Jose may not be on his way!
As yet, talks are still yet to get underway but it was thought that Enrique wanted to see signs of ambition and improvement in the playing staff over the summer before he committed to a new deal. Don’t we all!
This lead to widespread speculation regarding the future of the player who, if you listen to Phil Thompson or the gutter press, is on his way to Liverpool in the summer.
However his comments today seem to suggest that he could yet stay at Newcastle. Whilst remaining coy on any talk of a new deal Enrique was keen to paint a bright picture of the current squad and recognises that things could have been much better had we not had to contend with a lengthly injury list for a large part of the season.
“We’ll see what happens next year and which players come to us,” Enrique told The Chronicle. “We have a great squad here though, and we have been very unlucky with injuries. Next season we will hopefully get new players and try to build on a top-10 finish.”
The Spaniard continued: “To finish in the top 10 is important this season and it would be very nice for us to finish ahead of Sunderland.”
“I remember they were happy to see us go down, but now we are in Premier League and we have been better than them so far – it’s important we keep going.”
It certainly seems from his words that Jose is thinking of staying for next season at least as there is a lot of talk “we” and “next season” involved. It is of course his right to stay as he still has one year remaining on his current deal, but the ultimate aim should be to ensure that we can sign up him up for longer.
I’m still not convinced either way to be honest. My gut feeling is that Jose will be away in the summer, but there is at least still some hope of keeping him at the club. Only time will tell I guess.
If he goes, he goes. A left-back is not vitally important to a team although it does of course help things if you have a good one like Jose. If he stays it will be a massive boost to club and to the fans who adore and chant his name on a regular basis and will show that the club mean what they said when they claimed they wanted to keep hold of their better players. Where they failed with Andy Carroll perhaps they’ll succeed with Jose?
Once again, we’ll have to wait and see. « Evolution, not revolution. | Great expectations. »

My source in Spain says that he will stay……..unfortunately, I’m my source in Spain and have been known to be wildly inaccurate with my predictions
I hope he stays, but either way I just hope it’s sorted quickly!
richie,
His comments suggest to me that he’s prepared to run his contract down or at least have that option…
I dont think that’s an option MA & DL will let happen?!? Discuss…
We believe that the Newcastle Club will sell Jose.
We also believe that the Newcastle Club have agreed personal terms with Seb Larsson.
Hope he stays, depends on who comes in though. Liverpool WILL be making an offer. Whether it’s accepted or not will be another story.
Not great they are knocking on Europes door either
It would be really great if we can keep Jose. If we lose him it could really hurt jonas’ game
TGS
*The Famous Newcastle Club
“Not great they are knocking on Europes door either”…..they do that to check if anyones in, then climb through the window
Good point Moreno. Liverpool have a slight chance of making the champions league. With the money that John Henry is willing to splash for them, they could possibly offer enough for the club and Jose to accept it
Andrew, Liverpool won’t make the Champions League now, they might make the Europa League though.
From what a can gather Spurs and Liverpool don’t actually want to qualify for the Europa and see it has a hindrance so it will be interesting when Liverpool play Spurs
All true dan. I was just saying that there was a mathematical possibility of it.
It is a hindrance to league performance no doubt-but thats only if you intend to play to win it. I imagine both teams would still like to qualify-if Spurs drop out of Europe then they’ll have trouble bringing in new/better faces into the team, and some players might fancy a team actually playing in Europe. Liverpool similarly might not be fussed about winning and might go for an early exit-but the fact that a team is actually “in” europe is still a handy draw and I’ve no doubt dalglish would want that in order to grab some more players…Like Jose for example.
Yeah, they better bloody not
My sources say that he is staying. Of course, my “sources” are Richie
Adios Jose
whats the crack with jose? is he away?
alreet tony mate
MDS…nowt wrong with that source….apart from the predictions
It’s strange how no one seems to be questioning the interpretation this time.
If there were indications that he was looking to leave there would be numerous people saying his English is poor and Spanish doesn’t translate very well into English.
I just hope he does sign up and I will start and feel reassured we are heading in the right direction.
