The College Dropout Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Aye Jenas was a dickhead. Truth is he didn't impose himself enough to become a top footballer. At the end of the day, he simply wasn't good enough or didn't show it. Newcastle or Spurs fans would say the same. Seemed to have the raw ability to do it all but rarely actually put it to use. Never scored more than 6 goals in a PL season. Doubt his assists were any higher. Sideways, sideways, sideways. Good athlete and frame, rarely used it to boss the midfield. And it's all down to him and nobody else. And that's because he didn't put in the graft in training or on match day. He left not much better than when he joined and didn't improve at Spurs either. He semi suggests he was the best player at NUFC. That was never the case. Flattered to deceive his entire career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Jenas was a waster and it’s no coincidence he was in with Dyer and co in their clique. He wasn't interested in England caps or further advancement. He probably thought it was gonna come to him anyway. He had talent and I do feel at times he wasnt used in the correct way which I thought was a box to box midfielder in the vein of Gilberto or Willian today, minus the goals of the latter. Sir Bobby wanted him to replace Speed and Souness thought he could be our Vieira. he seems a meak personality who didn’t have the drive and professionalism or desire of a Shearer. Just another in a long line of talented Toon players who basically didn’t achieve or fulfil their potential. But still, he arguably had the best spell of his career here and somehow, like Bellamy, Bramble and Dyer seems to resent it or are bitter. Wonder why... because they fucking know.

You'll be slagging Damien Duff next. LOL. Ranks fairly high in my most disliked players old Damien Duff. Primarily because I remember him being a top player - joined us - absolutely crap. Leaves - and somehow continues in the PL for another 3 years... actually doing good stuff from time to time. What a total bellend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box to box in terms of being able to protect the back four and get forward which both Gilberto and Willian did or do which Jenas had the stamina, pace and physical attributes to do if not the tactical acumen or positional sense. That comes with coaching, desire to learn and more than anything being given that kind of role. Bellamy was a much better player for us, but could have been even better if he applied himself more.

The College Dropout Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I thought positionally and tactically Jenas was fine. He just didn't improve or impose himself in matches. Matches would pass him by and you would wonder why. He didn't lack for anything physically and was technically solid. I remember at the time some really hated him. I think I defended him a fair bit because he had ability and normally wasn't bad - but he was rarely any good. Consistently put in 5 - 7's getting by on nothing but decent natural ability. Clearly he was an arrogant prick who thought he was better than he was. Bellamy - I think he reached his potential. Listening to Dyer he trained extremely hard. He improved his finishing a lot with us. He left a much better player than he joined. Can't say the same for Jenas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I watched it and the first bit he was talking about was fair enough, how it was hard for him to break into that team with the competition etc. And NUFC not doing so well after Sir Bobby left, but the second part he was talking complete bull s*** how he was miles ahead of everyone after coming from England training. And on that point, you might be training with better players, but the training isn’t as intense with England as at club level, it’s mainly light work, tactical stuff and massages and stretching etc. He was here for 3 and a bit years, for 2 and a bit of those we were 4th, 3rd & 5th, at least on a par with what Lampard & Gerrard had at the time. He can't be basing how his career didn't take off because of one season? Scott Parker came in when we were the pits, went on to the same club as Jenas, had no problem getting England recognition and winning Player of the Year. Needs to look at himself rather than seemingly blame the 04-05 season for how his career panned out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 From what i've read and watched, the march was agreed by many groups for the 10th. However one of the lead groups met Brady and one of either Sullivan or gold, can't remember which. Basically, much like with Ashley, nothing ever comes of these meetings. However this meeting was apparently "different". This leading group claimed the board were listening and will make changes, starting with making the Olympic stadium "feel like the Boleyn ground". They came out on social media and claimed the board are going to make changes like put flags up and plan to have the seats at the Olympic stadium moved forward to make it more like a football stadium, not a multipurpose arena. However most fans were under the impression this march was specifically against the board and getting them to sell up, not get a few claret and blue flags etc. Many fans think this lead group have been paid off by the West Ham board. Which is the reason they want nobody to march in 3 days time, despite 90% of fans wanting it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
