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?

    I agree and can’t understand why Jenkinson not first choice.

  • gunnerDre says:

    I have been thinking the same thing since he got back from injury ajd dislodged jenko from the teaml 1. Wenger does not pick his teams based on form but on who he seems to like more or who has more experience. Jenko was playing so well now sanga is back he just lets him walk into d team. He constantly losses the ball and showsmno desire. Wenger will not drop a player for an inform player no matter how much the player is outmof form. He doesnt seem like a motivator and doesnt rotate. Our squad is too small and lack quality. Sanga out…bring back jenko!!!!

    Starting from Stan Kronke 2 d Board Member 2 Wenger,2 d Players av all lost it all xcept Usmanov.
    Revolution is wat we need in Arsenal FC.

  • Dgob says:

    Idiocy,

    The new black! He’s still the best RB in England. A few bad moments and a need for more hits and suddenly…

    This

    • gunnerDre says:

      A few bad moments? Have u been watching these games since he came back. D gym cant even beat d first defender with a cross and constanty loses d ball….best left back….seriously?

  • Michael says:

    I’ve been particularly disappointed in his offensive contributions. His crossing is not up to snuff and he constantly turned down chances to cross the ball last Sunday because he lacks confidence in his delivery.
    That said, I still believe he physically gives his all.

  • Allen says:

    yes he is a useless man now Arsene Wenger should consider selling him becoase he as been a minus to the club recently and cost some goals against us even against chelsea last week sunday, Bradford, man city

  • iflyinggooner says:

    I know he has had a couple of poor games but as usual everyone in twetland believes all the crap that has been printed. He had his leg broken twice, comes straight back in the team and plays game after game. All the time given to diaby, ramsey and every other player that gets a serious injury, and people are on sagna’s back?
    No one is playing well in the team but he puts an honest shift in every game even if he makes more mistakes now, Jenkinson will get his chance. sagna won’t be sold unless there is another player coming in. I would be more worried about some of the other shit in our squad.

  • jack says:

    THANK YOU! Finally someone who sees what I been saying for ages….he’s lost that desire to play for the club he doesn’t give his all….yet Carl Jenkinson loves the club and is hungry to win and prove to the fans that he.should be starting he’s also fantastic going up! As for Sagna he looks completely lost and knows nothing more than to cross the ball even when we.have no one in the box! I wish Wenger would see this as well and start the Jenks!

  • Rodrick says:

    I agree with u 100%, this guy used to be my best RB in the world but since his return from injury u ‘ve just mentioned he’s been poor i don’t understand why AW doesn’t play Jenko because the guy was good before BS returned. GUNNERZZ 4 LIFE.

  • Jarvild says:

    I agree think AW need’s to atleast rest him…
    but I feal like jenko is getting punnished for his mestake against Swansea in ouer loss at the emrates in december.
