Great to find a connection with a player again. Definitely start him today. The guys that want to stay and build on this potential success need to central to what happens on that Wembley pitch, not a goodbye medal handed out for someone sodding off to a rival. Sagna wants to go to City? Then he deserves to be called a cunt because that's tribalism. That's what happens. Take the last big cash cow but soak up the criticism too, you can't have it both ways.
Jenkinson doesn't have the same ability yet but he can be solid and do well enough there today against Hull. He won't exactly be facing Ronaldo or Robben.
If the lesson we as fans have had to learn over the years through players jumping ship is that football is harsh, then footballers themselves shouldn't be exempt from that. Drop Sagna for the final. You don't want to stick around to build on this? Fair enough mate, sit on the bench, go on your hols and get your money later. As a fan, I don't want to see your smiling face with a medal walking round milking it up expecting tears from us before you leave. I'd rather see a real Arsenal boy, a guy would bust a gut to be out there living his dream - like myself - than just another millionaire footballer waving goodbye.
