Jenas

[Summers]

Complete fair point. We're paying his wages, he should represent the club he's currently employed by.

he got injured whilst playing for us, if you borrowed your mates car for 6 months and smashed it up you wouldnt just give it back to him and say dont want it now it dont work any more,
if we loaned a player out and he got injured i would expect that club to pick up the bill, thats the way it should be anyroad

he was our player on loan, and as such we take the gambel, we lost but thats the way it goes.

We didn't smash it though John.

It's more like hiring a car from Hertz, only for it to break down and you pick up the bill.

Tbh when a young footballer is fighting for his life who cares what Jenas says concerning his employer.

Without being unkind the world hasnt stopped because of what has happened to Muamba.

Nobody has made out the world has stopped but at the end of the day does it matter who Tottenham player Jenas speaks on behalf of?

So are you saying you've spoken about nothing but Fabrice Muamba since Saturday evening?

Hoppo   The whole landscape of football changed with Fabrice Muamba's heart attack.

A football nation which was being convulsed with the sordid racist allegations of the Suarez and Terry sagas has found its identity with the overwhelming outpouring of support and good wishes of the english family of football - clubs, fans, officials everybody.

The Muamba Affair has made me feel a lot better about football.

What was Jenas talking about when he made the comment about everyone at Tottenham?

What's that got to do with who pays Jermaine Jenas's wages?

[olaftab]

Given we're paying Jenas's wages while he's injured can anyone explain to me why he's giving interviews to Sky Sports News and speaking "on behalf of everyone at Tottenham Hotspur"?If we're paying for him to sit on his arse, the least he can do is represent our club or keep his face off the telly!

I really don't see an issue here. He is a Spurs employee and belongs to that club until his contract is ended or another club buys him. Spurs pay his wages and we pay Spurs a hire charge. He is a Spurs player not Aston Villa.

[MonsXI]

We pay Jenas' wages he is a Tottenham player he was talking about a player who nearly died on a pitch with his teammates/ friends. It's kinda irrelevant what was said but i guess some people always need something to moan about.

[Karl Bridges]

I can't believe this is even an issue. It's just so fucking dumb.

[pauliewalnuts]

I can't believe this is even an issue. It's just so fucking dumb.

Have to say, I agree.

Honestly, why does anyone give a fuck if he refers to everyone at Tottenham?

[Lizz]

Whilst I do think many premier league footballers are pampered, over indulged gits, they're still human. Gross generalisation, so there's bound to be exceptions, but most of them, like most of us hopefully, have probably never seen someone amost die. Also, given their relatively young age, it's quite likely their parents are still alive*, so with the exception of grandparents who've popped their clogs, their experience of death/near death will be limited.

* A colleague of mine is just about young enough to be my daughter, assuming I'd been an ever younger mother than I was. Her mother, who was born after me, is dead. My mother's old enough to be my grandmother and still alive.
