Jenas on Deadline Day moves, including his loan to Villa

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37234594

Quote
My loan move to Aston Villa in August 2011 and transfer to QPR in January 2013 were on transfer deadline days too. I joined Martin O'Neill at Villa who had been chasing me for a long time and I was going to be one of the bigger players at the club.

It can be really stressful for the family and my child had just turned one so it was a real pain for them. I was lucky because when my moves took place, my children were not in school, but it was hard for my wife. She had lived in London her whole life so moving her from there to Birmingham was not a major move, but emotionally it was.

I was in a hotel in Birmingham for two months so you get into a routine of eating the same room service each week and sleeping on bad beds. It is a culmination of things which are very unsettling.

Was he not signed by TSM?

He never played for us under O'Neill. The article is also strange as he suggests he thought he was signing for Man City in the morning then ended up signing for us in the evening.

I can't believe they'd have even considered him by that stage.

That's what I thought.

O'Neill tried to sign Jenas ( "JJ" as he's cringeworthingly called on radio 5) on transfer deadline day in 2009.

I was in the ATC with a black kid called JJ. When I asked him what it stood for he said everybody calls me JJ or "Jungle Juice".

It was around 1979 though.

A pundit who can't even be bothered to check which manager signed him, what a c**t.

He only made 3 appearances before rupturing his achilles against Manure. A waste! He should check his facts before making a statement like that. He doesn't seem very bright, good to see our TV Licence money going on his wages!

One of the enduring mysteries of our age: why is the opinion of Jermaine Jenas, on any subject, considered worthy of our attention? His appearance on Question Time, for me, signalled the doom of our species.

File under players who should never have been given the opportunity to wear the shirt.

In fairness to him, it's hardly his fault he ruptured his achilles. I'm sure he would  have preferred to have been ever-present for us.
