   I really hope he gets some PT. He needs it, and USMNT could really use a creative force at midfield.

   Even though Bob will play his stupid kid instead.

   @ Keith: We’ll sell you a Jermaine Jenas. He’s only been fired once and dropped twice.

   +1 if you get that movie reference.

    @phil I’m more of a Clockwork Orange kinda person, so explain the FMJ reference (I saw it a few years back for a film class).

    In exchange for the services of a consenting female adult, Private Joker offers to trade her escort ARVN rifles. The joke is essentially that you’re offering someone who’s already going to get fucked the chance to get fucked again. Jenas is injured, and even when he’s healthy, he’s a bundle of frustratingly unfulfilled promise.

    Not everyone is an auteur. Myself, for example.

    I knew about the Collins bid. Don’t think I want Jenas, as I’d rather have NRC, Delph, or even Salifou in the side with Sidwell and Petrov than Jenas.

    that said, Phil, there’s always the chance that Jenas ends up ripping through Ledley and the rest of Bravo company save Woody (who looks a little Matthew Modine-ish)

    Spurs appear to be closing in on Kranjcar

    Part of me is envious; the other part of me sees how well Coker, Sidwell and Petrov cut down Liverpool and Fulham and realizes O’Neill might be fine riding it out with those three in the center of the park until Downing’s healthy.
