clearly, i'm overreacting from the Carling Cup match in the concern part. i should be more fair because of his rust. i do thing he's quite a bit more average than anyone else on this board though. wasn't as impressed as anyone else last year, and this year (preseason, limited appearances so can't make *too* much of it) he's been worse. i don't think he'll ever be great, but he'll probably turn out alright.

Well there is a drop off in technical quality between Sagna and Jenks, and Jenks is definitely not as precocious as a right back as Sergio Ramos was, but Jenks has absolutely unreal athleticism. Don't forget that Jenks is only 20. Sagna didn't have a first team appearance for Auxerre until he was 21. And then only developed when he was 24. Jenks is as promising as Gibbs was at that age. He needs to improve his decision-making, but we ask our wingbacks to do a lot. He's a good defender, but he has to choose when to support the attack better, and not rely on his excellent athleticism to get him out of trouble.
