Carl Jenkinson: Banter Boy

[Ricardinho]

Our best option is to get him out on loan to one of the promoted clubs in the hope he impresses enough to be moved on permanently next summer.

Doubt he will leave, clubs that would want him can’t pay him the wages he is on now. That’s why he refused the move to palace

The club could take a lower fee or subsidise his wages.

 

[samshere]

It's so touching that we helped him fulfi his grandfather's dream...of becoming a millionaire

 

[Camron]

How long is this guy's contract?

How can Alexis Özil Jack and Ramsey run down their contract, while this guy is still going strong? Someone accidentally used 99 contract on him?

Runs until 2020 :bounce:

He's on 40k a week. I wouldn't touch him if I was the manager of a League 1 team at this point, let alone Championship. League 1, even if he gets someone to take him, won't pay more than 10k a week

That said, we could try fooling Sunderland

That's 9 years.

9 years Carl Jenkinson is an Arsenal player. That means he signed a new deal what, less han 2 years ago?

Got the contract on the back of a solid season at West ham, when he looked like a very good premier league player. Wasn't it that summer when he suffered a very serious injury? For whatever reason he's never been able to recapture that form.

2015 I think.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Just put him up for sale for £1.

Solid, but he never looked very good. Okay at best. This is the reaction to them going for him again after the loan






So yeah, okay to good, definitely not very good.

Aye, we can all pick out a handful of random tweets to support a point of view. Not that it proves anything with how varied opinions can be among football fans.

Ignoring all of that, we missed a good chance to get a decent fee for him following the conclusion of his loan spell and now we're probably stuck with him for the next two years. Sad.

 

[<<reed>>]

Remember when he refused to join Crystal Palace because they didn't want to pay him 70kpw? He should be banned from the training ground tbh.

 

[razörist]

This guy is my hero.

He was the one who refused to leave because he thought he should get more than 40k a week, which is an absolute joke

 

[IslingtonBornandbred]

He's definitely a strange case, let's put it that way. When he was on loan in the Conference I had a mate that played with him. He couldn't believe it when Arsenal signed him, let alone when he started making first team appearances. He's basically got very very good athletic potential without being exceptionally fast, he can get up and down the right side all day long, but technically there are better right backs in League 2. He's done very very well to reach this level imo and make the money he has done so far.

 

[Garrincha]

The initially transfer was a big success & nice story. 50+ games for both us & West Ham.

Issue was the massive contract that followed.

. He's done very very well to reach this level imo and make the money he has done so far.

England cap as well!

 

[StefanB]

For me he is a decent player. Not exceptional in any way, but if you train him hard enough and get him to run until he pukes I think he's a valuable asset to the team as a backup/fringe player for Bellerin, but now that we've signed Lichsteiner I don't see the point of keeping Carl tbh.

Send Osei-Tutu out on loan for the season to a team where he can develop and play regularly while Jenkinson can be sold/loaned until his contract is up in 2020.

 

[Mark Tobias]

Can't believe he is still at the club. Have to say though, gave me goosebumps when he scored. Felt like the closest I'd get to scoring as a fan.

Agreed. That was one of the best own goals of all time!
