Jeffers on his way out?

Last updated : 19 December 2002 By Chris Parry
Jeffers has an uncanny knack of scoring goals both a club and International level when he's fit - 'when' being the operative word.

He's certainly spent more time on the treatment table than the training ground since he arrived from Everton, and consequently he's only ever played a bit part role given the players that are ahead of him in the pecking order.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Arsene offloads him when the transfer window opens. Quite who would want him (bearing in mind his glass ankles) is unclear, but you can bet that reports of the eight million pound fee that we paid Everton for the player were greatly exaggerated, and that we won't take too much of a loss when he finally goes.

It's a shame that his undoubted talent looks destined to be unfulfilled.
