TheBrownBottle Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 1 hour ago, Optimistic Nut said: I don't remember Jenas being much trouble? Always seemed professional and looked like he was going to become world class 02/03 season. Had a slow season in 03/04 then Souness played him a lot out wide 04/05 and he was never the same here. He was trouble from towards the end of 02/03 - on a constant pissed-up prowl of Baha Beach Club more than once a week alongside Dyer. He was never the same player full stop once his professionalism suffered - can’t say I blame Souness as the rot was already well and truly set in.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 33 minutes ago, Stifler said: When I first started following football, Jenas was probably my favourite outfield player. I thought he was going to be the best big thing. He suddenly went to Spurs, and Spurs were below us at the time. It was probably the first or one of the first indications that Shepard had checked out. As it turns out, that debut game aside, he wasted his opportunity. He could have been so much better. Now both Spurs, and Newcastle fans would forget about him if he wasn’t on our TV all the time. We were below Spurs when he left - and we only recouped what we paid, which indicates how far his stock had fallen. He’d been shite for two years by that point.

A lot of footballers went out at that time, I don't remember any stories of Jenas being particularly troublesome the same way we got stories about Bellamy, Bramble, Dyer...

Likelylad Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Jenas missing a sitter for Spurs and the crowd chanting 1-0 to the goldfish bowl was brilliant. He was fuming the beige prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now both Spurs, and Newcastle fans would forget about him if he wasn’t on our TV all the time. My feelings exactly. The fact he was playing the Champions League with us and then leaving to join an 11th? Placed Spurs really pissed me off. And then the way he would talk about us after was a slap in the face. So glad I’ll never have to see him represent us as a pundit for the rest of my life. The fact that he did was bewildering Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wasn't cut out for the pressure that Bruno seems to revell in. Some players love being recognised and adulated but he wasn't one them. Obviously had ideas above his station and ability and was showing it by the end, but we did make a decent profit on him and it went downhill for him the second he left us. Been a total prat since but not on Owen levels. Another one to be forgotten, only to come up in random pub quizzes in 10-20 years time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) He used to scuttle about side to side, someone called him the crab, can’t remember who! His stuff about coming back from the England squad to a lower level was just self indulgent bullshit. He compared himself to Lampard, At the same age Jenas was at Newcastle Lampard was still at West Ham, Jenas was given champions league starts and training with internationalswhen Lampard was in a side scratching around the bottom half. Ultimately Jenas wasn’t good enough, he was decent in all attributes but top in none. Wasn’t a great passer, didn’t score that many goals, wasn’t good at protecting a defence, couldnt dictate play. That’s why it was spurs who came knocking and not one of the “sky 4” as was Edited August 23 by WilliamPS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for him his ability wasn't at the same level as ego, as at the time only really Arsenal/Chelsea/Man U was a real step up...then enter Souness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 3 hours ago, Big Geordie said: Jenas was one of the 'young guns', who in the end did for SBR. Part of that pack along with Dyer, Bellamy and Bramble. Arrogant pricks they were and probs still are. Out of those you mention, I have a bit of time for Dyer, although he infuriated me when he played. The rest, completely agree. Thing with Jenas he blamed us for his development but he got his 'big move' eventually and his career still didn't amount to much. Since those comments he's been about 50/50 with us. Praises us sometimes but gets his digs in when he can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the pitch he comes across as a decent person...(seem to recall he owns/runs various community charity projects), and was the only one with the nerve to call out Souness for the p***k he was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is however player who just reminds me of our slow demise. Take your pick - losing to Belgrade on pens, Souness replacing Bobby, losing to Sporting Lisbon, Chelsea’s takeover. All contributed.
