I am shocked by this news, and absolutely saddened by the news.
He was a fantastic person and a brilliant footballer.
Absolutely awful news very saddening.
My condolences to his family and friends.
I think he has slightly more influence on those who are being signed, but still has to work within very tight criteria.
You are right though in regards to players being sold, it seems.
Pardew has stated that Enrique is holding out to see if a club that is going to be playing in the Champions League, next season, want to buy him.
It seems that Arsenal are quite interested in him at the moment.
3 very good signings and they have cost less than £5million in transfer fees.
That is good business!
They are decent players too.
Well done to the management and scouting team.