Optimism from you Bobby?
Alreet Army,
bobby….some things translate easier than others, believe me I know more than most. I’m not talking about this article but past ones I have asked wor lass if it’s translated literally could it be taken the wrong way, alot can but past quotes like “I love it here, I love the city,fans” etc, can’t be misinterpreted……personally, I think he’s doing the usual footballers trick of covering all his options with sweeping statements
BSN9 has been re-booted by Wor Toonsy
Has Ice been on today
Haven’t seen ice for a few days now. hope he is well
TGS
Not yet
Share toonsy’s sentiments at 25
dan,
Who is your Avatar?
Ben Arfa
Bloody hell Dan, he’s put some weight on like.
Army said earlier he looked like the terminator
Dan,
I will be worried if HBA looks like that when he returns.
Terminator? Malcolm X more like. Well almost
HBA, Kieron Dyer’s French cousin on that photo
Dan,
Sorry mate but it is a shocker
TGS, defiantly if he needs glasses to play
Toonsy, I didn’t know who Malcolm X was until I just Googled his name there and he really does
Dan,
There must be more flatering pics of HBA? Surely.
I think Jose’s just playing games, still think he will leave because he wants to leave. He said he would only talk when we are safe so now is the time to sort it all out, sooner the better so we can try and sign a replacment if he leaves.
If Jose leaves I think we should bring Bernard back. Duno how old he is but he always makes me laugh!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIsjWcLrTsU
TGS, I’ve changed it, don’t know if it’s anymore flattering.
I’ll leave that for you to decide
TGS – It’s fashion man. Get with the times
toonsy,
Are you sleeping alright?
Noticed that your posting as early as 5am
Hope your not stressing
Toonsy just sent you a wee article, no idea how long it should be. Picture’s a bit weird mind
I’m running dangerously low on article ideas
Writers block
http://www.tottenhamhotspurs.tv/forum/players-lounge/10549-naughty-pic-michael-dawson.html
You can write an article on that
Not safe for work by the way, lol
Toonsy, what’s your top 5…..
FJ
One of the comments “Good job Sol wasnt there”
Dan –
FJ – Err no thanks bud
fj,
Just trying to help toonsy
toonsy,
Possible future threads:
1) Review of the season (highs and lows)
2) Best Goal
3) Review of Alan Pardew
4) Realistic aspirations for next season
5) Best foreign imports and why?
6) Worst foreign imports and why?
7) Set up a blog fantasy league
Ice must be out grafting with batty
TGS –
1 – I want to wait until the end for that one.
2 – Same as really.
3 – Good idea.
4 – I think I did that t’other day?
5 – Aye, that’s noted
6 – Same
7 – Will do that over the summer for the new season
How about a blog mocking Fernando Torres?
No reason why, I just find it comical he has been crap for 2 years now and people still say it is form.
£50m for a crap striker.
Toonsy
Do one about Seb Larrson
Yes yes yes to a fantasy premier league. Next year I will finally get rid of my toon bias of trying not to have players playing against us in. Also I’ve had Shola in my team for way too long even if he did score at the weekend!
toonsy,
What about a referendum regarding the right for BSN9 to continue posting
TGS
Lol!! Love the seb larson idea
We like this player
toonsy,
What about a referendum regarding the right for BSN9 to continue posting
—————————
Because it would probably have the same results as a referendum on eliminating the beer tax.
We think a Larsson article is a bad idea as we believe that Toonsy wouldn’t be able to resist mocking the grandaddy of NUFC blogging or speaking about himself in the third person whilst telling everyone what to think
I’ve got one article for the morra. Only two more to find now
@62
Grandaddy
With a sensational headline which goes something like this…….
“Seb Larrsson Signs 5 Year Deal At The Famous Newcastle Club”
…….and then go on about how it’s a possibility Pardew saw him play on Saturday and we may consider him in the Summer
What I never understood with Ed was that he used the term ‘we’ all the time when he was the only person writing.
Toonsy, I’ll do one tonight for tomorrow
Andrew – That is the one single thing that pissed me off about his site. We think….. No No Ed, YOU think…..
