Jenas on Deadline Day moves, including his loan to Villa
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37234594
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.
-
That was an awful deal.
-
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.
-
Was he not signed by TSM?
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.
-
A total turd
-
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.
Wanker
-
Hutton and Jenas on deadline day, Christ remember those heady days?
-
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.

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?
-
Sorry, who?
-

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.
-
Ok he did not play many matches due to injury however has never said anything bad about the Club or the city so I am fine with his opining even though has has poor memory!
-
Yet another TSM2 decision that was brain exploding in it's stupidity
-
I'm doing the same now make that TSM

Perhaps he was the only one over 6'.
Yes, I'm pretty sure it was McLeish that signed him, too
-
It was McLeish. Fucking idiot.
-
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.

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
-
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.
-
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
-
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.

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.
