeember that game in the Cl against UTD where he had a mare, he had the time to learn to imrpove, where as Jenkinson Came up from league 1 or 2, so for where he was he has done well, but he has a lot to prove before being called world class etc.
Or more like that Gibbs is a better player. I like Jenkinson, I think he's come on leaps and bounds but IMHO he won't ever develop into a top player, I think he can be very useful for us and is a good squad player to have but that's all. Gibbs IMHO has the potential to be a top class full back.
