Former Newcastle United defender, John Beresford, has talked to the Evening Chronicle today about our young Spanish left-back Jose Enrique.
Joe Enrique - showed a great attitude last season
The young 22 year-old established himself at left-back under Kevin Keegan, and he seemed to be improving nicely, and put in some solid performances towards the end of last season.
He will admit he still has a lot to learn, but we think his attitude in his first season out of Spain, has been first class, for one so young.
Beresford told the Evening Chronicle today:
“I don’t think we have seen the best of Jose Enrique, but let’s hope we do right from the off next season.â€
“Obviously, as a left-back myself I have watched him closely and there is a lot of talent there.â€
“But I think at times he has been trying too hard and he should learn to relax a bit more, but there is clearly more to come from him.â€
“To be fair, he came into a side which seemed a bit low in confidence and that did not help him.â€
“And he would not be happy when United played Charles N’Zogbia, who is really a midfielder, in his position at left-back.â€
“But without being disrespectful to Charles, who I really rate as a midfielder, I think Jose Enrique is a far better left-back.â€
“What I would like to see is for Kevin Keegan to go out and buy a left-back to give Jose Enrique some competition; because I am convinced he will thrive on it.â€
“But he must be really looking forward to the new season. He has a season under his belt and he’s not a new lad on the block any more so it is up to him to show us what he can do.â€
“There is a big prize out there waiting for Jose Enrique and it is up to him to claim it.â€
Good words from John, and Jose can benefit from them.
And since Charles was mentioned by John, no news is good news as far as the young Frenchman is concerned, and we hope he will stay at Newcastle for a few years to come.
We like Jose and think he can do really well for Kevin, he just needs that little bit of time to get fully acclimatized to England and to the Premier league.
Once he has done that he could be a great left-back for us - we hope so in any case.
Comments welcome.

Has come back really well after fat sam dented the lads confidence! is a good player but i still think we need to get shorey in! he has the experience to help jose become a better player & jose has the drive to make nicky work harder & play better for the spot! it would give us different options for the left side when playing teams with serious threats on their right, like man u (if Ron stays). Comon MA £3.5m for England international is peanuts!
4 Matthew // Jun 21, 2008 at 16:37
Beresford seems to comment on Enrique every few weeks.
5 Zhun // Jun 21, 2008 at 16:40
Still cofusing that sam left him at the starting line up
6 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 17:22
Ed - Regarding the contact you have with members of the club, do they ever give you information about things such as transfer targets or goings on?
Like you said earlier, you were impressed by what you have heard from them - In what ways?
By all means you don’t have to share that with anyone but it would be interesting to hear a bit about how our club has been doing since the end of the season. As you stated earlier, us fans are the customers of this club so therefore i think it would be nice to get a bit of an insight to how things are going?
Obviously you don’t have to say anything, but as i said i am quite interested in what you said earlier.
7 Ed Harrison // Jun 21, 2008 at 17:27
Tommy - i’ve been impressed because they are very interested to hear what the fans think. It’s been more from a fan interface - that I’ve been involved, that’s all. And Kevin hasn’t asked me which players to sign
8 Spyro // Jun 21, 2008 at 17:27
good player and will be better next season
9 Bucks_mag // Jun 21, 2008 at 17:28
me gusta mucho el toro
10 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 17:30
Ed - Lets hope they dont tak your stance on Chimbonda, no offence but 99% of us disagree with you on that matter
11 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 17:33
Ed - Well it’s good to hear that the club are willing to listen to the fans, and are contacting you rather than just visiting the site. I do like the way the new set-up seems to be much more fan orientated, which can only be a good thing in my eyes.
Lol now that surprises me :p , but its nice to know the club at least knows abit about the type of players us fans would like to see at the club, and hopefully we as a group can make an impact on this summers transfers.
Also could you send me a link to the article in which Chris Mort commented if possible?
12 daiv // Jun 21, 2008 at 19:11
We can all rest easy in out beds. Dennis Wise is in charge of signings. Thats why we’ve signed nobody. Thank God the King is back from his hols.
13 Ashton // Jun 21, 2008 at 19:17
I really like Jose and i think he got the potential to be one of the best full-backs in the league
howay the BULL !!
