KaKa Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 He jogs around the pitch making half-hearted gestures for the ball to be played to him and immediately passes it back to the person who he just received it from otherwise it goes back to someone even further behind play. This is 99% of his game. He's like a taller Nigel Reo Coker. What an insult to Reo-Coker! Reo-Coker at least has a presence in midfield as he tackles enthusiastically and is capable of winning the ball. He is also strong on the ball and doesn't just flop over at the hint of any slight contact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Anyone who rates Jermaine Jenas just doesn't watch football. Please help me understand what it is you see this guy doing that is at all useful. He jogs around the pitch making half-hearted gestures for the ball to be played to him and immediately passes it back to the person who he just received it from otherwise it goes back to someone even further behind play. This is 99% of his game. 1% of the time he will make a forward run (this is the only time he looks really impressive) off the ball and can blow by people when he does this and therefore arrive in the box and is a danger. However, he doesn't do this enough at all. He is not a good footballer. Watch the games. Mourinho is an awful coach tbh, and what about Bobby Robson, Capello, Ericksson, Ramos, and Jol? These guys really know nothing about football For all the knockers he has, JJ is a box to box midfielder who's main job is to get some assists, put tackles in and occasionally score goals. He does this (well not so much putting tackles in tbh). He needs to stop going missing for periods of the game but his all round game is pretty decent imo (his improved since he was with you lot). As for the reo coker comparison, what exactly does nrc bring to the table. He's got bags of energy and can put a decent tackle in but not much else. You know what it is. I think maybe Jenas suffers from severe stage fright. When the lights come on for real he totally loses it. He must be different in training I imagine, cuz I just don't see it during actual games.

Neil Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I cringe whenever anyone's described as "enthusiastic". Slang for "happy to be on the pitch and getting money" imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 just going by today`s BBC column.......wouldn`t mind taking Givet on loan and Finnan for 1m which would solve our full back problems.....apparently could be off to Blackburn and Hull for 1m respectively Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest justin99. Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Manchester City have sensationally withdrawn their bid for Kaka, and will instead unveil another signing from Serie A in the next 48 hours - "not in the Kaka league".

I've always thought that about Jenas, he doesn't have the balls to make the most of his ability. It does make me laugh when I see our fans mocking him though, since we replaced him with Butt.

Mowen Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 We replaced Gary Speed with Nicky Butt. In the window we sold Jenas the midfielders we brought in were Emre and Scott Parker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Why are they looking to Italy and hoping some megabucks striker transfer could settle and adapt when we've got a wantaway Michael Owen just up the road? Fucks sake, you can have him for half of that Kaka deal, we don't mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Palacios is not the player we need tbh. He's just a slight upgrade on Jenas (if that) minus the goals. I see you edited out your smiley. Was the other one a bit much? I stand by my comment. Palacios is meant to be a box to box midfielder but he hasn't scored a goal since he's been in England (doubt he has much assists either). As i said before, i rate him as a player but he's not the sort of player we need imho. The fact that he hasn't scored....doesn;t that tell you he's disciplined enough to sit tight and let better attacking players get about the business of scoring?
