    After carl jenkinson who do you think will end up emulating him. I wouldve said ramsey but i don't count him as a flop so i'm going for wellington silva.

    Giroud. Yes, I did see Arsenal fans label him as flop after six games.

    Jenkinson wasn't really a flop, he got bought from a lower league team then thrown straight into the first team at Old Trafford

    Well a lot of posters here were saying he was sh!te with very little evidence to base it on.

    I don't think either Jenkinson or Ramsey were anywhere near flops (though Jenkinson wasn't great last season). Koscienly got a bit of a panning last season and could well be great - and when he started Szczency got panned, but I think he'll be great this season once fit. Ohh and of course Diaby (if he keeps up his form and doesn't suffer from injuries) who lots of Arsenal fans slated for season after season.

    I remember one clown even saying that he knew players from the Sunday league who were 'superior' to Jenkinson.

    Nah, it was Jenkinson as well. Remember that particular run in very well.

    i think it was both. Tbh most players who come cheap and fail to perform initially are given such a tag.

    The only real candidate would be Giroud, but he doesn't have the tools to be a superstar.

    True. Shocking thing is he's our top scorer, though I'm not complaining.
