Guest Stephen927 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Bottom line is, he's helped massively to secure our Premiership status. I can't really begrudge the lad a move, I don't think he's been stringing us along, more trying not to disrupt team harmony and disillusion the fans tbh.

Big Geordie Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I wish him well if he moves on - he stayed with us in the Championship, whilst others bailed out at the first opportunity. I'd say his going is more to do with a lack of ambition from Ashley who still seems intent to run the club on the cheap, with the safety first mentality. Which good players in their right mind would come here for just that? We need rid of the fat prick and his henchman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I couldn't care less where he goes if we get £15m for him in his final year of his contract, it's a mental fee, he's never going to demand that again when sold on. In two or three years time when we get players like him through the doors again we will be able to keep them as we will be where they and us want to be, until then we keep getting inflated fees and as long as we invest back in to the club sensibly then there's no reason why it won't happen. Liverpool sold Owen at the height of his career for less than than due to him being in his final year of his contract, it was seen as a smart move, for me same goes here with this deal. He's been wanting to go for some time, and apart from some tv performances from him we've not seen a fully focused player since Carroll left. Time to get excited about a new left back, possibly two for the price of Enrique and having two would leave us with a stronger squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I just wish he would give the club a chance to spend and try to show if they are serious, he is young what's the rush, another season here won't hurt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Skrige - Enrique will have far more an idea of what's going on behind closed doors than we do. If the ambition was there to push the club onwards and have a crack at Europe next season, I reckon he would stay. We all know what the problem is though and the £35million Carroll cash thing is starting to unravel now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 He's served us admirably and stuck with us at our lowest ebb. People shouldn't ever forget that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudil Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Fuck this shit. Honestly, if we show any ambition at all to him, genuine ambition, I think he would stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 if he goes to liverpool for £15m, then those fuckers have given us £50m in less than 6months. Can't see their fans being to happy about that. Would prefer he went to a Spanish side however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I can't really bring myself to hate the guy. Stuck with us during relegation and has given us some absolutely amazing performances. We've known his heart hasn't really been here for quite a while now so it's no shock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know what the problem is though and the £35million Carroll cash thing is starting to unravel now. While I can see where you're coming from BG, I still agree with Skirge - looking at it totally from Jose Enrique's perspective he can "afford" to spend another year here, at the end of which he will have an even longer list of suitors to choose from. If he leaves this summer, he will only have the choice of those few clubs willing to match the fee Ashley demands, whereas should he wait until his contract expires virtually every club in Europe will be after him...

Skirge Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I will only feel anger towards the club for losing him if he leaves, non towards Jose himself. Should be pointed out to him for us to show ambition then that means we need to keep our best players, so selling him is not an option. Year left or not, take the risk refuse to sell and hope we can do well enough before January to convince him to sign a new deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Unless we get crazy money (circa £15m+) early in the window, I'd make him honour his contract personally. Also, I wouldn't sell him to a Premiership rival (again, unless crazy money enters the equation early in the window). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Buy another LB in January IF he is sold then or in the summer when he will leave if we have not done well enough to keep him. I just feel he is such a good player it is worth taking that risk, selling him goes against everything he wants the club to prove to him ambition wise.

midds Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 If he's got no intention of signing another contract with us then the club's got no choice but to sell him while he still has some value. Obviously the option of waiting to see who we bought isn't even on the agenda which is a shame. As long as he does things in the right way and hands a request in and is honest about wanting to play for another club then it's fair enough. I don't want anyone playing for us who doesn't want to be here and if his head's been turned then we need to get the bugger replaced. Best of luck Jose.

Guest Shaun Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 He doesn't want to be at the club and it's showed in some of his recent performances. I'd rather we just sell him off to the highest bidder and give Barton a new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 If he's really set on leaving this summer, could we get him to sign a new contract with a minimum fee release clause for the sole purpose of jacking up the fee? Is that what we've already done with Tiote? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
