Alberto2005 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The quotes attributed to Jose are not accurate to be honest. They are on Marca if anyone who speaks Spanish can translate? The Daily Mail have loosely "translated" Joses words back into English. And being the Daily Mail, have changed the construction and context of the quotes to unsettle us. How do you know this if you cant speak Spanish? Fucking hell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 My translation, he looks genuinely pissed at your ownership actually: Do you think the exit of Andy Carroll will affect the team? Yes, but it's not just Andy. He was a great striker for us, won all the high balls and was an important player for Newcastle. But other players left too and we have a short squad now. Some of my colleagues are debuting in the Premier League and we lack backups for certain positions. We all know we have a short squad and if we want to play a "top team"... if there are injuries we'll have problems. I have been promised that all the money of the Carroll sale will be reinvested. I hope it's that way... Speaking of Liverpool, the reds are looking at you for their next campaign... I have read in some English papers that teams like Liverpool, Manchester United, Aston Villa want me and that's flattering. They are big English teams. Currently I'm fine in Newcastle but I don't close my door to anything. I love the fans and I love the city. I have suffered with the team, with the relegation two years ago... and we have to be realistic. Newcastle hasn't been acting well, they made promises that haven't been fulfilled and I'm ambitious. I want to play in the Champions League, important competitions, and be able to play for the national team. You have 16 months left in my contract, are you going to stay in Newcastle? I always said that I feel fine in this team. It's true that I have been promised things that haven't been fulfilled. Like any other player, I want to win trophies and I don't want my aim to just be staying up. I want to be able to tell my sons that I played in the Champions League or for Spain. I'm ambitious and I won't close my door to anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 From what i've been told, AC bid 12m for Jose in January, the club said no and that they wouldn't sell for less than 25m. The guy's a good source, thought he was taking the piss at first but if the journos are picking up on murmurs like this now, it could quite possibly be true. The idea that we wouldn't sell Enrique for less than £25m never mind £12m when his contract is up after next season is so fucking ridiculous that you should feel ashamed to post this garbage.

Tachikoma Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 AC Milan bought two left backs in January. Its a non-starter (and more lazy jounalism). Nah man he's gone, the Daily Mail says so. On second thoughts, you might be right! Lots of similarities to the AC transfer here, i.e. transfer rumours popping up in the press from seemingly nowhere.

On second thoughts, you might be right! Lots of similarities to the AC transfer here, i.e. transfer rumours popping up in the press from seemingly nowhere.

The idea that we wouldn't sell Enrique for less than £25m never mind £12m when his contract is up after next season is so f***ing ridiculous that you should feel ashamed to post this garbage. Don't shoot the messenger, the guy actually works within NUFC. I don't think the club genuinely values Jose at 25m but i'm certain now that some serious enquiries were made for a 12m fee in January (from AC) whereas before i didn't think Milan had made contact. On the 25m front, if that bit is true, i think it's a case of the club humouring Milan and just seeing if they'd bite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShearMagic Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Why should he put it towards the playing staff? Serious question. Because he's the owner of Newcastle United? If he'd rather piss away his considerable spare cash frivolously on some roulette table what does that say about his priorities? He can do what he likes with his own money. The fans have given him nothing but shit, he's not even a fan of the club - but he should use his own money on the club? Get real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 You guys are trying to argue that someone who chooses to become an owner of a football club, shouldnt be judged on their ability as an owner by whether they actually invest any of their own money to improve the team they have chosen to buy?

Cronky Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 We've got a new policy on salaries and it was always going to be difficult when the contracts of the high earners were coming up for renewal. It looks like Jose has had an offer from Liverpool which we won't match. I'm not convinced that Liverpool's prospects are better than ours in the long term, but they're a bigger name for sure. I think he'll be off. Barton I'm not so sure about, because while he may get more money elsewhere I don't think one of the bigger clubs will want to take the risk.
