What do you think of Jenas?
By Sam Jenkins
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, Jermaine Jenas, has signed a new 5-year contract that will keep him at Spurs until 2012 or maybe even beyond that.
JJ has told the media today that he would like to stay at Spurs until the end of his career. Seeing as he's only 24, that could be for another 10 years.
I personally think that Jermaine has so much more to offer, but for reasons best known to himself, doesn't exert himself enough. He has been known to pull off disappearing acts whilst on the field. Then again, he has also been known to prove us all wrong and play like a world-class individual.
I have said for a long time that Spurs need a central midfielder that will take the team by the scruff of the neck and push them forward; a real character that will drive the entire team forward. Unfortunately, players like that are far and few between.
Do I believe that Jenas will be at the club to see out his new 5-year contract? In short, no. Do I believe that Jenas can become a Spurs legend? Yes I do, but I don't think that he's got the character that would enable him to excel in a Spurs shirt.
What do you make of him?

I just hope everyone would get off his back.
It's a good thing if our star players are signing new contracts with us. It proves that we are moving forward.
He's a Jol favorite. No matter how badly he plays, he'll be in the side, and he knows it too.
Waste of space!

Enough said
You'll see that Zokora is a far better player playing further forward
Just about sums up our board.
What do they see in him?
It is precisely this type of half baked decision that calls both the manager and the Board into question.
I am a Spurs fan myself and wish fans would get off his back
He's scoring it for TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC and not for jermaine jenas!!
That's not being fickle. If we can buy a commanding central midfielder, we will achieve so much more.
He would be a great player at the likes of Derby, WBA, Birmingham, etc, but not Spurs
today he's laughing all the way to his Aston Martin.
Ask yourself, would you rather not have him, or get 15 extra goals every year but play with what seems like ten men..........
Lets just hope he ups his game and proves us wrong. Or Huddlestone forces him out.
Great goal against Derby though
hahahahahahahahahahaha what a joke.
THBN and poshspur what going on with this Defoe SWP swap talk!
I am certainly not against SWP signing and think it would it a good idea i will loss or confidence in Jol as much as i have in board if Defoe is sold.
In Jol's own words "he is the best finisher in the premier league"
I reckon he going going now as Jol is in a strong postion to do what he wants after last week
05/06 - 7 Goals
06/07 - 8 Goals
Statswise, better than any other Spurs midfielder by a mile and only since his arrival, he's behind only Lampard, Gerrard & Ronaldo in the Premiership........and THAT'S A FACT !!
Whether you like him or not, he contributes more than the rest and while Jol is in charge, he's here to stay.
If i was Jenas i'd take it as a compliment (considering his stats) as everyone clearly has very high expectations of him, so bascially he all secretly rate him
What does Zokora do?, Taino ?, Huddlestone?, Malbranque?, Lennon?!!!! Certainly not as much as Jenas, that's for sure.
In fact what do Zokora & Tainio ACTUALLY DO?
"Huddlestone should be first choice, with Zokora given a proper run in the side in the position that JJ is in.
You'll see that Zokora is a far better player playing further forward"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You obviously don't watch many games then pal, Zokora couldn't hit a cows arse with a Banjo
But a 9.5 for diving
i also buy my pants from k-mart
i am ronny rainman
Thanks.
if jenas gets injured (fingers crossed) then we'll move forward
FACT jenas is shit,and if running around a lot these days makes a good footballer then spurs should sign my fucking dog,as she runs a lot BUT has a better 1st touch than JJ.oh yeah,the dogs called poshspur,shes a poodle .always yapping and full of shit.
Your cat my dog.they can anchor our mid for the next 10 years
COYS!!!
Again,DOes loyalty mean yoru worth 30k a week !!!!!!!!!!
if thats the only reason you think he should stay?? what about things like er giving a fuck,in all the games,not just against the big clubs.
Most people don't get that in a year...
Loyalty in modern day football is not a common virtue,
Despite this, yes he is pretty shit...
SO YOU OF YOU WANKERS SHOULD GET A CLUE AND FIND SOME OTHER BUMCHUM JENAS DID SAY HE WANST GAY MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO AND HANG AROUND WITH CASHLY COLE
Has potential but just a lazy piece of shit.
Spends far too much time smoking cigars whilst on holiday in Marbella and likes to double dip his balls in Ashley Cole's mouth.
We will never dominate games with such a pussy in midfield. Scoring 8 or 9 goals doesn't hide the fact he's shit and doesn't contribute anything else. Someone else would probably score the same amount but also contribute assists and to the defence.
Jenas = Penus (His final product is jizz/wank)
esp poshspurt
We need good players like Jenas who display some loyalty, rather than sulking stars who think they are too good for our team.
i cannot understand spurs fans that jeer Jenas or any other of our own players. if you want to boo our players f*** off to the scum.
I'll be Spurs for life no matter who is in charge, who plays and who fucking owns us and I will never boo a fucking player in a lillywhite shirt, you should be ashamed of yourselves and as for the anti Jol cocksuckers, fuck off back to caves you call homes and stay there.
Sir Alex took him 4 years, 1 game from the sack, he made mistakes, still does sometimes but he got it right in the end, were 2 and a half years in and you idiots wanna bring someone else in....name me the last manager outside the top 4 to get two top 5 finishes back to back and before you start screamin that I'm happy with 5th, NO I'M FUCKING NOT.....but I truly believe the sky is the limit with set up as it is now at Spurs, apart from the last few weeks where weve made ourselve a laughing stock we were begining to get that respect that I remember we had as a club back in the 80's, because for once from the board to the mana…
The guy just is not a class player. Huddleston brings out the best in players and covers for JJ's many mistakes, but with anyone else JJ looks very average.
Whoever mentioned that Wenger quote about Viera made me laugh. Viera dominated games whereas JJ is a luxury player without the class to be worth the luxury of playing.
