Raconteur Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I honestly just dont see it happen, too much money involved (Jose) Like I said, I don't think it's as cut and dried as "will NEVER let him go for free." I totally understand the logic of trying to peddle him now - money towards a replacement we'll need in the summer anyway, a cheaper replacement might mean money saved on wages, resolving the situation so we can move forward. But there's logic to keeping him too - a year's service at the standard we know he's capable of playing at might mean a few extra million in placing prizemoney, putting off replacing Jose Enrique until next summer and keeping alive the possibility of him staying. I wouldn't want to put money on either possibility frankly... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 So he didnt say the club were happy to let him run his contract down? Cheers The club have withdrew an offer, but Pardew says they may offer one in the future. If they weren't happy with him running down his contract, they'd renew negotiations. If they didn't want him at the club, they wouldn't talk of the possibility of renewing negotiations. That says pretty clearly to me that they're comfortable (happy, even) with the situation. Where's the flaw in the logic that prompted the derision? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Antec Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 If we let him go for free, there'll be no money next year for a decent replacement so I'm sure they'll try to force him out before the window closes which I have to say I agree with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the flaw in the logic that prompted the derision? All i meant was Pardew looks like he is making the best out of the situation in his usual much talk/little power way he has, his words are by and large meaningless in any talk of contracts imo. While Pardew(the manager) will no doubt be happy to have Barton here to use this season there is no indication that is matched where it counts(the club) that was my only point.

Yep but that might already have gone on new nets. £5M now for Jose should give us £5M for a replacement, no excuses. Unless we go for a free transfer of course, we all now know how expensive they are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you like Shane Ferguson, but as a defender he is completely unproven. Enrique has the speed and power to stop any attacker whatever his attributes, whereas Ferguson looks like he could be knocked over by a gust of wind. In fact he's already been knocked out of our optimistic hopes he could play this role through injury in the pre-season friendlies. Thank the lucky stars I say.

Despite his appearance, I don't think Ferguson is that much of a pushover. But my point is that if he's the number 3 left back, he won't get the right opportunities.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 In APs post match interview he says everyone who was fit played except Jose and Haris through injury. The way he said it made it sound like only Haris was rested because of injury Probably reading too much into it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
