Why Wenger should offload this man

I don’t know about you guys, but I honestly believe Bacary Sagna’s time at Arsenal has come to an end.

Since his return from his leg break, which he sustained at the end of last season, and his blatant slating of the club last year, the French right-back has been nothing short of sh*t on the field.

His particular performances against Chelsea over the weekend, Manchester City the weekend before that and Southampton at the start of the month, proved to me that he is not up for the fight, nor does he care about the club anymore.

Why Arsene Wenger dropped the in-form Carl Jenkinson for the 29-year-old Frenchman, I will never know.

What’s more humorous about the whole situation is that despite his poor performances for the club, Wenger still picks him ahead of Jenko!

The man once described by Wenger as ‘the best right-back in the Premier League’ and labelled by many Arsenal fans as ‘Mr. Consistent’ is no longer either to be honest.

His positioning, pace, desire and defensive play in general have dropped dramatically from when he first arrived at the club, and he has actually become THE weakest link in the side.

Many of the goals we have conceded in the last few games have come down his side. His lack of concentration and discipline to keep position has cost us dearly. Don’t believe me? Then go back and have a look.

He clearly doesn’t want to play for the club anymore, yet he is still selected by Wenger when he is fit and available.

If Sagna wants to leave then let him go. We have a fine young player in Jenkinson, who actually want to play for The Arsenal, ready to step in.

Has Sagna’s time at Arsenal come to an end?

    Wow! What an extremely short sighted article. A few bad games and you’re after his head. So he’s not aloud to take time to come back from as you said, a broken leg. And now you want to sell him and bring in jenks. Let me tell you there would be a huge amount of top clubs come in for him, and you would only complain again that we sell our top players. Such rubbish. We need to keep our top players and the experience they have. One minute people say they are sick of wengers youngsters and now you want bac out and jenks in!!! F*cking outrageous! And let me remind you that jenks had only played once for charlton! Now that it is an unbelievable find from wenger. Why not write an article about that you negative f*ck!

      Mate if you don’t like what you read go elsewhere – not forcing anyone on here to click on the article.

      As an ardent Arsenal fan I am allowed to express my Opinion.

      I think Sagna has lost it and if you bother to READ the article, what’s the point of playing a player who doesn’t want to be and has slated the club in favour of one who does (Jenkinson)?

      Truth is, Sagan has been rubbish since his return and if he’s not ready to play in the first-team or a little fatigued, then why play him?

      Just because my opinion on a player doesn’t match yours doesn’t make it wrong. And what’s with the swearing a name calling, not really mature is it unless your a 12 year-old youth. You think you’re bad because you hit your keyboard and write comments on a blog site and have to get your points across with cursing, grow up.

    Haha, I kept swearing him during the chelsea game. He’s just not the same again.

  • James says:

    Jenkinson’s not much better, both a waste of time. Sagna clearly wants out so why is Wenger playing him? Idiotic management.
