Jenas & Dawson Sign
Tottenham Hotspur have announced that both Jermaine Jenas and Michael Dawson "have signed contract extensions that will see the pair at White Hart Lane until 2013".
With Steed Malbranque having passed his medical at Sunderland, do you feel that it should have been Jenas out of the door, and not Steed?
After all, Tottenham's top 3 players (voted by us, the fans) of the 2007/2008 season were Robbie Keane, Dimitar Berbatov, and Steed Malbranque.
As one THBN commenter noted, "it now looks like our official top 3 players of last season will be sold."
If we are successful in the signings of both Bentley and Arshavin, I can't see any room in the team for Jenas. That is already the case with Dawson, as Woodgate and King are the starting centre-backs.
I am fairly confident that Jenas won't be too happy warming the bench. Therefore, do you think that it would have been better to sell Jenas?
With today's spiralling transfer market, Jenas would have probably fetched in the region of £9 million - £11 million. Both Aston Villa and Everton were snooping around, but neither made any solid bids.
At this stage, it looks as though both Jenas and Dawson are very much apart of Juande Ramos' plans.

I think the club have extended their contracts as the board realises that neither player will be a regular. By extending their contracts, the club can make sure that these players don't let their contracts run down and leave on the cheap or a Bosman.
That's a great bit of business by Levy!
Expect both Dawson and Jenas to leave next season.
Jenas for around £10 million, and Dawson for around £5 million.
Well done Levy!!
