15 year old Young Supporters Chairman Jack Sullivan has revealed a new signing will be announced on Monday or Tuesday next week.
Speaking on his twitter account Young Jack posted “We expect another signing Monday or Tuesday!! Exciting time”
That signing is thought to be Carl Jenkinson on a season loan. Earlier this week Arsenal left Carl Jenkinson out of their squad for a pre-season trip to Singapore. Jenks spent last season at West Ham and became a firm favourite with the fans, making a total of 32 appearances for the Hammers.
The right back has three years remaining on his current Emirates deal, The England Under-21 star, who returns from his holiday in Cyprus this weekend, has also been linked with Sunderland, Southampton and Everton in recent weeks but it appears the Hammer have won their man back.
Even if he signs we need a real right back as cover for the season if he gets injured JOB
Is not good enough for the premier we need Johnson or Corluka or another we can afford
If that means selling Tomkins or Ginge so be it,
I think that Tomkins and Ginge could be quite important this year with the europa and cups (providing we stay in for a while). Personally think keeping them both this year would be a good thing to be tutor the likes of Burke and Oxford.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Burke moved to RB this year if need to get him some game time when injuries mount up like they always do with us!
I just want to sign him to see Johnham go into meltdown,lol 🙂
ha ha 🙂
Tyson, already in meltdown lol lol. What a poor signing and what a waste of money – we have a better right full in young Oxford let’s use him, we gave Johnson his chance at 17 so please don’t tell me he is too young. Burke is no RB just does not have it in my opinion even at CB. He is short of top class well at the moment. Come on David’s lets not spoil my summer – wait and see I will be proven right lol lol
Haha,i thought that would get you out of your bunker all fired up,lol 😀
You sure did Tyson, I hope I am proved wrong if he does sign but I doubt it lol lol
Don’t care if he signs or not we are weak in that position and many goal tha we leaked in the last ten minutes last year came from that side of the pitch,
We need a proper right back as well as Jenkinson,
Why bother buying class player for every other part of the pitch and leave a hole in the dam
I don’t like Corluka that much as an ex spud but he would give us cover and Slav will get the best out of him,
He will cost £4 million which we could get back through JOB and Ginge and we have plenty of cover at CH,
Sorry lads but can’t see the 2 Daves keep paying out and we are going to need the money from Downing for a winger or Forward
We need a proper right back full stop – coincidental that those goals were shipped down the right, who was our RB – my case is rested. David’s please listen to the fans (well me) on this one. Get the Peru right back…..
Seem to remember Cressie let quite a few crosses into the box as well last season.But i guess that gets forgotten in the No Jenks Pls Davids campaign,lol 😉
Fullbacks are a different breed now,they are seen as attackers as much as proper defenders.I saw Cresswell let as many crosses into the box as Jenkinson.To single this out as a reason to not buy him is wrong.Going by that logic we should sell Creswell because he isnt a good enough defender.