We don’t know the answer to that one Andrew
Dan – It wasn’t a hint mate
I was just genuinely struggling for ideas
Toonsy…do “we” get upset with that do we?
I was going to do one in anyways
I got used to the “we” thing and the other Ed-isms (“waxing lyrical,” etc.) but got too frustrated trying to post comnents. Still read his articles though…
Who was it who spammed Ed’s blog again?
Batty
I don’t mind Ed generally, his blog is his blog, he goes on his own deal and doesn’t offend anyone, I still read it. I just get fed up with Seb Larsson being the new Jesus.
That and Craigcoozy has vanished and he was the only one who had real information on transfers that came true. People noticed and then stole his name and it became impossible to keep up though.
We should try and get him on here so we can get the news.
Oh do you mean when he closed down when promotion wasn’t assured? In that case I don’t actually know who it was
We think a good article would be Ameobi’s penalty taking skills for the famous Newcastle United Club.
I think I got drove off Ed’s blog and Worky’s blog due to offending people too.
I don’t get the aggression towards me, I am nice.
I think I made my feelings about Ed’s blog perfectly clear the other week
FJ, I remember that Craig, everyone was commenting just waiting for him to come on
He went on holiday for like two month and said his brother would carry it on, he did like two articles…
How do you spam
TGS – Open the tin usually….
Craigcoozy was genuine though, he called Ben Arfa and Tiote and some other stuff. This was before those twitter geeks appeared and started spamming so many rumours that one had to come true.
I remember he posted Ben Arfa was in Newcastle and then about 5 hours later, that pic of Ben Arfa’s warped head in Newcastle airport popped up.
We need the Coozmeister on here.
Urgh spam fritters
Ice hows it going mate good to see you back and nice to have someone that knows what the’re talking about
Evening all
I love a spam sandwich I do yum yum
FJ, the amount of questions he’d get asked after just one comment was crazy, I felt sorry for him at times
Areet Dave
Dan I know a couple Craigcoozy’s that posted on there aswell but they knew fuk all
According to the “fair play” league table we’re “the most disrespectful to opponents” team-what the f*ck is that supposed to mean seriously? I guess we can rule out ever qualifying through fair play with Tiote in our squad, doesn’t matter anyway as we’ll be in the CL in a year or two
Dave, no doubt we’ll get one on here soon
Lpool scoring within a minute
Still, good for us if we want top 10 i guess
Dave@87…Ice?
Let’s campaing Coozy to get him on here so we can be the home of transfer gossip.
NewkieBrown, maybe its the fact we have one of the worst card counts in the entire league, lol.
What is the deal with Liverpool now?
Meireles and Maxi hadn’t scored for Liverpool at all and now Kenny is there, they have about 32 goals between them.
Funky-nah theres a separate thing for that, the final score is calculated on stuff like yellows and reds, but also on “respect to opponents” and respect to the refs, and also on the performance of the officials or some boll0cks? And somehow Chelsea top the list…show’s what sh1te it is really.
Maybe is Tiote’s fetish for yellow cards and Barton’s polite physical and verbal request to Fernando Torres to pleasure him after the match?
Not to mention Colo and Taylor elbowing people and Williamson headbutting Elmander, lol.
We don’t have the nicest squad at the moment
FJ one of the CC’s comes on here only under a different name I can assure you they all know jack shit
Richie @ 94
Batty
that was for you 
True, but even so its not like we have Karl henry and Cattermole clearly attempting to end peoples careers with their tackles. How many people have we actually injured seriously this year, or even put out for treatment? Can’t name a single one. Ah well, tis all crap anyway
The most interesting thing for me tonight is the performance of that Flanagan at left back. Hopefully he has a stormer which means they don’t need a left back anymore
3-0 in 15 minutes
Aye toonsy, they have flanagan who’s looked good anyway, but they also have Kelly who’s played brilliant whenever I’ve seen him…I just can’t see why they’d even need Enrique..
well ime back if just for a while,heeds still giving me jip,have been trying but couldnt get on thought site was down,had to do with reading another site
but 3 comments a day bye bloggers doesnt take long to get through 
would not worry about jose/jonas partership,as i say jonas will go which will get the wage bill down thats view of it anyway.
batty says jose will stay he got that of richie
Flanagan at LB is showing the benefit of having faith in a youth player and giving him a run in the team. Through neccessity, which is often how it happens, but Him and Spearing look good players
Not to mention they want to sign BIG players for a lot of money, so any savings they can make bringing reserves players up and home grown ones at that, I’d imagine they will go for it.
