For YEARS I have been sending Arsene Wenger, the skipper of my beloved Arsenal, telepathic messages (and blogposts) imploring him to seek help to shore up the Gunners' horrific defense. In last season's transfer window he dug in the bargain bin and came up with the hopeless Sebastien Squillaci and the woefully inexperienced Laurent Koscielny, whose inexplicable gaffe sealed our doom in the Carling Cup final against Birmingham City. Which, as it turns out, was our best and only chance to win any hardware in 2011.
This transfer window he went back to the same secondhand store and spent a few pennies on teenaged defender Carl Jenkinson from Charlton Athletic. And yesterday we got a glimpse of what he can bring to the club. See the link for yourself. And God help us.
And in case you didn't know, that was our new defensive stalwart lobbing the ball in his own goal, in spectacular fashion. This is not what I had in mind when I asked for defensive reinforcements. Groan.
