Jenkinson loaned out to Birmingham. Another success story.

Holding desperately needs to go on loan to play regular football at PL level. No point doing same as with jenkinson and chambers which is chucking him in the side which he is nowhere near ready for then waiting until he loses all confidence to then loan him out once it's too late.
Unless you follow the club you have no idea how toxic this man is. This is another area where he has failed on a massive scale and ruined promising careers to boot.

He brings in these promising youngsters, has no idea what to do with them, .... then, too frightened to release them in case they succeed elsewhere, he sends them out on these never ending loan deals hoping someone else can turn them into stars, in which case he will suddenly demand them back. By the time that merry go round finally comes to an end, they are in their mid twenties, back at the club, under developed and unwanted by anyone, including Wenger. So they then become part of this over inflated squad that he has no idea how to streamline. It is absolutely scandalous what he gets away with. He talks about all the problems at the club in a vague, abstract way as though they have been unfairly placed on him and he is suddenly expected to sort them out. Yet, they are ALL of his own making...and what makes it worse he NEVER sorts any of it out. Whoever finally takes over is going to need a couple of years just to straighten out his mess.

Look at Joel Campbell...an impressive WC, everyone screaming......... get this guy back to the Emirates, came back....disappointing under Wenger. Actually, lost under Wenger would probably be more accurate. A lot of our players look lost.

Look at AoC, Walcott, Chambers...they all came from down the South Coast. So did Llalana...spot the difference.

Yep and Wenger turned him down, so basically Wenger had a choice between Walcott or Bale and he chose Walcott.... says it all really.

Since the Highbury years Wenger has got it wrong a lot more than he has right with 'prospects' and all this I nearly signed x player nonsense is as tiresome as watching his style of play these days.

He has signed up for 2 more years of banners, booing and a "hostile environment", if he hasn't already destroyed his legacy completely by 2019 he will have done.

I actually thought Joel Campbell was very good when he came back. Took him a while to find his feet in the team but he was certainly getting there with a few very eye catching performances and some wonderful passes which led to goals. Then the season finished and we never saw him again.... Yet mr £140,000 grand a week is still here

Thought leaving Holding out of the squad for the Stoke game was terrible for the lads confidence...although typical Wenger

He doesn't seem to feel happy or like he is doing anything unless he is destroying the confidence and careers of young (potentially) excellent players.

I still cannot understand how szcezsny is good enough for Juventus but not The Arsenal??

A defeat at Anfield may trigger a couple of busy days for Dick Law before his contract expires in September.
We'll have to subsidise some of the player contracts that need to go Gibbs, Campbell, Perez, Elneny, Welbeck.

Gnarby, Perez and Campbell are ,or would be, better options than Walcott..None of the three are world class but they have more about them..Walcott has regressed so much and that wasn't from a good place either..His two substitute appearances this season were dreadful. Offers nothing which is bad enough without adding in the money he is on..

Jenkinson wants a pay rise before joining another team and I'd imagine he will continue to get loaned out until his contract eventually runs out and he's released. Most likely will end up in the championship or league 1. Isn't it odd how all these average players are secured on long term contracts yet we can't seem to tie down our key players.

So true. It is what happens when one unhinged ego maniac, insists that he and only he, will oversee and decide everything, short of the mustard on the hot dogs.

There was going to be 'a catalyst for change' at the back end of last season. You have more chance of seeing a solar eclipse, than any of that.

But I have the feeling that matters might just come to head this time around. If we take a pasting at Anfild and then Stamford Bridge, the mood could finally turn inside the Emirates. I wouldn't bet on it. But Wenger cannot keep defying reality.

Not only might this actually be his final contract. He might not see it out.

He's not good enough for either. And he will be found out at Juve, just like he was at Arsenal. Remember Alex Song rocking up at The Whores? For £15million or £16million? ALEX SONG! :shock: Wenger gets the odd bizarre transfer deal right for us. :lol: :lol:

I genuinely think he sometimes hypnotises people.... :shock:

Sorry but Almunia always looked liable to give up a dodgy goal at any time .
Not a bad shot stopper but useless on crosses and had no bottle whatsoever ,as soon as he got found out once he lost the plot !
At least Fabianski has gone on to make a credible premier league goalkeeper if not of the highest calibre !
In My opine Almunia deserves no credit whatsoever but hey i liked Nick Bendtner so what do I know ?
Your opinion is yours and your more than free to think it even though u will be in a group of one I suspect .

Jenkinson to Brum ,sad to say but thats probably his level ,bet you they are only paying 1 third of his wages though !

As the clock ticks down I still think that Sanchez is off to shitty at 80 Mill !

I don't think we'll get 80, but I do think he'll go. Wenger will agree to it and the board will allow him to say the "board sold him, my hands were tied" If Sanchez doesn't turn out for us on Sunday I think that will be the final confirmation. There is absolutely no denying that he wants to be away, to believe anything else is delusional. Btw has Wenger "spoken to him yet"?? Or has he still not had the chance.......

Dunno if he'll go to City though...the fans are not going to like that. But hey, who gives a monkey's what the fans like or don't like, right?
