Sagna advised to stay at Arsenal
Bacary Sagna has been advised by his representatives to stay at Arsenal until his contract expires.
The 30-year-old’s performances for the Gunners have dipped this season with the club unwilling to offer him more than a one-year extension to his current terms.
Sagna’s advisors are convinced that the former Auxerre man can hold out for a larger signing on fee if he runs down his contract which expires in June 2014.
In demand
Moneybags AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain are both said to be vying for the Frenchman’s signature, but Sagna is yet to make a final decision on his future.
However, Carl Jenkinson’s impressive run of form this season may have already persuaded Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger to fast-track his development and make the Englishman first choice right-back.
Signed from Charlton in 2011, Jenkinson has proven to be an adequate deputy for experienced right-back Sagna. Up and coming youngster Nico Yennaris remains another defensive choice for Wenger.
Sagna is one of those players who has made us trophiesless for the past 8years. He has over stayed his welcome, he should try his luck in some other club.
one of our most consistent players for many seasons. stupid comment above. if only more of our players could play with sagna’s heart
Innocent sonunds like he just started watching football this past season. What a block headed comment!!!!
Sagna is one of the fewest players in Arsenal squad who normally plays his heart out whenever is on the pitch. When Laurent Koscienly was dipped in form majority of fans were asking for his head.Sagna stay and next season will be very best for you.
David,i accept ur contribution dat sagna has bin playin 4 arsenal wit all his hart but his game dis season has raised eyes brows,he sims not 2 b playin wit his hart again,he has gotten his mind else wea so let him go if he wants 2. Lastly,age wise he has pasd his peak & sims 2 b wearin out,so he shud b allowd 2 go.
I really do hope he stays. It is true that he has had a dip in form, but he will come back. I think tat his two major injury set-backs, have made it difficult for him. He will put that behind him – Good for us if he stays
Sagn plays with heart. Remember him filling in a CB and he was awesome
It makes sense to keep Sagna, he is still a great player. Hector Bellerin is a fantastic talent, expected to be a first team player in the coming seasons.
Very stupid comment made above by innocent. Very stupid comment. This shows your ignorance and lack of football knowledge. Bacary Sagna is one of most consistent player to have ever worn Arsenal shirt. He plays wholeheartedly for the team, and his experience as a full back is very valuable and enormous…
Sagna has been a good servant of Arsenal, yes he plays his heart out but his style of play has become very predictable. He rarely beats players one on one offensively. Arsenal needs a full back that can beat players and create chances. Also as a player who has been at Arsenal for a while, he doesn’t seem to have that Arsenal DNA or leadership skills. love Sagna but won’t lose sleep if we lose him as long as we get an offensive minded player to replace him.
I think he wil be the only one left of his era, he needs to leave! let jenkison do the job, the youngster can only become better.
Jenkinson has been a good replacement for when Sagna’s injured or not fit enough, but I don’t think he’s good enough yet to replace him permanently. I think we tend to forget that the experience Sagna brings is invaluable. The team seems to finally mature a bit now, and seem more settled.
