Iād be very happy with that. There is no better backup who would be happy hardly playing when Bellerin isnāt injured
If he can show the form he showed for us when he first popped up and the form he gave to West Ham in his first season there - Iād happily keep Jenkinson as a cheap back up at RB.
Just give him a new 2 year contract unless weāre signing wan-bissaka this summer
Yeah I was saying it with degree and of sarcasm haha.

Nice interview with Jenkinson in The Times. You donāt have to pay to read it, just enter your name and email address.
Love his delusion/ confidence
āI love the football club and also I know what Iām capable of. I feel I have the ability and quality to play at the top, at Arsenal.ā
Jenko is a Gooner
When Arsenal hosted Bate Borisov on February 21, Jenkinson was not selected so he and a friend from his time at Davenant Foundation School in Loughton took the train to the game at the Emirates.
āThe fans know they can relate to me as a normal bloke, who has walked the same path to them in terms of supporting the club.ā
And on Emery and Carcedo:
Emery and his assistant, Juan Carlos Carcedo, also help Jenkinsonās development. āIāve got a huge amount of respect for the manager. He pays attention to every single detail. The analysis before games is always in-depth. And after Iāve played a game, itās not, āYouāve done wellā, and thatās the end of it. I sit down with Carcedo and we go through clips. Itās such an education. Iāve learnt an awful lot about positioning. I feel Iāve become a better player under them.ā

Thatās nuts isnāt it.
The English core lol
Nice (pipe) dream while it lasted.
Not sure if this was genuine but it was a joke from the start tbh.
Tbh I had hopes.
Wilshere, Ramsey, Ox & Gibbs were pretty solid bunch at the time

The English core thing wasnāt a total failure. We won several trophies in their time here. Ox and Wilshere were ruined by injuries and we got a fantastic return from Walcott and Ramsey. Still wish weād persist with stuff like this, snatching up young talent and developing a core of players in a certain system.
We got our value out of all these players except for Jenkinson. At the end of the day the point was to breed some kind of loyalty and Ox ended up being the only one who wanted to leave, so you canāt say the idea was a total failure.

Yeah sure it was. When @SRCJJ done that article on the old site im sure he used the picture of the players in suits and Ramsey was on it.

Am I the only one who doesnāt get whatās so wrong with him?
Ok, maybe heās not regarded as one of the best RB in the PL but he could have been useful.
The lads at the back have praised his workrate and honestly, whenever he played this season he looked really solid. I think the guy was robbed of a proper chance this season and also, we shot ourselves in the foot playing guys like Licht and Mustafi at RB and Xhaka at LB/CB. At the very least he could have raised his market value a bit.
