Guest neesy111 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Even though Jose was good last season, I'd put Baines way ahead as the best LB in the division. Ashley Cole is no-where near the best now. He was very poor last season by his high standards and getting on a bit now (age wise). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Even though Jose was good last season, I'd put Baines way ahead as the best LB in the division. Ashley Cole is no-where near the best now. He was very poor last season by his high standards and getting on a bit now (age wise). While I agree he wasn't at his best to say 'he is no where near the best' is ridiculous, especially given Baines's defensive frailties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikri Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Err, yeh...some are all "fuck him", "get rid if he doesn't want to play", "his mind is obviously somewhere else"...etc etc Paraphrasing of course. But how does anyone know his mind is elsewhere? For me, the danger lies in what could happen from January onwards if he decided to leave next summer, making sure he doesn't suffer any injury that could affect his summer move and pulls out of games at the slightest twinge in a muscle (see Michael Owen in our relegation season). Basically, the worry is that he wouldn't put the effort into games because he wouldn't want to jeopardise a future move. I'm not saying that it will happen, just that it could, and has happened in the past, and for that reason I'd rather take the money now & reinvest it in another player.

madras Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 can't believe you picked me up on that. many players are high profile because they're very good. and we should be looking for one of those. many players are high profile and are nowhere near as good as their profile would suggest. how high profile was enrique when we first signed him ?

"We know nothing about it, only what has been written in the press", the player's agent told La Vanguardia.com. The name of Jose Enrique has came up in the past few days as a possibility to reinforce Barcelona next season. Still though, Salvador Sanchez explained that the player "has not yet considered" a change of scenery because, as yet, nothing has materialised with the Catalan club or Liverpool, the other club linked with the footballer.

Wilson Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 @SkyBet_Jonathan: What a transfer kitty for Barca to spend! Pep's men are 1/2 favourites to snap up Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal, 1/4 favs to buy Guiseppe Rossi from Villarreal and 11/10 to sign up Newcastle's Jose Enrique.

Dokko Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yeah you are right, it's much better to bring in players like luque and xisco and finish off their careers, much better advert for the club and potential signings in the future. The worlds greatest team wanting one of our players, after the past few years we've had? That's not something to be proud of? Fuking hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Must admit, wouldn't make me feel proud in the slightest. I'd wish him the best of luck though - whilst hoping we got a good replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I could 'understand' if he went there certainly, that's as far as it would go. Honoured? I don't think so. Sad day when Newcastle supporters should be honoured at one of our players wanting to leave, dear me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
