on the commentary on match of the day the geezer said "thats created quite a buzz around white hart lane, they've not seen that before..."
except erm, yeah.. we have... he's done it before..
That's his natural position in the national teamJan's playing left back tonight
Its a forced position he plays because we lack decent LB's ... nothing natural about itThat's his natural position in the national team
"I can definitely find me in his criticism. He talked the whole group, and I feel also addressed me... [new contract] ...I heard nothing from Tottenham, season still has 10 games and I 'm suspended for second leg of Europa League. I focus now until the very end of the season"
Think attitude to Jan is wrong. Should definitely be offered a new contract, is still a class defender. If he forces a move, then that's different.

Super Jan should be offered another contract and maybe this will rev him up a bit.
I agree, I guess what I am trying to say is that if a climate of uncertainty is present within the playing squad it has to be sorted. Would like Super Jan to put a cork in it, pull his head in and play like we know he can.Usually when I under perform at work I get a bollocking and a meeting to find out why i'm being a useless twat - not a pay rise.
Based on what? The memories of him last season being a decent player? He has been the most frustrating player to watch this year for me, his attitude stinks and he is not even in Bale mood where is playing for a move - He is playing as if he has given up on us altogether. Let him go to where he wants to be for £15-18M. I can seriously see Man City coming knocking for him.
He doesn't deserve a new contract, that usually entails a pay rise. I would be sick if I knew he got one after this season.
Jan's not been perfect by any stretch, but I don't think any of our defence have showered themselves in glory this season. Can't ship people out after one bad season of performances/poor attitude - by that logic we'd have let Ade go after AVB's first season.
Don't want to put all my eggs in the LvG basket, but an Ajax legend would (imo) get the best out of people like Jan and Christian.
