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!

That's the strange thing isn't it?
The BBC manage to give someone like Jenas a contract as a pundit when just about everyone you speak to is of the same opinion  - he is just very poor at adding anything of any worth to the debate.
There must be a queue about a mile long of former players who are chasing this gig so, if they give it to 'JJ' , it speaks volumes about the rest of them!

A bullshit player with bullshit opinions, who can't even remember who stupidly signed him.

He's obviously been to the Lambert school of self promotion. He can follow Lambert in the f¤¤k right off stakes as well. Another person who I really don't care if I never hear from them or of them again.

To be fair, the two months in hotels might be right.  It took him that long to make his three appearances didn't it?

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

I assumed it must have been something like that. The article is very poorly written so it reads like he was about to whisked from the Tottenham treatment room straight to Man City before Alex McO'Neill swooped in at the the eleventh hour.

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.

Perhaps he was the only one over 6'.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it was McLeish that signed him, too

Signing him on loan wasn't a particularly bad move, having a contract that meant we were stuck him all season after he got crocked was a staggeringly shit move.

WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGER PLAYERS AT THE CLUB
Must of thought he was going to put on 8 stone and and grow to 6ft 9" that was the only wayi he was going to be a bigger player for us.
Even if we would of won a 5-4 thriller over the last few seasons I would of turned motd off if I seen he was a pundit on there

Didn't he fuck himself on one of our water sprinklers at Villa Park which wasn't fully returned under the turf after the half-time spray?

If you're not talking about his injury, that's quite an image.

No. He went to run and the ligament snapped. People thought that at the time because he looked back puzzled. He later said that was because he thought someone had tackled him when he first felt the pain.

I watched him on that Five Live red button thingy on deadline day and he wasn't that bad really. Chris Sutton however seemed to be trying too hard carve himself a career out of being a controversial pundit which didn't really work.
