isn't a great sign of how we view jenks IMO. though if the rumors are true (jenks loan and manquillo loan/option to buy), that gives us the flexibility to keep jenks if he can show some real development starting for a full season in the PL, while maintaining the option of moving onto waiting for another talented youngster.

I don't think he's played all that badly when he's been given a run of games. It's true he doesn't fit into the attacking game that we want to play, but he's gotten much better. I would like to remind people that Mertesacker could barely make a forward pass a season or two ago and now he's much more comfortable on the ball.
I think it would be a real silly decision to buy another RB with much less experience than Jenkinson and waiting/hoping for him to develop.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. I mean, khedira and Rambo have as good of motors as anyone, but they will both be exposed at some point. maybe if we didn't have per and had a neuer/lloris-esque sweeper GK we could play a higher line and it might work. as long as we have per though, we'll need someone positionally disciplined to sit in front of the back four.
Lars Bender and scheiderlin would be my favorites. sven bender wouldn't be awful either. surely leverkusen can't keep lars AND cristoph kramer. speculated to hendo earlier that kramer would have been a early Emirates era-AW buy. maybe he hasn't lost the desire to develop a young talent into a world class player.
You are right in that we can't play with two B2B midfielders as long as we have Per. BFG is a good CB, but I do miss the days where we could play a high line. What I don't miss is the inconsistent pressing of the ball that occurred which resulted in passes over the top again and again. It's a trade off. We have to start looking for long term replacements for both Per and Kos, as it doesn't look like we have any in the youth ranks other than maybe Hayden. I would love for a player like Marquinhos to flame out at PSG and for us to swoop in and get him. I also straight up wouldn't mind Agger if 'Pool let him go. I really would like someone like Aymeric Laporte, especially if we are going to insist on spending the big bucks going forward.
I wouldn't mind Kramer, but I'm rather excited by the squad number given to Zelalem, which leads me to believe he has a part to play this season, and I don't want a player to hinder his development. The more I've watched him at the youth level, the more he reminds me of Sergio Busquets. I know others want him to play the no. 10, and my god does he have some amazing vision, but I strongly feel he'll break through in Arteta's role before he does in the no.10 role. I want to see more of his passing range, as he seems reluctant to switch the field. But his ability on the ball is so good.
