Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 He's 25 and easily the best LB in the league after Cole and Evra. Being newly promoted is irrelevant. It's not "irrelevant". He was alright in the relegation season, but his best performances have occurred in the Championship and this season. That's not really a big enough sample size for most clubs to justify spending that much. He's not easily the third best LB either considering his complete lack of attacking game and lack of technical ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The football media overlords have spoken. Enrique is good, and therefore must play for a top 4 club or Spurs as soon as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you are correct, he doesn't really lack technical ability, it's more that he has difficulty completing passes and gives the ball away a fair bit. In an attacking sense, he's not a very good crosser, and rarely creates a threat in the opponents final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 2 seasons ago he said he wouldn`t renew his contract with QPR and said this.... Taarbat went on to praise the standard of football in Spain and hit out at the quality of the Premier League. “England is not for me, I think La Liga is the best League for me. [i don't like] how they play in England, I like to play football. I look at teams like Bolton, Stoke or Wolves and say 'There is just no point for me'. I hate that style of football.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Enrique 8 Million a fair price, your having a laugh aren't ya. For the price of some transfer deals are going I would want £18M minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Curls Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I can't believe someone would say Enrique can't cross :/ I would say he has 10x better final ball than jonas and he's usually more successful than jonas with his robust runs into the box, and considering he's a LB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Enrique is easily one of our key players and the best full back this club has had in many years. I'd be gutted if we lost him, 8M would be an insult. You can virtually guarantee a club of our stature would not find a better left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I've told you all a million times that with Ben Arfa back, we'll be top 4. If you really think that then you gone down in my estimations. But hey we're definitely top 7 with Ben Arfa in the team and if he keeps up the level of performance that he had before the injury. We still lack a decent striker to play of Carroll. Shola, Best, Ranger and Lovenkrands are to average at the moment. Would love to see a quality striker but for us to get that we need to qualify for europe otherwise we're just going to assemble bunch of mediocre strikers.

Guest neesy111 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 From Guillem Balague SkySports.com Blog: Hi Guillem, Even though I support Newcastle I watch a lot of Spanish football and I would like to know if they any young players that maybe Newcastle will be able to purchase cheap with great potential just like Jose Enrique who is becoming a top talent. Maybe someone like Thiago from Barcelona which is a doubt but the few times I seen him he seems to be a class act and from what I've heard of watching La Liga on a weekend is that his contract is up soon? So maybe there is a chance of maybe signing? Daniel Mckinley GUILLEM SAYS: Surprisingly, Newcastle were thinking of signing Jose Angel from Sporting Gijon - a left-back who is only 21 and would be a replacement for Jose Enrique. He'd be a great replacement as well because I think he is going to be one of the best left backs in the country. Apart from him, I don't think Newcastle have shown much interest in signing young targets from Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is worth more than 8m thats for sure. p.s. Love the fact they they quote 8m for Enrique then say Gordon is worth 15m.
