Nottingham Forest target Jermaine Jenas
NOTTINGHAM Forest's new owners want to demonstrate their ambitious intentions with a big-name signing – and have already begun a bold move to bring Jermaine Jenas back to the City Ground.
The Al Hasawi family are working hard to make a statement addition to the Forest squad, after completing the deal to buy the club a few weeks ago.

Jermaine Jenas
And the Post understands that club representatives have already contacted Jenas' advisors to see if he would be interested in a return to the club where he made his name.
Forest appointed Sean O'Driscoll as their new manager at the end of last week and the arrival of the new boss could swiftly be followed by that of Jenas, either on a season-long loan move or possibly even on a permanent basis.

New Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is a fan of the midfielder .
But Villas-Boas also knows he has a squad that is top-heavy with midfield players, not least since beating Liverpool to the capture of former Swansea midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, and could be persuaded to allow Jenas to move on.
The 29-year-old is understood to be enthusiastic about the prospect of a return to the club where he learnt his trade, before being sold to Newcastle for £5m ten years ago.
Jenas missed the majority of last season with a ruptured Achilles sustained during a loan spell with Aston Villa.
He played less than two hours of football during the entire campaign.
But the 29-year-old is now fully fit and has been preparing for the new season with the rest of the Spurs squad.
Jenas was a popular figure after making his breakthrough into the first team amid the golden generation of talent that was honed under the guidance of Paul Hart.
Andy Reid has already returned to the club last summer, while Michael Dawson remains a first-team regular at Spurs.

“No thanks. Too expensive and injury prone. Forest already have some of those. Use the wages budget to get some defenders in so Cohen and Moussi don't have to play at the back.”

“If JJ wants to stay in the Premiership then I hope he does. If he would only come if he was guaranteed a place every week, then he sounds no better than McClaren's Losers. We do not want a player that is not willing to work for his place. Forget him he is not worth it.”

“agree Huey,
would of thought first team football is more attractive than being stuck in reserves?
i know its the prem so im guessing jj must just not want to lose that prem status!
can't fault him for that but in my opinion it would be a bit stupid as its not going to do him any good just having reserve action. First team football in the championship could well be another career boost for him.
Oh well, i know what i would of chose”

“I would have thought playing in the Championship beats Spurs reserves any day. I here that JJ wanted an assurance that he would be playing regularly, But S O'D refused him that assurance.”

“Jermaine Jenas has no desire to drop down to the Championship report Sky Sports. They also say "The Reds may struggle to put a deal in place"
What happened to the big bucks$$$?”

“AcapulcoAngus
you could be right my friend, but also the small ''you know who'' clubs fans down the road
thought it was an insult to label us this name, however most of us love the name and have taken to it.”
