Heron Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Fair point, but he kind of was saying what a lot of us were thinking. Then those people should take a long hard look at themselves as well. I do. I look at myself frequently, and I do get hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Jose for me, was the best left-back I've seen in a Toon shirt and I believe deep deep down he left for personal reasons relating to ambition rather than money. I also believe certain promises were spoken of but were never met and that too helped persuade him that moving was in his best interests. I can live with that. However, he decided to leave NUFC, my beloved club, who I would give everything to play for just the once and therefore he can fuck right off as far as I'm concerned. I'll not boo him though, I'll remain silent. By the way, I've saw quite a lot of him this season and he has generally looked a shadow of his former self. I do not for one minute believe he is personally and professionally happy as a Liverpool player. Not fully anyway and certainly nowhere near as he was for us. The same applies to Carroll. He has picked up a winners medal at Liverpool, will no doubt take him more money but he is playing for a lesser club on and off the field and I think he knows it. At Newcastle he was part of the furniture, a cornerstone of what we were or are about, he was a key player and figure and respected and loved on the stands. At Liverpool he is a shirt, a number.

henke Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Couldnt care less about the guy one way or the other. By the time he left he'd developed into one of the best LBs around, but it was clear for 6 months that he wanted away. So fuck him. I won't be at the game sunday, but if i was i wouldnt boo him. That said i certainly wouldn't applaud him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 JOSE ENRIQUE delivered a withering assessment of where Newcastle were heading when he left the North-east for Liverpool last summer. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/311670/No-way-Jose-Enrique? “The club are allowing all the major players in the team to go,” he said. “The club will never again fight among the top six with this policy.” The Spanish defender could not have been more wrong. While his new club’s season has been a painful crawl towards the business end of the Premier League, Newcastle have never dropped below seventh in the table. Liverpool are eight points behind sixth-placed Newcastle, with just one win in their last six league matches. As Enrique prepared to return to his former club yesterday, Newcastle manager Alan Pardew refused to dwell on his former full-back’s bitter words, except to say: “Maybe Jose felt it was all falling apart but sometimes there is a bigger picture. Sometimes the players can’t see that. Jose couldn’t see it.” Pardew may even refrain tomorrow from pinning Enrique’s comment up on the dressing-room wall, but you can be sure finishing above Liverpool this season will give him enormous satisfaction. The club will never again fight among the top six with this policy Jose Enrique “At the moment it’s not happening for them,” he said. “I have been in Kenny Dalglish’s position. He will be frustrated. “Sometimes it’s hard to put a finger on it. What they will be looking for on Sunday is a confidence lift and a draw isn’t a good result for them. They need to win. “We’re not secure of sixth place, so we aren’t thinking of them. From our perspective, we have to try to get the three or four wins which I believe we will need to guide us home. If we can get four or five wins we could finish fifth. “The last six games are where we could kick on because the pressure is going to fall on Chelsea and Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal, more so than us. “People keep looking at us, saying what a surprise we have been, but we have been there all year in the top six. If we can get there in the last six games, who knows?” Pardew’s finest moment as Newcastle manager was against Liverpool on his first day in charge, a thumping 3-1 home victory, but his worst also involves the Reds, who took striker Andy Carroll off his playing roster for £35SHrSmillion last January, just days after the Magpies boss promised fans he would not be sold. Pardew said: “It was a massive win against Liverpool, not just for me but for owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias. It was their decision to bring me here, so it was a big game for them too. Everything has gone on from that so you can’t underestimate just how important it was. “With Carroll leaving I had to drive out the gate with fans bombarding me about why we were selling him. “At the time we weren’t safe in the Premier League and had to fight to get ourselves out of trouble. “Yes, it was the toughest day for me because we genuinely felt he wouldn’t be sold. I’m not just talking about myself, but Derek and Mike. “We looked at each other a week before and said no one was going to pay over the odds for him in January. The Fernando Torres sale to Chelsea made all that go out of the window. “I had said Carroll wouldn’t be sold and that just fuelled the agenda that perhaps we were a selling club and had no desire to do anything. But we have proven that wrong. There was a game plan.” The game plan was to buy Demba Ba (free transfer), Yohan Cabaye (£4.8m) and Papiss Cisse (£9m), whose combined cost is less than half the sum Liverpool paid for Carroll. They have lit up the Premier League this season, with the result that Newcastle are level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea. “Of course they have proved great value and we put great pride in the homework we do before we sign players,” added Pardew. “You also need a bit of luck, hoping they will settle. But money is important in this game. “Manchester City wouldn’t be competing with United without huge investment and Liverpool’s shirt sponsorship dwarfs any sponsorship we have got, it probably trebles it.” Having money at Liverpool has been the easy part. Spending it wisely over the last two decades has proven far more difficult.The club are allowing all the major players to go. Seriously, do you think it is the fault of the players? Newcastle will never again fight to be among the top six with this policy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? It's certain that Liverpool will never achieve anything during his playing career. But it's possible for NUFC? Absolutely certain? You're having a laugh. When we were relegated who would've thought we'd be where we are now? Where were Man City three/four years ago. Nothing's certain. Edit: I hold nothing against Enrique. Based on all the evidence present Ashley and company appeared to be a bunch of incompetent boobs. They got a lot wrong for a long time. And now they're getting a lot right. No reason that Liverpool couldn't do the same and turn it around very, very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye you did well for us lad but you made a tit of yourself with some of your comments since leaving and during contract talks I think he had no real intentions to renew.

Taylor Swift Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 PS. He's the only I feel bad for. He gave his all for us and his decision to leave wasn't because he didn't enjoy his time here or whatever, it was because of the shit that Llambias had pulled for the past 3 years. We're heading in the right direction now but I completely understand why Jose thought different last year so I still love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
