wormy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 1 on 1, Enrique's very hard to beat. Happened only 9 times last season, compared to A. Cole (38), Clichy (26), Baines (24), Evra (23). Where's that stat from? Fucking insane if accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 f***ing prick Wanted champions league football Goes to non champions league club f*** off Went to a club with ambition, can't blame him. Massive shame and massive loss. Bye Jose. Great full back. Agree. Really we have as much potential to push on as Liverpool. However they have owners, staff and fans that demand champions league and are spending the kind of money needed to get there. We are more concerned with surviving in the premier league and becoming self sufficient spending the minimum needed, as fans a decent proportion are beaten down and willing to accept the mid table is acceptable. The gamble with Liverpool is failure to qualify for the champions league and in all reality they will. I think regardless if they end up in the shit they are so "cherished" in the footballing world someone will come in and save them. Summed up I can see why Jose is going, I don't like it or his decision but I can see his thinking. We lack the immediate ambition he wants and Liverpool look like an up and coming prospect, Its the clubs fault he isn't convinced of ours. I think he could do better though. The price better be good.

TRon Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Must mean we have Pieters surely ? I would assume so. Hope he's good as he's got massive boots to fill. Jose is the best full back I've seen in over 20 years of following NUFC. harsh on beresford. Beresfrd was good going forward but not a patch on Jose defensively IMO.

Cole (38), Clichy (26), Baines (24), Evra (23). Mainly because they attacked the best back peddling right back in history and didn't need to go left.

Ketsbaia Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 So thats that. Barcelona, Arsenal, Man United I'd understand - but Liverpool? He's been my favourite player and I'm not going to be a twat to him, but I'm saddened by the whole thing. I already stay away from Liverpool matches after January, so this would be even more painful. Pretty pissed off at the whole situation tbh, especially as I don't believe Pieters is near Jose's level. Gutted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Just to set a few things straight, Enrique has said that he wants to play for a club with ambition and spending money that matches ambition, not that he wants to play for a CL club right now. Liverpool are a damn sight more ambitious than us at this current time and are thus closer to breaking the Europe and the top four than we are. I'm gutted he's gone, but it's been coming and we've not done enough (IMO) to keep him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the fact that Enrique is great at bombing forward as well and you have the complete full back for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
