Guest DairylandMag Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I get a little tired of people talking about Enrique being loyal because he stayed after relegation. I don't recall teams tripping over themselves to come sign him. The guy was on pretty substantial wages (and really hadn't played up to that level yet), so of course he was going to stay.

Guest BooBoo Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Exactly. It wasn't loyalty that kept Jose here after relegation. It was because his performances in his first two years were poor-average and nobody was interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Being a club in our position and considered a "selling club" has little to do with Ashley and a lot more to do with reality. Not sure to be honest. We could finish 8th tomorrow. Considering Liverpool will probably finish 6th, why should we be selling our best players to them? We should be buying to compete with them really. Ive asked this before and never seem to get an answer, but apart from Carroll, who else has Ashley sold who we didnt want him too?

BeloEmre Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Meanwhile, the Sunday Sun can reveal that Jose Enrique’s agent is scheduled to meet club secretary Lee Charnley this week as United step up their efforts to cling onto the left-back. The club fear his head has been turned by rival clubs, but the player is yet to give any indication that he wants to leave. A prospective move to Liverpool has been complicated by the Reds unwillingness to match his wages – after Ashley Cole he is the best paid left-back in the league. Enrique is represented by his brother and the club will press him for a decision on his future so they can decide whether to lodge a second bid for Cheikh M’Bengue, Toulouse’s top-rated France under-21 international full-back. http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/05/22/newcastle-united-set-to-sign-international-midfielder-79310-28739478/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ykmkmdd Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 after Ashley Cole he is the best paid left-back in the league. Not sure if that's right (smells a bit like more club PR) but if it is I would feel a lot more confident in keeping him.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Well he hasn't had a new deal since we signed him, and we were handing out pretty daft contracts at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I think a big reason for his wanting to jump ship is due to Hughton leaving. Before he left everything was rosy, after we've heard the "Need to get a better manager than Hughton" and "I'm not signing a new contract". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case of Enrique, I think if a good bid had come in he would have gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Well Sunderland did show interest in him and so did Chelsea (IIRC) last season in the championship during January. Right? Aye but probably paper talk. Let's face it, since relegation he's been fantastic, the best left back in my memory anyway. But regardless if how good he is, if he wants away there is really nothing we can do; as fans, as a club. His agent will have turned his head no doubt, because he has often spoke about how happy he is here etc. WHEN he goes, probably to Liverpool, I won't boo him but I won't appluad him either and I really hope he lives to regret it.

Jack Flash Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Well Sunderland did show interest in him and so did Chelsea (IIRC) last season in the championship during January. Right? “I don’t care about Sunderland. Even if the newspapers said Chelsea, I wouldn’t care. I worry for my team – I love the city, I love the club and I don’t care about signing for another team. “I don’t read the papers because I don’t understand English that well! Some players were joking with me about what it said. I want to go back to the Premier League, that is true, but I want to go back to the Premier League with Newcastle. This is a big, big, big club in England and it is important that it gets back into the Premier League.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