Then again, would you prefer Enrique or Flanagan at left back?
Toonsy I think ice is having trouble getting on here
as I was talking to him just before @ 87 and he said he is still not good but that he tried to get on a couple of times and couldn’t and that he would be on for 5 – 10 mins so I can only imagine he still cant get on, but i will try to get intouch with him again
Dave – Strange
I think he has my e maill addy. Get him to drop me a line if he can
And Suarez is a player. I think the bin dippers will do well next season
Speak of the devil and there he is @ 105
FJ – Flanagan, because it would free up 7 mill or so for players who can really influence a game
Richie see @ 105 the top dogs back ye of little faith
I guess the talk of Enrique for £5m plus Jay Spearing was rubbish then since Spearing signed a new contract this week.
I was gonna say £5m plus Fabio Aurelio since he is a good left back with a rocket of a left foot but then I realised he hasn’t played a full game since about 2003. He left in the summer, then Hodgson re-signed him straight back for more wages.
lol
RAFFO aye the lad is class mate and judas is the perfect foil too,
but ime hopeing dogleash stuffs the job up,like he does normally,thing is he has clarke this time to pull him out of the shit
FJ I never heard owt about Spearing
Ice @ 87 and 94 richie thought id lost the plot
I’m still not sure Dogleash is calling the shots on transfers tbh. I think that Comolli is the one.
DAVE knew i could count on you to watch my back m8 while i was off,lot of knife-throwers aboot
Ice – Aye I would love nothing more, and for Judas to fail, but he has them playing like world beaters. I just dont get what his secret is. Woy cant have been that bad, look what he is doing with WBrum?
If or when the bindippers come calling for Jose, ask for £5m+ and Flanagan, simple
Oh, i forgot we are talking about the famous Newcastle United Club.The deal will probably be £3m + Konchesky
Big Dave, there was a rumour a week or two ago that Spearing would be a tag along with a few million for Enrique to go to Liverpool. He recently signed a new deal so that seems dead.
toonsy, I have posted previously on how Comolli is Newcastle’s stalker. The guy has tried to mug Newcastle since he got that job at Tottenham, it’s so blatent. I almost think Newcastle have a mole that leak information to him or something, it’s that drastic.
I wish he’d just bugger off and mug some other team for once.
ice,
Shite mate………….everyone is rooting for you
Comolli mugged the famous Newcastle Club of Woodgate, Modric and I believe Bassong
Well I have already said who are Liverpool’s 3 main targets and they have been given the money to do it. Agreed by Dalglish, Comolli and the board. Just depends on the other clubs accepting, which Liverpool believe they will.
as much as hate to say it l/pool will finish well,but next season when they get beat 2/3 times kenny will push his nose in and stuff it up plus his “gloss” will have gone by then imo
Whos that then Moreno?
Jose
Marveux
Ice – Hopefully
The media fellatio Dalglish is getting at the minute is cringeworthy
toonsy,
If you can make it up for the WBA game I will meet you and buy you a pint
Oh but he has them playing the liverpool way Toonsy
TGS cheers mate.
maybe we are under-selling jose if you belive rag shit.
http://www.givemefootball.com/premier-league/arsenal-liverpool-can-have-15m-target-we-found-bet
Does anyone else think Dembele looks half decent?
Ice i’ll watch your back mate I had to tell richie off,
remember Toonsy was getting bad heeds and eyes there for a while because he was choking the chicken to much ??? well I think Richie was trying to say the same about you but I put him right 
toonsy,
You not seen the hype to get Dalglish a knighthood recently?
raffo,
Charlie Adam
Ashley Young
Jose Enrique
Sounds obvious I know…
The goal is to sign these 3 and that will take them into top 4. They expect 25 million should be enough for all three but will spend more if need be.
