Some of you people are emotionally unbalanced. These comments mean very little other than Jose Enrique is a footballer who aspires to win medals. Like every other footballer.

 

Come the Summer anything could happen. We could have a great end to the season and show some ambition in the transfer market, which could make him consider a few more years at SJP, or, yes, he COULD be sold. We'll have to wait and see.

 

This isn't even remotely close to being as cut and dry as people make out.

 

Chillax.

Speaking of Liverpool, the 'reds' have looked at you for next season ...

I have read in English newspapers that teams like Liverpool, Manchester United and Aston Villa want me and that is flattering. They are big teams in England. Right now I'm happy at Newcastle but I do not close the door to anything. I love the fans here and the city. I have suffered with the team, with the relegation two years ago and have to be realistic. Newcastle is not acting right, they have made promises they have not kept and I am ambitious. I want to play in the Champions League, major competitions and to go to the Spanish team.

 

You have 16 months to complete your contract, Do you intend to stay in Newcastle?

I've always said I'm fine in this team. It is true that they have promised things and have not followed through. Like any player, I want to win titles not just stay up. I want to say to my children in the future I've played the Champions League or for the Spanish team. I am ambitious and I do not close the doors to anything.

 

Source please, important points here ...

Ran it through my Miami Spanglish translator:

I'm pretty sure that the failure to break into the national squad will have a big bearing on Enrique's future. Players in England tend to get ignored unless they are playing CL football so if Ma U or Liverpool are interested that will be a big lure. Can't see Villa being in the race though, just because they are interested doesn't mean he wants to go there. How we end the season and how we spend the Carroll money will be the deciding factor in keeping him here.

I wonder how it would affect him if he was called up before the end of the season. Would he be convinced that he can stay here and get recognition, or would a taste of it (and possible influence from others in the Spanish camp) make him want to move upwards even more strongly than before?

Interesting point, not sure the Spain thing is even that important for him yet. They have an amazing squad and he's still young.

 

I guess trophies with his club side might be more the issue, for some reason every decent footballer seems to believe they should be playing for a top 4 team. N'Zogbia and Bernard have both recently proved that that doesn't always happen.

 

Not saying Enrique will be like them obviously, he's clearly the best LB outside Chelsea.

Baines, tbh.

Like any player of ability Enrique will have ambitions, both personal and with his club. He's been one of the best settled foreign players we've ever had here and if we finished the season fighting for Europe, showed our intent in the transfer market and gave him a contract close to what he could get elsewhere I think he'd want to stay. The only thing we can't do is get his national team to give him a cap, but we could give him hope that next season we'll be a team the rest of Europe can't ignore.

I wonder if given the choice Man U would go for Baines ahead of Enrique? Baines is fantastic going forward but I would hold that Enrique is the better defender and not far behind in getting forward either.

I would have agreed 100% with that, until you used Chillax.
