Jay Emmanuel-Thomas' next career move...

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.

Absolutely we did get the best of him which doesn`t often happen. I can`t think of too many others - Sam Baldock maybe? Nicky Maynard?

Well said and as far as I am aware it was SOD who started getting all of that out of him. Most naturally gifted player I've ever seen playing for us.

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."

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. 

The hype when we signed him was huge, never seen our fan base so excited by a signing. I think it was a swap deal with Paul Anderson who never got a game here, I thought he was a decent player too.

JET was great fun to watch. Felt like a "luxury" player to us when we were in L1. Him and Sam Baldock did some damage

Another player (see Pitman B) that was never used properly or given a real chance. I was sad to see him leave.

Swazzy.

Loved watching JET's 'training' social media when in Thailand. 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. Best reclined on the suite's gigantic bed piled high with tens of thousands of dollars casino winnings, quaffing fine champagne whilst lying in the arms of Miss World.

How on earth did he start out as a Centre-Back?