They also have a youth player they got from QPR which will be slowly introduced this season, supposed to be mint…forgot his name though
Raheem Stirling I think it is.
He scored 5 goals in a reserve game and then played in the Europa League the night after or something I think.
He was 14 and playing professional I think or something ridiculous like that.
that’s him fj,
you’ll all see him a bit next season
lol, you said that in the most sinister way possible.
It’s like you’ve hidden him in your basement or something.
“I’ve got the shackles in the back”
“Just kidding…….but not really”
Moreno,
Meanwhile back at the famous Newcastle United Club, our top targets are:
Carlton Cole (Free)
Seb (Ed’s love child) Larsson (Free)
Stephen Ireland (circa 6m)
Where is Adam going to fit in? And with Young too? Who are they going to drop?
Stardy has the gimp mask
I imagine the plan is Charlie Adam to fill the Xavi Alonso role of assaulting people in the middle and then spraying the ball about like a quarterback.
I also imagine Ashley Young would let Dirk Kuyt play as a real striker instead of flipping from the wing to up front.
It’s all sensible moves really. I hate Liverpool.
Moreno – amazing film. Its a metaphor, but that actually happened though!
TGS – We arent going for C Cole, and I hope to god we dont get Larsson-Harrison. Ireland would be fine, but another reason I dont go on the other 2 blogs is all the negativity. I cant take it ne more
raffo, when you are competing on 4 fronts, you need the players.
Raffo – I seriously believe Gerrard could be off in the summer. Someone like Man City or Chelsea will be looking for a statement signing and Liverpool do fine without him anyway now. Plus they have a man in charge who the fans will allow to seel the family silveware, and lower wages, and bring in loads of dollar in the process
Good points about Kelly being even better than this Flanagan kid. Why would they push for another left back when they have plenty that are capable and really didn’t cost them that much in the first place?
It really doesn’t make sense. Just like when we get linked with keepers all the time. We don’t exactly need any, so why waste the money on someone who will only be a little better
toonsy, I think you might be right. Gerrard doesn’t fit into this Liverpool team anymore and they aren’t exactly missing him. Gerrard lost his bargaining chip when Torres left.
Not to mention this is the last window, in my opinion, for Gerrard to go for any real big money. His age won’t allow a big move anymore.
Toonsy I really cant see Gerrard going
him and Dogsballs are best mates
When you look at Man Utd, they win trophies as they could replace their starting 11 with another starting 11. You have so many options to turn to (like playing Schalke in Champs League you rest players for Chelsea prem league decider) They don’t just have a best 11 who they play every week and aren’t scared to drop/rest players at whim.
I think Gerrard would do well at Real or Inter. I cant see him moving to anyone else in the league. I think its been coming, but he wont want to move now they are looking like moving up again when the last 3 seasons he has had the chance to go
DAVE like to think toonsy is right,cannot stand the guy,thinks hes mr liverpool
Ice I think he is Mr Liverpool and I really cant see him going,
So I will predict that he will be there next year
Dave,….I still think ya’ve lost the plot….@101?
Ice, good to have ya back, don’t believe owt that Dave says….its not me who picks on ya with a different nick
I wish we had Jonjo Shelvey.
He was touted several years ago as a wonderkid yet Liverpool were the only ones to take the risk. He looks quality so far.
DAVE that forcast will go in my little book
RICHIE cheers m8,have they stocked up on I.D. yet
Ice…don’t know, will leave it a couple of weeks I think.
Heed nae better?
