The Mathieu Debuchy Thread (official)

[KSE Comedy Club]

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.

Will you ever forgive BFG for doing pretty much the exact same thing in the Cup Final? We got away with it on that occasion, but more by luck than judgement.

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!!!! ". 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

Bendtner is shit, he always was shit and he always will be shit.

At least Jenks does show some promise in games.

He makes a mistake every other week:

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.

[Power n Glory]

Bendtner is shit, he always was shit and he always will be shit.

At least Jenks does show some promise in games.

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.
