Arsenal disappointed with loanee starts

|

jenksArsenal are “disappointed” that Carl Jenkinson has lost his regular place in the West Ham start up, website Football Insider claim.

According to Football insider sources with the Arsenal camp said: “The Arsenal staff are disappointed that Jenko has not been a regular starter over the last month or so, obviously, we want him to develop and the best way for that is for him to be getting as much game time as possible.”

Jenkinson, 23, has started 12 of West Ham’s 19 Premier League matches this season but only one since 29th November, and that was at left-back as cover for the injured Aaron Cresswell in last weekend’s 2-1 win over Southampton.

Jenks thought to have agreed a new five year deal with Arsenal increasing his wages from £32,000 to £45,000 per week before he joined Hammers for a second loan spell. West Ham are thought to be covering that extra £13,000 per week rise given by Arsenal together with a £1.5m loan fee. His wages are thought to be £2.25m for his 50 week loan but a loan fee bumps that figure up to £3.75m.

    He was third choice in his position at Arsenal and that is why he was loaned. Its just how football works – loans like this make money for a club. Arsenal fans all said that he can get forward and help the attack but he isn’t a good defender. That is why he was third choice.

    They should recall him he will fit in well with their under performing defence,
    We would not like to hold back his progress,
    We could then buy or loan a proper defender
    Then everyone would be happy
    £1.5 million pays for his development ( thank you westham ) that’s ok Wenger,
    If they get more then £3 million for him they will be lucky

    Most WH supporters are disappointed with Jenks performance this season. Is it sophomore jinx? I have no idea. Rather have Tomkins finish the season out at RB, then address the position next season.

    Can you believe these self ritiouse gooners !
    They are disappointed ? He isn’t progressing ? He bla bla black ???
    They steel our money ,
    To promote them and to quite literally say , oi you ,west ham, you mean jack ,
    You must make us a better player for us to use as we want to ! And you as a club must not put you’re self before the mighty gooners and try and better youreselfs ?

    Send this poor excuse of a right back straight back and terminate the loan !!
    15 mill ? Who they trying to kid ?
    He is struggling big time , he is not good enough , this parrot is dead ?
    Oxford should never have emptyed his pocket out after the 2-0 beating we gave them ,
    He ( the gecko ) is making them look good ?
    We got to do the double over these muppets , they must be brought down a peg or 4 .
