[Archived] Matt Jansen

[Jan]

So Souness has SOME heart then. The "just needs confidence" is giving Jansen a chance to find another club. Coming out and saying "he's lost it, is about as much use as your average 7 year old footballer" which unfortunately is closer to the truth would mean that Jansen HAD no future.

I don't think we'll hear anything about Matt Jansen in a footballing sense once he leaves us.

First sensible comment you have made in a while.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

A tragic story indeed,so much talent and promise lost in a day.

His ill-fated trip to Rome will haunt him for the rest of his life.

His cup final goal,promotion winner at Preston,goals against Burnley and his overall skillful play...........

Thanks for the memories and the very best of luck Matt Jansen

[roversmum]

I am so sad for us fans and for Matty. I hope we will have a chance to say 'goodbye and thank you' to him.

[Robertson]

Yorke should have been out the club well before now, love you matty hope you come back.

Same here, hope that if he does go we get to say thanks.

[TROOPER]

I just wonder over the timing of the announcement, or do the first division (whatever) not have to worry about the transfer window?

We desperately need a quality centre forward to be pushing for a place every week, & whilst the Rovers are playing the poverty card we just cannot afford to keep paying big wages to a player like Janny who is contributing nothing. Wherever you go & whatever you do Matt I wish you all the very best.

[1864roverite]

apparently two clubs have enquired about him. I really thought that he would make it but obviously there is an underlying problem which we do not see on a day to day basis.

Sad for all of us who have seen the boy play.

good luck MJ, your female fan club will be distraught !

[den]

It seems like I'm in the minority here, but I reckon rovers are making a big mistake if they let Matt go.

I still believe the lad has it in him. It just isn't going to show in the reserves.

Yes 2 clubs have enquired about taking Jansen ,on loan-1 club is English and 1 is from the continent.

Anyone know who they are?

[sumps]

He showed with that goal against Liverpool last season that he still has it in him to perform at the highest level, it's just a question of whether Souness is willing to give him a decent run in the team.

If he's released then it's a huge mistake IMO.

Probably burnley knowing GS (todd & McEverly)

[Ricky]

A season long loan deal would be the best option in my opinion

[herbergeehh]

McEverly

Who?

[roversactive]

Probably burnley knowing GS (todd & McEverly)

Wow! Who's McEverly? Don't remember anyone with that name going to Burnley.

On the same topic, didn't Jay McEveley goto burnley on loan

[BRFC4EVA]

Goodness me, make a spelling error on this site and your neck isn't worth anything.

[92er]

Neither club was named in the LET.

[laughatthedingles]

it just said one was from this country and the other from on the continent.

[samtheozzy]

First Flitcroft and now Jansen. When Tugay goes that will be pretty much all of my favourites gone .

I'm sorry Matt Jansen

You were for real

Never meant to crash your motorbike

Miss the season, lose your spot to Dwight

I'm sorry Matt Jansen

It's not ideal

Doctors appointments all on your own

England spot lost to Martin Keown

[herbergeehh]

Please JW and Souey, let Crystal Palace have him for the remainder of the season before you make up your mind about him !

Andy Johnson and Matt Jansen with that young Routledge on the side seems allright, and Matty would get enough chances to impress !

And no, I'm not afraid Matty will send us down, Palace will be relegated regardless..

BRFC is a business not a bloody benevolent society! We need a proper striker.........fast!

This topic wants locking I have heard about as much simpering sentimentality as a man can take.

Its time Matt moved on, its clear as day that he's finished at Rovers. Bloody shame though.

[RoyRover]

I'd give him until the end of the season, give him a run in the team and if he isn't up to it, then we should let him move on. This is such an unfortunate thing to happen, because we had a genuine top class striker on our hands.
