According to the Daily Star Jermaine is a £4m target for QPR. Sounds plausible even if the source is poor and there are no quotes.

QPR are lining up £4m Jermaine Jenas to replace shamed skipper Joey Barton.

Barton was hit with a 12-game ban by the FA on Wednesday after his red card disgrace at Manchester City.

The controversial midfielder will now miss the first three months of the next campaign.

With QPR looking into sacking Barton, boss Mark Hughes is ready to make a move for the Tottenham midfielder.

Jenas, 29, signed a one-year extension to his Spurs deal in March, tying him to the club until 2014.

But he has fallen down the White Hart Lane pecking order and is currently without a squad number.
Jenas was loaned out to Aston Villa for the season last summer.


But he had an injury-hit nightmare spell at Villa Park and returned to Spurs after rupturing his Achilles in December.

When he regains fitness, Jenas faces a huge fight for regular first-team football at Spurs, something Sparky will be able to offer.

Manchester City hardman Nigel de Jong, who Hughes signed when he was in charge at the Etihad Stadium, is another midfielder on his list of potential Barton replacements.

Barton was handed separate four-game bans for elbowing Carlos Tevez, kicking Sergio Aguero and trying to headbutt Vincent Kompany in Rangers’ 3-2 final-day defeat.

Rangers owner Tony Fernandes and Hughes are due to meet to discuss Barton’s future next week.

Coach Marc Bircham reckons Barton could be loaned out next season to a foreign club.

Bircham said: “When they first come back, the gaffer will sit down with Joey and probably the owners.


“After the internal investigation, they will sit down and see where they are going.

“You never know, you can get loaned out abroad to get games under your belt. That is maybe an option the club might look to.”

Hughes is also ready to reignite his interest in £5m Birmingham keeper Ben Foster, with Paddy Kenny expected to leave in the summer for Leeds.

The former England man had an excellent season on loan at West Brom.

Great move for everyone.... and the price is probably about right too. The only downside is that some people will lose a valuable scape goat.

I don't think spurs can get 4m for Jenas coming of the season he has just had.
I think it will be another loan move.

Funny that no one believes a thing the star says when we are being linked to players but as soon as it suggests we are getting rid of some."deadwood" we are discussing it as if jj himself brought us the news.... Funny...

What is it with Jenas...
He's a good footballer, I just can't understand why he failed to live up to potential?!

He passed sideways so often it was horrific to watch, but his runs and goals were usually good. Do we put it down to instructions from the managers?! After all, many of them rated Jenas highly enough to start him a lot.

A fresh start would be good for him, but I think he does get a lot of unfair stick on here, we have had a lot lot worse.

Direct replacement for Joey Barton!!!

Oh so thats where JJ has been, he has been training for the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship)

On a serious note though he has been plagued with some horrible injuries!! When he played well, he was a decent player and very often scored some really good goals! Qpr or West Ham will be a good move for him!!

I'll just be happy if we can shift him

this is a player i cant stand . so so average its beyond a joke. agree with what you are saying but unless qpr offer more wages then he wont go anyway. if ever there was player to sit on his ass and do nothing this is him

im just hoping qpr might come in for bentley too or wet spam maybe. no one else i think will go near them
