Dr Venkman Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 We'll not see a better left-back at this club than Enrique who is fucking immense defensively and is such a quality footballer with the ball at his feet. I never panic when someone runs at him. Look at today, he had Anelka in his pocket and at one point during the game did a "chop" skill to get the ball away from Anelka and with it away from our own corner area where lesser players would have gave a corner away, kicked it long or out for a throw-in or would have been dispossessed. What did Enrique do when he did the chop and got away? He ran and ran before being edged off the ball some 60 yards away from our own end. I actually agree with Merson, he's one of the best in that position in world football and he's only 23. I don't think he offers quite enough in the very final third but that I think is down to options. I remember many a time during the game Enrique on the ball in the final third and no-one ran past him to be played in while movement in the box was static. Lesser full-backs would have just whipped in any old cross to be eaten up by your Terry but Enrique is clever and either kept possession or switched play rather than blindly swing in a cross. I think he's our only genuine world-class player. which is why unless we get offered daft money I believe we should make him see out his contract. Fuck Kenny Dalglish and the Kop. totally agree, another years progress and he might wanna stay. doubt it'll happen though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Is it just me, or is momentum swinging back in our favour now? Don't want to get too optimistic, but we can definitely woo him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Beating West Brom won't give Enrique any assurances that he'll get in the Spain side. I think that's the be-all-end-all when it comes to Jose. He's playing brilliant football and knows he deserves a shot at the national side, so it's up to the club to put him on the map where that's concerned. For whatever reason, being in the bottom half of the English league is holding him back. An early, good (and probably expensive) signing would do wonders for the club, as it'll convince one or two that we're serious about our future.

jdckelly Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 hopefully we can keep him, but if he wants to leave for a team challenging for the league and to get international football I won't hold it against him or the club, shit happens to clubs like us all the time and if he doesn't sign a new deal sharpish the club should look to replace him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Ha, touche i guess. All i mean is that we're gonna need more than simply a strong end to the season to convince some of our big hitters to stick around. It's a message to the alleged Ashley mindframe of 'ah, we don't need to buy, these lot are clearly good enough'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maze Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 If we sell this guy to Man Utd or, god forbid, Liverpool in exchange for Konchesky, I'm out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 When he leaves this summer I really fucking hope it's for a better team and not some sideways step - that would really piss me off. And preferably out of the league. I would hate to have him play against us or see him playing week-in/week-out in the same league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 For just one week can we have no talk of Enrique leaving. I want to have a happy week where we remember our 'ups' rather than our potential 'downs'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I see him playing every week for Birmingham, I'll be really disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Reet. You guys who have a lot of spare bedsheets put aside for 'boycoutts' and 'rioyting' should make one to beg Jose stay. You have a week! The kind of thing that comes back to bite you on the ass if/when he leaves anyway and we look like mugs. Making a bedsheet with that written on it is the equivalent of telling a girl you love her (and not knowing her response) - risking the guy she actually loves rinsing you... in subsequent seasons... and having sex with her in your house.. and their house... (okay, my extended metaphor has gone awry). My point is: It's a gamble! It's very much just, er, like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Straw poll, would you rather sell him (let's say for about £7m - bearing in mind he only has a year left), or let him go for nowt next summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'd risk letting him go for nowt and hopefully have a positive season which might make him want to stay anyway. Ashley wouldn't do that in a million years though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
