RIP Jenkinson. We're getting a 20 year old right back from Atletico.

Apparently.

[Luis Anaconda]

with an option to buy. Not sure what is in it for him or Athletico unless the Debuchy move has broken down

[the splendor of antigone]

while Jenks gains valuable experience elsewhere.

[Ben.]

surely though we'd want someone more experienced for first choice?

maybe Newcastle want Jenkinson and we need someone lined up.

[Luis Anaconda]

but not much from theirs.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

A decision on either one at the end of the season. Or convert Jenkinson to a CB :-O

Win win for the Arsenal if that happens, though not sure Newcastle are keen...

And Cole

Someone got injured and he had his chance, he'd have been sold the following summer otherwise.

[Ben.]

or some such

so the percentage who have gone on loan and come back to the first team is probably about normal ergo the going on loan thing doesn't mean anything. Szczesny is another one who came back - that's roughly a quarter of our first XI who have done that

to be in and around the first team for several seasons :shrug:
