QPR want Jermaine Jenas on loan NEIL WARNOCK has launched an ambitious bid to sign Jermaine Jenas on loan. QPR boss Warnock is reviving a move for the Tottenham midfielder following Tony Fernandes' takeover at Loftus Road last week. Rangers want the England inter-national, 28, for a season with a view to a £5million permanent deal if the club avoid relegation. Jenas, capped 21 times, has not started a league game for Spurs since April 2. While Warnock finally has some cash to spend, he is battling against the clock to use it. He said: "It's all right having money and making offers but getting them to sign and move on with you is a different ball game. "In 10 days, I've got to do 12 weeks' work. In an ideal world, we've always done it early. "It wasn't possible and we've just got to try to grasp this opportunity and strengthen the squad to give us a chance up to Christmas." Hoops manager Warnock is also lining up a £2m bid for Luke Young. The full-back, 32, has started Aston Villa's first two Premier League games this season. But boss Alex McLeish is open to offers if he can land Tottenham's Alan Hutton. Warnock has failed in an attempt to bring former Portsmouth defender Nadir Belhadj, 29, back to Britain. QPR, Swansea and Celtic had all shown interest but Qatari side Al Sadd do not want the Algerian to leave. iReader
I would be very happy to get Jenas. He can play in several positions across the middle and also back / full back. He is energetic and puts in the hard yards. He will do for me
Neil obviously feels the midfield needs some extra experience. All three of the above named would add significantly to us but now Gorkss has gone we almost need a whole back line.
For me Jenas is another player who has made a career out of being famous but nobody knows what for. Not as injury prone as Dyer (3 minutes, can you believe he went off after 3 minutes?!) but still likely to take forever to recover from a knock. When was the last game that Jenas lit up the pitch? Seriously, any Spurs fans who would hate to see him go? Of all the players we have been supposedly linked with since the take over I'd say Scott Parker would be a welcome addition. Jenas & Joe Cole, not so sure and as for Joey Barton I'd pay Newcastle to keep the knuckle-dragger. From other posts and tweets Barton is meant to be on his way to Loftus Road for talks with Colin & co. There will be a stain that Vanish won't get rid of if he signs.
Jenas somehow reminds me of Quashie - thought he was going to be truly great, but never delivered.....
He's a much better player than Quashie. Very quick and always had a good engine. Would be a good signing imo.
