He's not a Striker nor a Forward. He's also not really a Winger. That doesn't leave alot of options.
What stupid reasoning lol. He's a winger/wing-forward
About as stupid as describing a player's position by concatenating multiple positions together. I guess I could've called him a wing-forward-100msprinter-semi-striker-TH14wannabe
He shows about as many attributes as a winger as he does an AM for f**k sakes - the only winger-like attribute he has is speed.
Who cares about showing attributes. He plays on the wing as he's always on that bit of the pitch near the edge It's okay, we all make mistakes mate. Theo an AM lool
Btw he scores, crosses/assists, and has good pace. Sounds like a winger to me.
Are you kidding me? Who cares about attributes? So you're saying if we play Jenkinson in the striking role he's a striker now? How about when a GK gets sent off and there's no replacement on the bench so a CB is played there, is said CB now considered a CB/GK? That is really clutching at straws.
How about Rooney being played in the midfield for United alot of last season? Is he now a midfielder? How about when we play Gerrard on the left for England, is he now a left winger?
He's played in the winger position, doesn't make him a winger. All that makes him is a passable winger in the opinion of one man (Wenger) and to be honest we don't really -have- proper wingers in our team anyway due to our formation. The closest we have to that is Ox.
Also, plenty of attacking midfielders score, assist and have good pace. The only limitation on them crossing is their generally central position.
Jenkinson hasn't played striker all his career and have attributes to fit that role. Neither do all the other examples.
Basically the only attribute you think he is missing to be a winger is the ability to beat a man, and he seemingly has everything else. So the lad plays on the wing all his life, his attributes fit well for a winger, but he's an AM? Okay mate, and I'm the one clutching at straws, lol
