Guest Stephen927 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Very good to hear him say he believe in honouring his deal. If it is financially possible I would love to see him stay as I can see him turning into a quality player. He came under some stick from the press being labelled a flop signing, managers didnt believe in him (not even the man who signed him) yet he came through it all with his head held high, never complained in the press just get fighting for a first team place then when he got it he took his chance.

Guest Mantis Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 To be honest if finances mean we can't keep him on the wage bill, I'd rather he was loaned out for the season rather than sold. Great shout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I think he's very underrated in some quarters. Frustrating at times when he gives the ball away but defensively I can't fault him at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 To be honest if finances mean we can't keep him on the wage bill, I'd rather he was loaned out for the season rather than sold. Good in theory but due to our financial problems we need need money in to re-invest in the squad/team, plus what do we with him in a years time if we don't get promotion next season. People need to start getting their heads round the fact that we need to get rid of players, something that is going to be very very hard, we have a squad of underachievers on big money and long contract and we already have the likes of Duff and Jose saying they want to stop, all very well them saying that when they know fine well that we can't afford to keep them and them saying they want to stay means that when we do sell they are still in line for their "loyalty" bonus!

Yes we need to get rid of players, but it's the jaded old farts on high wages who need to go, not the young players on the up. You mentioned two players there, I would keep Enrique and sell Duff. That move alone would mean Enrique was virtually playing for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Just love how the same article can have different titles and spins. Makes me sick... Same quotes, from Jose, but, "Enrique to look at offers" the other "Enrique to stay at Toon" Reading comprehension 101 you tw@t journalists - the MAIN IDEA of these articles should be the damn title. He made 1 comment at looking at offers the rest was about him loving life here but so upset about relegation, and he would liek to fufil his contract obligations.

We are in a catch 22 though, as well as getting rid of the jaded old farts as you put it we also need to raise funds in order to replace those old farts and build up a squad strong enough to cope with the championship, which unfortunately brings us back to the likes of Jose as he is one of the few players who we can get off the wage bill and get a transfer fee at the same time. If it came to losing one from Bassong, Taylor or Enrique then i would be selling Jose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Part of me wants to take this as a very optimistic sign, but name checking Villa is a bit weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest barnabox Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Would love it if we managed to keep a hold of him, but I think TRon sums it up well. He may not be considered worth the wages by those at the club, but he's probably one of the few you could make a claim for earning his keep. If we manage to keep the entire back-four intact then things would look very good, as I feel that defence is good enough for the Premiership, let alone the Championship. It's just a shame they played together so rarely this season. I know it might sound daft, but a season in the Championship could be the making of him as a defender in the English game. The same could be said of Taylor and Bassong. One thing that defence could be accused of is being too lightweight/not up for a scrap. They'd get plenty experience of that where we are now and it will stand them all in good stead. I agree. A season in the Championship against a lower quality of opposition could encourage Jose to support the LW better and maybe even bag a few goals.

La Parka Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 If we keep Beye, Tayls, Bass, Enrique the it will be massive for the club. I'd like us to try to hold on to guthrie also. We need a dynamic Centermid, a couple of pacy wingers who can cross, and someone pacy up top with carrol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WashyGeordie Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 He has to be our most improved player. I've really liked him this year, and he's looked alot more comfortable (confident). I hope we can keep him, but i think he'll be gone due to our finances unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 the reason he wants to stay is cos he's on daft wages, he keep's saying he wants to honour his contract, ppl who say that are only at their clubs for the money i would like to keep him, but give me £4 million and get him off the wage bill and i would be happy with that as quite a few fan's still dislike him (especially the ppl that sit nxt to me at the match) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What lower wages? He'll be on around 60k (same as Enrique if the papers are to be believed). What has the fans' opinion of Enrique have to do with anything anyway?
