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.

From what little I've read about Manquillo, I'm skeptical that this will go through. I imagine that Newcastle or someone else wants Jenkinson on loan, and he needs game time, so we want to loan Manquillo and include a buy clause just in case we like him a lot.

i don't think it's silly if it's a loan/option to buy situation. we've got debuchy for 3+ years. if we don't think jenks is the answer, especially after a year of PT which everyone agrees he needs, and can get an extended try-out from a talented prospect, seems fairly low risk to me.
