We have a quality team being assembled, that with a couple more signings will be very strong in the next few seasons, but we will be back to square one, when we start letting quality players like Sagna go, in favour of mediocrity like Jenkinson. Also, the idea that Jenkinson is a great crosser of the ball, is a myth, apart from his cross for Bendtner's goal against Hull, I cant think of any other occasion, when his crossing has been that good.
You are obviously not watching much football then, mate!

Game after game (particularly in his first run of games last season) Jenko has whipped in numerous crosses at good height that didn't hit the first man, or go out for a throw in on the far side - the total opposite to Sagna and especially Gibbs. Accepted, Sagna's crossing has improved a bit this year but still he hits the first defender in the leg 8 or 9 times out of 10.
Also, no one has actully said he is a "great" crosser of the ball (I think), he's not perfect, but rather that he is the best at the club and far better than Sagna and Gibbs.
I'd also say that whilst Sagna is by far a better defender he offers us very little going forward nowdays, almost always prefering to check inside and/or pass backwards, rather then push on to the goal line and whip in a cross or take his man on. Jenko does offer that, but alas he is not great at taking his man on. Not yet, anyway...
