Baggio Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 We should try and get Barragan. He was brilliant the last few times i've seen him play. They are both U21 internationals that look like they can go all the way. It will also help this kid to settle in aswell. Agreed, although i still can't understand how he failed big time when he was in Liverpool. Was never really given a chance, i've heard he's turned out to be canny as well. Don't Liverpool still have option to buy him back for like a Million or so. Benitez knows he's a good prospect, but probably realized the only way he could get games was to sell him. Why not loan him out then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I'm not too optimistic about this news. I'd love it to happen but until I hear something from Sam, like we have just before everyone else signed I won't be getting too excited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Anyone remember "Pistone wings Inter Toon"? I had actually seen Pistone play brilliantly at Left Back and had even discussed it with my Italian mate before the transfer. We had watched him for Inter together and i had said that i really rated him. Anyway, Pistone signs and he calls me up to say congrats and all that and wished him the best for us. Carlo really loves NUFC bless him, although he is Torino to the core. Utter wank though Its not as if we have a good record with Spanish players or even players signed from the Spanish league! I reckon that the times they are a changing though..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I simply don't know what to type. Everyone has expressed my feelings but thought i had to post in this thread anyway. easy...type this "by the sounds of it a good signing,for all i know little about him,it is addressing a position we need strengthening urgently,however i will be happier when he actually signs as a lot can go wrong between the clubs agreeing a fee and the player actually signing".

Guest optimistic nit Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 "The left lateral defense of 21 years had a successful passage in the Submarine - it arrived coming from the Valencia -" Looks like he arrived literally out of the blue as well as figeratively. Last thing we need is a playboy superstar blowing fans money on alternative forms of transport though. Probably why the english media never caught on to the signing. It must have taken him over a week to get here, arriving at dusk in a cove somewhere off witley bay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be arsed reading the whole thread, but I understand that we've got no quotes from either Allardyce nor Enrique? I'll just stay optimistic with a hint of cautiosness til it's all settled What a day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 None of tomorrow's papers, at least none of the ones at News Now so far (the broadsheets basically) are carrying any mention of this, nothing about the Serb either. Weird. I'm pretty confident this'll go through like, doubt Villarreal put any old shite on the website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Enrique was supposed to have been involved in a friendly or something and left, I'm sure I read something like that so maybe he's on his way, it would be a good idea to get him in the ground on Sunday so he can see what sort of crowd we get for a meaningless friendly. He must be interested anyway or he would have remained with the squad insted of leaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodson Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 From a swedish Villareal fan site : Vänsterbacken José Enrique kom från Valencia förra sommaren, han kom billigt och hade inga krav på sig. Efter några månader hade han dock tagit en ordinarie plats och var en av säsongens bästa spelare. Detta räckde dock inte för Llaneza som istället hämtade in den spanska landslagsspelaren Joan Capdevila. José Enrique skulle (helt oförklarligt) få en plats på bänken den här säsongen, men så blir det inte. Newcastle har gjort ett av sina bästa köp under klubbens historia och har värvat den unga Enrique. I Newcastle kommer han att vara den ordinarie vänsterbacken bara han klarar av tempot, den gode Kylskåpet. Det är inget snack om saken; jag tror att Enrique har tagit en ordinarie landslagsplats om några år. Allting känns bara så tungt. Enrique var en av mina personliga favoriter och U-21 landslagsmannen säljs utan omtanke. Vi kan ju inte byta ut hela laget varje säsong. För fan för dig Llaneza, för fan för dig. Vad vi fick för José Enrique är ännu okänt och än har det inte kommit fram några uppgifter om hur långt Josés kontrakt sträcker sig, men det känns som att det inte spelar någon roll just nu. I sådana här lägen vill man bara lägga sig ner och gråta. Translation: Enrique came from Valencia last year on the cheap without any demands on him. Soon he had taken a regular place in the line up and he was one of the best players last season. This wasnt enough for Llaneza who brought in the spanish international Joan Capdevila. Enrique was set for a place on the bench (unexplainable) but that is not going to happen now. Newcastle has made one of their best buys ever in the young Enrique, he will be their regular left back if he can cope with the EPL tempo, the good fridge. No doubt about it, I believe Enrique will be a regular spanish international in a few years. Everything feels so heavy. Enrique was one of my personal favourites and the U21 international is being sold without thought. We cant change our team every season. Fuck off Llaneza, fuck off. What we get for Enrique and how long his contract is is still not known but it doesnt really matter right now. In situations like this you just want to cry.