Rich Batty like’s getting the 100 so if I can I get it for him I do as he is a mate
Ice @ 155 you know I dont get that much wrong
RICHIE as long as you can leave it nee bother.
kna heeds not a lot better,will give it another week on the crap hes give me,then gan back to see the quack again,nee good this like,got guys in putting new bathroom and kitchen in too,which isnt helping
Dave – a bit like Carroll was Mr Newcastle you mean?
iam with big D on this 1 gerrard wil go knowhere
batty,
Car pass it’s MOT
Not whilst he is guaranteed immunity by merseyside police
Raffo, I too think Dembele is half decent. The only problem is he doesn’t score enough for a striker. He’s got something like two goals in 1800 minutes of football this season. Makes Ameobi look like Messi!
I thought Dembele scored more than 2 or 3 this season
I also thought he was more an attacking midfielder than a striker.
Liverpool have 17 year old Jack Robinson too who has been excellent in the few games his played. As much as I hate saying this but there may be good times ahead for Liverpool…
How many goals are Meireles and Maxi gonna score since Kenny took over. They look like flops until he appeared.
Another Maxi hatrick.
ime off catch yous later
Dave….ah, gotcha.
Ice…they give me a paper one instead which they said I can use permanently….doesn’t fit in the wallet as well as the card tho
Later Ice, gan steady.
I agree with Batty @ 161
Toonsy I had never thought of Carroll as Mr Newcastle but I have always thought of S Taylor as a Mr Newcastle
TGS aye passed with flying colours ,have you seen mr smith latley
FJ,you may be right, think it was wrong of me to call him a striker when he plays best behind a front man. If HBA is going to play the number 10 role it would then be a waste spending money on Dembele. I like him as a player though. Has a very good touch.
Ice be good i’ll watch your back buddy
oh aye batty comes on line and dog buggers off
what have i done 
Bloody hell Maxi!
Batty,
No mate he’s been injured since the 5under1and match.
Fulham 1-5 Liverpool
Is Judas playing?
Hate watching Liverpool do this but there playing class
Sorry if I’m a bit behind the news…or off topic, but this must have Ashley seriously aroused….kin ‘el…more money to play with…
http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/11/05/09/SOCCER_Premier_League.html&BID=165
Judas isn’t even on the bench….
Judas wont get in this team! Kenny cant exactly change this team with the form its in.
Never upset a winning team…….
Quite ironic we are talking about how mint Liverpool are on this thread
Well, they are managed by a Scottish manager. We do tend to do a good job
Us Glaswegians especially get the job done
Flanagan has been mint
Lets hope Jose isnt watching
Clint Dempsey would be a good shout for us IMO.
Toonsy I have always liked Clint Dempsey
The last two Scottish managers we had were shite, a la Miserable Kenny and Sourpuss
Where would you play him toonsy? I like him, scored loads this season.
I’ve seen him on the wings before. Maybe an option out wide?
The good thing about Dempsey is he can play pretty much anywhere across midfield and upfront and do a really good job.
reet away to pick the lass up from work
I may be biased as a Yank, but I’ve always like Dempsey. Would love to see him playing for the toon…even though he is a Texan.
I would obvioulsy have him but his best postion is off the striker or cm, he wouldnt get a game for us in either of those positions with Benny, Nolan and Tiote. Saying that with our injury and suspensions he would probably play every other week
Howdy folks.
That little blackburn winger would be canny, hes young I think I cant spell his name, hoillet or somthing I think, wouldnt mind him.
latas dave
spence you meen toillet
Ill pick her up Dave
Later bud!
Howdy folks???…..have you been watching re-runs of little house on the prairie?
David ( JR) Holiette , class little player , id love to see him here
thats the one hello.
Richie, I like to do a diffrent entry everytime
Spencer….that’s what I tell wor lass
I dont speak to myne, Just tie her mouth up and do rest
I wish I had enough rope to tie her mouth up
…and on that note, I’m offski……couple of hours in the hospital wi wor lass first thing in the morning….can’t wait
Cyas.
Adios richie.
Lee Westwood and Shearer are playing golf at Close House tomorrow
Is Jose close to staying?
In my mind that has never been in doubt.
His comments have always been about reviewing his position when PL safety was achieved. And yes, of course, like any footballer, if he had an offer too good to refuse he’d leave, otherwise he’d stay.
Only the misleading and the misled have interpretted anything otherwise.
Milan has just signed Taiwo.
