Bristol_South_End Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 When you think about all the players we've signed who have done well elsewhere and been terrible at City, JET has to be the best example of a player who we got the absolute best years out of. His 2 seasons with us were far and away the best he has ever had in his career, and we didn't then keep him around for years afterwards on ridiculous wages when he wasn't playing well, or loaning him out to lower leagues. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgy_Giefer Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I actually thought we let him go a little too soon. I would’ve liked to have seen him given a go at Championship level for us. What a talent! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Wenger hails hot prospect Emmanuel-Thomas - Independent.ie The Arsenal manager believes the teenager from Forest Gate - who started out as a centre-back - has it all, and with the right dedication, can reach the very top of the game. "Jay is knocking very hard on my door - with two hands. He has outstanding quality," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online. "He works very hard to get his fitness right. When his fitness is right, Jay will be not only a good player, but a great player. "One thing is for sure - he can score goals. That is a massive talent you cannot give to people, his right foot, left foot, he is unbelievable in front of goal. "This guy is an unbelievable finisher, inside and outside of the box. "He has outstanding qualities, he has the build you dream to have. "It is down to how far he wants to go because he has big potential." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturny Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I actually don't remember JET's fall from demise here, i remember he came on at the 90th minute a silly amount of times in the promotion season. Still bagged 9 league goals tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recalls the Spanish waiter / George Best story, he delivering a UK newspaper headlined 'George Best, Where Did It All Go Wrong?' to the man himself.

I think we have moved on a bit from that sort of nonsense now. A bit. I read this week that by the age of 22 Best had won his last trophy.

The fact his “best” was at city is all you need to know! His attitude and work ethic outweighed the good he done. Might have scored a couple, but also responsible for the team having to play like we had 10 men when he was on the pitch. There is a reason why his career never peaked higher than bang average league 1 and it wasn’t his ability that was clear to see. It was everything else that went alongside it.

Port Said Red Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Obviously splits opinion on here but I will remember him fondly, not just because he made the game looks so ridiculously easy at times, but because his partnership with Matt Smith kept our great season on track when Wilbs and Agard were injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When JET got the ball on the halfway line you genuinely had no idea what was coming next - would he just amble past three defenders and effortlessly launch one into the top corner? You just never knew but it got you off your seat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 13 hours ago, Dolman_Stand said: How on earth did he start out as a Centre-Back? Height, build, probably a more natural fit in that respect at the back. Then you realise he can really play with the ball at his feet, he was probably moved further forward because of it. I'm guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
