Guest michaelfoster Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Its obvious he's gone and theres nothing we can do to persuade him to stay, i dont think money is the issue, he just wants to play for his country and he know he probably wont get that opportunity here No it isn't. We shall see come 1st Sept Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 If it's obvious he's gone, then surely there is no need to wait and see? He's gone, damnit! Did you see the way he blinked at the weekend! Traitor! The only obvious thing is he hasn't nailed his colours to the mast one way or another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The main factor in his decision seems to be potential for international selection... I wonder how hard the club have tried to "push" him on Del Bosque? If they wanted to keep Enrique here they should be inviting him or his scouts over to attend matches etc. I'd be interested to know whether this has happened - it would at least send out a positive message to the player.

Neil Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Are Spain still playing Capdevilla at LB? I know it's not how it should be but maybe the media reports of Man Utd/Liverpool/whoever being interested may have perked up Del Bosque's ears a bit? Seems criminal he hasn't even been given a chance in a friendly, similar to what Arteta's experienced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Also, re: Sunday he's in a bit of a lose-lose situation really isn't he? If he stays on the pitch for a while, waving to everyone for ages everyone will say, "NOOO! HE'S GOING!", and if he's one of the first to head off the pitch people will say, "NOOO! HE'S GOING!"

Chris_R Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Needs to make sure he's exactly 6th off the pitch then, right bang in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Needs to make sure he's exactly 6th off the pitch then, right bang in the middle. The fact he isn't just adds to my suspicion that the treacherous bastard is eyeing the exit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think he has to realise that as long as he is playing regularly at LB then that's all that matters for an international called up. Does playing in the Champions League or Europa cup really make that much difference to selection ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is playing against top players week in week out in the premier league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Surely the Spanish are aware of Jose now? He had a fantastic season last year (although at a lower standard) and has carried it on in probably the best league in the world, ultimately becoming one of the stand out left backs in the division. If he isn't selected soon I doubt he ever will tbh, regardless who he plays for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd get picked playing for Madrid Seriously though, its not like they have a long list of LB's lining up, isnt 100 year old Capdevilla still first choice?

Disco Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 gets picked because he is far more adept going forward, him and Ramos give Spain the midfield often doesn't. As Jose isn't as good going forward this is why he won't have been picked, wouldn't shock me if he was in forthcoming squads. Only really him & Monreal coming through as natural LBs to replace that I can think of off the top of my head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His distribution only lets him down because he ends up holding the ball too long due to lack of movement in front of him IMO. Most quality clubs will have observed how he holds the ball so well under pressure at left back and releases it in tight spaces very well within the triangle he forms with Colo and Jonas.
