Jenas on Deadline Day moves

[ktvillan]

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

Bigger than Gabby?  That's an awful lot of pies.

He was quoted a while ago saying that he had played with Super Jack whilst at Villa..................yeah right

Maybe he had a kick around one lunchtime with Jack Woodward

[Fred]

I bet he did not write that article and just read it and then said ok. I am amazed he is still on BBC sport as he is a very poor pundit, makes Lawro seem ok.

[RichardBatchelor]

Perhaps he forgot it was McLeish... because, well, he isn't very memorable.

He was regularly linked to us in the MON days with Bentley and Huddlestone.

As others have said he hardly played as he was very injury prone so the only thing I remember from the deal was how Levy rinsed us...we had to pay his wages for a full season even after he went back to Spurs after injury. It was around that time Lerner fully began to lose the plot.

thankfully I can't see that sort of shit happening again ; there's no  chance of Levy fucking over the Dr.

All of this about Levy doing us over. It's not his fault, or Jenas for that matter that he got injured.

As far as i'm aware that's the way all season long loan deals work. You sometimes pay a loan fee and that player is yours for the season. You negotiate to pay a portion, or the full amount of the wages of the player for the duration. He was injured in his second appearance or something like that. That's just hard cheese. If we'd bought him and the same happened we'd still need to pay his wages, so I don't see the issue. His wages were our responsibility for the year.

The fact we signed him and he was pretty uninspiring is another issue, But Levy didn't fuck anyone over

[LeeB]

I thought that in his brief appearance he looked head and shoulders above what we had at the time, much like Robbie Keane later in the season.

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.

Yeah, really heartbreaking stuff.

Seeing as he was on £40-50k per week whilst he was at the club, I'm guessing there would have been one or two perfectly decent apartments available.  Or a farmhouse, or whatever.

Are we supposed to pity him because he chose to live like Alan Partridge? Thick fcuker.
