Ketsbaia Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Bayern have bought Rafinha and want Boateng, so they're out. Barcelona have probably set their sights higher and that pretty much just leaves Liverpool (who are said to be reluctant to pay his wages). He probably wants to go, but it's no guarantee that somebody wants to get him right now. That's why he hasn't committed yet. He'd like to leave but doesn't want to burn his bridges, just in case he doesn't. Hence the wait. It's annoying, but hopefully Pardew won't make it worse.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Sometimes it seems like people want us to spend money just for the sake of it. To show of some e-peen. I think the board are going the right way about things theese days and they are building a self sufficient club wich will harvest goods for years. Yes some will look at us as a stepping stone for greater things. But is that totally bad? As it is right now we can attract players from france wanting to play for bigger clubs because we show we can let them go there if circumstances appear. But it also allows us to get theese players then rot away like stoke where people go just to hoof it and not play it. If we suddenly got alot of players, like Lille have done lately, and find us in a good position. We can have a crack at making the CL aswell, and spend abit more on quality to do it. Udinese have made it that way aswell, and sevilla or villareal(not sure about this one) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Interesting reasding, he's a much better attacking LB than some of the best in the business, wile the number of players to dribble past him is over 50% less than the others. There are a few areas he is worse at though like keeping possession (although this is affected by playing for us) and heading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yup. “We have got to become more competitive as a football club so players like José don’t want to leave. He has Champions League aspirations and he is waiting to see whether anyone who has qualified for that competition is willing to come in for him. “That is his right and there isn’t much more we can do about it. “We have tried as hard as we can, in the financial situation we are in, to keep him. We offered him an excellent deal, but he doesn’t seem to be interested in signing it at the moment. “It is frustrating – but that is the situation we are in. “It is up to him, but he wants to see what else there is for him.” http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/ Here's to there being no Champions League club having the slightest bit of interest in the lad.

Guest Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Well that's obvious and stands for every club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yep, and we can't let Jose mess us about for the whole window, so I'm hoping the club set him a fair deadline then start really pushing to sell him. He mustn't be that much in demand or there would already be interest from a top club. Maybe outsiders still don't rate him as highly as we do.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 If he comes back on the 4th July and we have a full compliment if players plus cabaye Ba and erding with a few irons in the fire he may look around and think this is actually alright Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit risky obviously. More than a bit risky considering he's set his sights on being at a Champions League club. I don't think what kind of summer we have etc will make a jot of difference unless nobody comes in for him an he has to set his sights substantially lower frankly.

oldtype Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I don't see how we could possibly convince him to stay with our summer activity. If I'm Jose Enrique I'm looking for a club that could offer me CL football now or at least have a very good chance of doing so in a year's time, because I'm good enough to be starting left-back for such a club. No matter how much money we spend this summer, we're not going to be that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much money we spend this summer, we're not going to be that. We're four players away (CM, RM, ST and another winger) from competing for the top six. Spurs got fifth having their strikers combine for something like 3.2 goals in the Premiership. We're not far away. And it's not like we have to spend £10m on each player, too. Someone to work the channels up front and create space for our midfield to operate.. £6m on Erdinc? Someone to pass the ball to our midfielders and dictate the game.. £5m on Cabaye done. Now two midfielders to create havoc. £9m on Zoggy? Yet to be named winger? Barnetta maybe? We'll also have HBA back, and in six months time he'll be our best player.

Taylor Swift Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Of course we are. How far do you think we're away then? How many players do we need to replace for us to compete with Liverpool and Spurs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
