    Jones: ''I played a bad game''

    ''Given all circumstances, this 1 point is good. But I'm especially disappointed for my own performance, because at the goal we conceded, I have made a mistake. 2 of our players got a red card, despite that it's really good that we got 1 point.''

    Goal.com had Jermaine as the lowest rated player on the pitch along with Nonkeu, Motta, and Tore.

    This is what it says via Google translate:
    • In the first half of the pitch was the worst. Despite early to see a card made moves to see a second yellow card. Very rust error was made and lost balls.

    According to them, he was the worst player in the first half. ''Despite already being on a yellow, he made attempts to get a second one. He had many bad passes and lost the ball quite a few times.''

    Not a bad idea to check who exactly wrote that 'review'. The 'reviewer' rated Jones, Tore, Koybasi, Danny, and Ramon the Besiktas goal scorer 1 1/2 stars. Sahan who put in unbelievable defensive workrate from his AML slot was rated 2 stars!

    It is Goal.com so I'm not sure why anyone would expect anything else.

    Check what? There's no specific author listed. I didn't get a chance to watch the game so I don't know how accurate the ratings are. Don't shoot the messenger...

    I did not shoot anyone, OK maybe goal.com but come on, it's goal.com.:)

    Not sure how long these highlights will be up but JJ had at least 4 key passes including the one Seltzer noted on MLSSoccer.com at 1:45 top window.

    This isn't a loan. He was sold.

    Umm it's not a loan. And why would he not want to? They are in 2nd place in a strong (yet top heavy) Turkish league playing against many international players. They are looking at a champions league spot right now if I'm not mistaken.

    A bad half in no way diminishes the quality of his T-shirt!

    Besiktas is currently 2 points ahead of Gala for the CL group stage slot because 1st place Fenerbahce is banned from UCL next year. They are also 9 points ahead of the next 2 challengers after Gala for the 2nd place (CL Qualifier) slot with 4 matches to go.

    Besiktas should be in CL next year baring a massive collapse.

    John Anthony Brooks ain't got shit on our boy Jermaine Jones! Guarantee he won't miss a training session or a match! ;)

    Of course, I think JJ likes to endure pain as much as he like to inflict it. :D

    The distinction is academic, though different reports variably called this a loan or a sale. If a player with 6 months remaining on his contract is loaned out for those 6 months, he's effectively sold. Presumably the fee exchanged between the two clubs would be equivalent too, although I have no idea whether tax/accounting implications come into play.

    I think the big difference is that Schalke is still on the hook for a big chunk of his salary while the contract runs.

    Exactly. They wanted someone to take Jones off their hands. But no one was willing to pay Jones what he was making, and Jones wasn't going to give up his contract. Since he's on loan, Besiktas is only paying a portion of his salary.

    It's the same reason Edu is on loan to Philly rather than transferred. He wants to keep collecting his fat checks, but Philly wasn't going to pay that much. Stoke is just happy to have some of his salary off the books.

    Do you know that for a fact or are you just speculating?

    The deal has been reported in conflicting terms but Schalke lists it as a "Jones had a contract with the Royal Blues until 30 June 2014, which has been dissolved by mutual agreement."

    "We're pleased that Jermaine has found a new club where he can achieve his major footballing ambition this year. With good performances and plenty of playing time he can lay the basis for a successful intervention at the World Cup in Brazil. We would not have been able to give him that in the second half of the season,"

    don't think anyone posted this yet, but with all the comings and goings about tattoos, patriotism and the like...jermaine done gone got hisself a knee tattoo that...well...
    http://instagram.com/p/nGZlPTKGTh/
    he's clearly fully committed to the cause. i can not even think how painful that would be. does this lower his chance of joining MLS and playing on artificial, skin-tearing turf every other week?

    with my grand total of 0 tattoos, i know little about the process. granted there aren't any major nerves on the kneecap, there's still ligaments and cartilage. doesn't that reverberate a lot of the pain? does anyone have a knee tat to confirm/deny/admit they're a badass/pussy?
