so was ashley cole. how did that end? posting sentimental facts about him and his family isn't going to work. if the past 3 years have taught us anything its that footballers are absolute c*nts. even those that we thought were somewhat loyal.

on top of that he's a poor footballer who isn't good enough for the highest level. we won't win things with jenkinson in the team. simple truth.

as for your other post. the defence is working as a unit and the organisation has improved. i praised the team after the liverpool game because they deserved it. but if you're going to use that to try and convince me jenkinson is now a good player then i dont think its a strong enough argument. it's more about the collective improvement we've seen in our defence than individual. jenkinson gave the ball away 3 times in the opening 25 minutes against liverpool and is still very inconsistent. he kept sterling in his pocket but what has sterling achieved in his career?

carl has improved but thats not hard, he was woeful.
