Carl Jenkinson: Banter Boy

[RUS arsenal]

Not that I'm against people changing their minds, but didn't you use to argue that he was better than Sagna?

Edit: Before Jury slaughters me, think I've got him mixed up with DJ/Dokaka.

I'm pretty sure Dokaka thinks Jenks was the worst player at WHU...

Oooh, you saved yourself at the last moment there! He was a better crosser than Sagna though, not that it says much.

That spell at WHU would have been great if not for the injur.

I think he is strong, and has great stamina. He's as good as Bellerin in his positioning, and better in the tackle.

Hope we keep him for the rest of his life.

 

[Beksl]

I like him, he truly loves the Club.

The right back Gibbs?

Gibbs, but with legit banter.

 

[Jasard]

Gibbs, but with legit banter.

Yeah I'm also not sure if Gibbs is hanging about because he loves the club like Jenks or because he has it massively comfortable here.

 

[Impact]

Painfully out of his depth. Have to move him on.

 

[MaraDon]

he s a back up player, and the difference with bellerin just feels abysmal.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

I didn't think he did too badly tbh. Obviously nowhere near starting quality but he performed okay. He was no worse than any of the others out there, bar Mustafi maybe.

 

[arsmile]

didn't make mistakes....but was routinely beaten and cant help us going forwards....he just is a weakness

the bellerin comparison doesn't help him obviously-

 

[Impact]

That's the point. He didn't make mistakes but it was clear that he is not at the level we require. Same situation with Joel Campbell. Decent talents who try hard. But at the end of the day, they are not good enough for Arsenal.

 

[Garrincha]

Did fine so soon after returning to fitness & probably the least of our problems... We have one of the best RB in the world, only 21 & rumored to be signing a 6 year deal.

I hope Carl can get the first West Ham loan form back soon though.

 

[MutableEarth]

He was out of his depth today. Match fitness obviously played a part though.

Lord Ferg made a career out of maximizing that sort of player's potential. "Not good enough" they aren't. They're important to any squad.

 

[amirkat]

Brilliant defensive game from Jenko.

Lad can hold his head up high.

 

[HollandGooner]

I think he was OK, clearly not match fit tbf, lets wait how he will peform the coming weeks.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

He is OK but no where near Arsenal quality I can't have a player every time having a ball he hoof it away

Strange how Debuchy suddenly makes an appearance now Bellerin is injured.

I'm not sure what his fitness would be like but I'd put him in over Jenkinson.

Debuchy played a full game for the U23 yesterday. I hope he is fit to start, he will be a major improvement over Jenks. The lad has a nice story and is a Gunner through and through but he is obviously out of his depth.

 

[Rimaal]

we really do carry a lot of jetsam.
