Rocker Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Think he will stay to be honest. He's probably already suprised that a super club hasn't already came in for him. As much as I love the lad, I can't help but think he thought we'd be inundated with offers from massive clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I have a feeling he will stay until January at least. Would be amazing if we could get him to sign a new contract. I'd be happy for him to play next season as well as it will mean he'll have some decent players to aim for in comparison to next season. Still watch the highlights of his first half against Blackburn and feel sorry for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Why get him on deadline day when they could get him earlier for probably less money? Look at it the other way and a similar bid would not get refused by our board on deadline day imho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Don't think it's impossible for him to get there (Barca or Real) one day. He has improved that much over the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Some RAWK bellend: Not sure where to put this but, a mate of mine saw Enrique at Newcastle airport with his pals and he rekons they cornered him and asked him if he was staying. He started off saying he didn't know, then when they mentioned Liverpool he strangely said it all depended on Swansea. My mate says he thought the way he said it was as if there was a deal in place and it was just waiting for Newcastle to buy the left back Taylor from Swansea. Could be shit, could be exaggerated, could be true. Just thought i'd mention it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Finished four points off last season despite the Hodgson debacle and all their off-field instability. If they get Enrique I have little doubt they'll be back challenging for 5th at the very least next season. He'll also be called up almost instantly. And they pay more. Et cetera, et cetera.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I'd be mortified if he chose them. Arsenal ok, still not going to win owt but he will at least play in Europe. I reckon we need to get on to Barca to persuade them to take him for £10m+. I think that's the only outcome I'd settle for. Not even sure I want him to stay anymore, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle/9119183.Bridge_not_required_as_Enrique___s_replacement/ Bridge not required as Enrique’s replacement 8:30am Monday 4th July 2011 By Scott Wilson JOSE Enrique’s future will be decided by the end of the week, with Liverpool and Arsenal poised to battle it out for the in-demand Newcastle United full-back. But while Alan Pardew has been offered an opportunity to sign Manchester City’s Wayne Bridge, the Magpies manager will look elsewhere in an attempt to replace the Spaniard. Having entered the final year of his current deal on Friday, Enrique is due to link up with the rest of the Newcastle squad for the first day of pre-season training later today. However, the chances of him still being a Magpies player when they play their opening friendly at Darlington a week on Friday now appear remote. The left-back has been the subject of considerable interest all summer, but things stepped up a gear at the end of last week when Arsenal admitted defeat in their attempt to keep Gael Clichy. Clichy will turn down an offer to move to Anfield in order to join Manchester City, meaning both Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger are on the look-out for a new left-back. Dalglish identified Enrique as a leading target towards the end of last season, and is expected to make a formal offer for the Spaniard within the next 48 hours. Ideally, he would like to have Enrique on board before Liverpool’s players start pre-season training, but competing interest from Wenger could yet complicate matters. Having failed to keep Clichy at the Emirates, Wenger accepts a need to secure a tried-and-tested replacement quickly, and sources in London claim the Frenchman has instructed Arsenal officials to pursue Enrique vigorously this week. While Pardew has publicly expressed a desire to keep the Spanish left-back on Tyneside, privately he has accepted that he will lose his services. However, the prospect of Liverpool and Arsenal entering into a bidding war for the 25-year-old represents something of a best-case scenario for the Magpies boss, who has already stepped up his own search for a replacement. Pardew thought he had signed Swansea left-back Neil Taylor for £1m last month, but the Welshman’s contract situation has seriously complicated matters. Talks remain ongoing, but Newcastle have placed their negotiations into the hands of their lawyers, and at this stage, a swift resolution looks unlikely. Whatever happens, the Magpies will not be increasing their £1m offer, so Pardew, who has already made an unsuccessful attempt to sign Toulouse’s Cheik M’Bengue since the end of last season, is exploring alternative options. He has been offered an opportunity to sign Bridge, either permanently or on loan, but has shown little desire to push through a deal. Bridge’s wages, which are understood to run to around £80,000-a-week, are a major stumbling block, even if City offer to pay up to half of them just to get the former England international off their books. At the age of 30, the former Chelsea defender does not fit the model that Mike Ashley is looking to follow, and while the arrival of Sol Campbell last summer proved the Magpies owner is willing to make an occasional exception, a move for Bridge is extremely unlikely.

Mr Logic Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 If Enrique leaves, increasingly likely by latest reports, then I hope to fuck they've got plans above and beyond N. Taylor. He was most likely fine as a reserve LB preparing to fill in at a later stage, but doubt very much he's ready to step straight into the breach.
