From Carl Jenkinson: ... I donât tell this to all the lads though, I donât know what they would think of me. When Robin saw those photos of my old bedroom he said âhave you got a picture of me on your wall?â LOL
That's the good thing about Arsenal players coming up, they want to be here, and have Arsenal in them. Players like Jenkinson, Wilshere, Gibbs, Shezny etc, that's what you need if you want to build a team, the problem has been that Wenger has tried to build teams with players who sadly didn't share that mentality, players like Nasri, Flamini, Adebayor etc.
And fans still try to tell Wenger to buy superstars. I'd rather one Jenkinson or Wilshere over a hatfull of Balotellis, Tevezs and Nasris.
His old bedroom... Yeah right lol! He's still a fan, why he gets so worked up when he plays! Can be both positive & negative. Probably accounts for an additional 10% in terms of performance, but, can have farther reaching consequences when it comes to the business side of things i.e Broken promises taken to heart. I've learned to not overly concern myself with the Career choices of Professional Sportsmen. Nasri left for a reported 100% hike in salary, making us atleast £10M profit in the process, playing his heart out, whilst wanting out ( Vs Liverpool ), didn't mess us about at all, I find it hard to fault him in all honesty.
