Jenkinson isn't "readymade". He's a potential replacement but certainly imo not "ready" for a 40-50 game season at right-back. Not if we want to improve certainly. Same goes for whatever other talents are currently in our Academy.

IMO some of our main fullback failings, have been quality in the final third - that he definitely has
he's an amazing athlete, to some extent reminds me of Ca$hley
I see him as a potential superstar and think game time is necessary for his development

if we could get Bac to sign an extension that would be perfect, can't see it happening
and in that case the logical next step is: sell Sagna and play the existing backups
there aren't many brilliant rightbacks available anyway - I like Jenks and Bellerin
personally think they should be given a chance rather than gambling in the transfer market

we have major holes that far more desperately need filling - at RB we have readymade replacements
Jenkinson and Bellerin for right back next season?

Europa League here we really come. :lol:

personally, I'd rather we spend our budget on a forward or two
than push Jenks and Bellerin down the list for... well who?
De Buchy was prob the top available RB, he hasn't positively impacted the Barcodes season that much...

Personally I would rather give sagna the 2 year deal that he is entitled to and then give jenkinson another season or two and give him a bit of experience along the way 8) My way allows us to use our budget to bring in a proper quality defensive midfielder to add a bit of physical presence to a lightweight midfield
