Djourou to take out RVP?

Maybe Hummels so he doesn't fuck them up when they come to The Emirates.

Ju to get 87 goals for South Korea then play for the Reserves for the next month.

Arsenal players going away this week

Carl Jenkinson faces a tough decision on his international career but he insists it is not on the agenda right now.

The Arsenal defender has a British father and a Finnish mother and has represented both England and Finland at youth level. However he is still eligible for either country because he has yet to make a senior international appearance.

Jenkinson has settled in well at Emirates Stadium since his summer move from Charlton and looks a big prospect for the future. Whether that future lies with England or Finland remains to be seen.

"Everyone knows I've got a choice to make on that front," Jenkinson told Arsenal Player. "But at the moment I'm just concentrating on my club football, that's my main aim.

"I honestly could not tell you what my decision will be [between England and Finland] because it's something I'm going to have to think about in depth. But I'm not in that position yet so I'm just concentrating on Arsenal and doing the best I can here."

Agreed, he's too good for England. GHFL

So can England.

May be in 3-4 years. Right now, his only good attribute is his crossing. His defending is awful and I'd wait till he gets a few years in before playing for England.

His only good attribute is his crossing. Apart from his no-nonsense approach to the game, which we've been desperately lacking. And the fact he's 19 years old and improving in every game he plays. And he's smart, gets up and down the pitch well, is a reliable tackler, has deceptive pace, throws himself at the ball when he has to, knows how to keep it simple in tight spaces, is about 20 times better than Sagna when he crosses the halfway line, has been a trusty stand-in at the back in Sagna's absence, seems delighted to be at the club, doesn't shoot his mouth off in the newspapers, earns his money when he steps on the pitch. Yes apart from that, his only attribute is his crossing and if he continues to plug away for another 3-4 years he might just convince those doubters who refuse to judge him on his performances.

I cant believe I just read an entire advert from you!! You must be sponsored by CJ! And you are saying all of those attributes from 6 odd games? He has deceptive pace? He was caught out multiple times against Bale against Spurs because of his lack of pace. Throws himself at the ball.. which instance does this come from? I am sure he must have thrown himself at the ball but I am sure most players including Chamakh has thrown themselves at the ball!

He does seem better than Sagna offensively and that is because of his crossing. As for being delighted at the club, which 19 year old from League 1 wouldnt be? Shoot his mouth off in newspapers- well, he is not half as important for the papers to even talk to him about shooting his mouth! If he improves like he looks like he is, he will soon be shouting his mouth off, no worries about that!

I do think he will get better but no way should he be starting for a top 10 team right now. He is very promising and probably will become a great right back but he is nowhere near as good as you make him to be.