14 Spyro // Jun 21, 2008 at 19:30
yeah cos “the king” is going to be sooo influential and attract a whole host of players right (roll eyes)
15 ToonKing // Jun 21, 2008 at 19:42
here we go Holland -Russia, should be a cracker, i’m with Russia on this one
16 bob marley // Jun 21, 2008 at 19:51
toon king got to be holland put a 5pound bet on them to win the euros!
Enrique is shocking!!!! the only reason why the pundits and the ex players are saying he is god is because they are trying to give him confidance no body would be saying anything if he was actually any good e.g. beye. Trust me enrique wouldnt make the carlisle team!
17 Spyro // Jun 21, 2008 at 19:58
bob marley your talking nonsense. enrique done very well last season considering he is young, doesn’t speak english and came into an awful defence and all round team
18 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:05
Hey Marley man-miles out there son he as got talent its obvious. You wanna stick to da music man and seek some redemption.
19 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:06
I think we should go for Souvlaki from Greece.
20 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:09
I love Souvlaki.
21 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:11
Ha ha at last we have something in common tom!
22 Spyro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:13
…aside from the name
23 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:14
I fancy a Souvlaki at the moment.
24 Cloudstrife // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:16
arshavin looks a monster!
25 Spyro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:17
oh my god, why oh why did we not sign arshavin in january, he is the best player in this tournament
26 Spyro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:17
beat me to it Tifa…i mean Cloud lol
27 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:18
No Kolodin looks a monster with those 2 strikes!
28 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:18
Aye Spyro good un. The weird thing is I made a pharmaceutical product bearing your name today! Well Spiro is an abbreviation of it!
29 Dave // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:20
Kolodin, anyone?
30 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:22
Escabeche of Algeria is canny to, along with Caldeirada of Portugal!
31 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:22
Shite defender that can whack a ball, no thank you
32 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:22
well i guess my new name is Spiro then lol
33 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:23
tam toon - do you know what, a twix is nice
34 Cloudstrife // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:23
ha, good one spyro. maybe i should just change my name to Barret then, ey?
this game looks fire though. i’m backing whoever wins this game to win the whole thing.
35 Dave // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:23
Take it you’ve seen a lot of Dinamo Moscow games Tom? Have you shite.
36 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:24
i was one of the few on here to doubt arshavin, i marked him as a decent player but nothing more, fact of the matter is he is world class and should have been signed in january, signing arshavin would completely make losing out to modric worth while for me, doubt we will though, too good now
37 Have you ever seen a mackem in Milan? // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:24
Arshavin is bad diver. Not in the sense that they are the most obvious dive ever but he dives at every opportunity. Not the kind of thing that would be good for our team. Hope it is Hiddink’s tactics. He might reprieve himself if he scores the free kicks when he dives for them.
38 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:24
Nope, on the basis of this tournament he is a crap defender.
I take it neither have you seen much of Dynamo, so how can you suggest him? On a few shots?!?!?
39 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:25
Not very good for Scotland Dave.
40 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:25
Is it just me or does Akinfeev look slightly Asian?
41 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:25
arshavin can literally walk into the first team of any of the top 4
42 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:26
He is Asian?
43 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:26
cloud, barret was my favourite
44 Dave // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:26
Wouldn’t mind Zhirkov like.
And I know Tom, you’ve mentioned him before.
45 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:26
It certainly is tom toon that and picnic’s, I have just had one of those.
46 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:28
I just had mushy peas, trout and potatoe wedges.
No more food talk.
‘Ohhh Kolodin gave it away’
47 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:28
guess tom toon was right about kolodin then lol
48 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:29
Yes, he is.
49 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:29
Titus Kolodin ha ha
50 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:29
Yes, thats what im saying.
51 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:30
Rainbow or brown?
52 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:31
Rainbow.
53 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:31
Actually more of a Chinese dragon.
54 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:33
am i missing something?
55 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:33
Nice- I am starving now and away for my chicken piri piri- see you all later.
56 tanya toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:35
I have been on wiki and can’t find who escabec plays for, or what position.
57 Have you ever seen a mackem in Milan? // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:36
Anyone think Wilson Palacios and Antonio Valencia would be good signings? They are canny little players and wouldn’t cost much. Anyone got some suggestions on who we could sign for the RM spot since it seems Milner is leaving and we don’t have a out and out RM apart from him. Spurs want Podolski I mean why don’t we go for players like him. Man City got Petrov and Elano so why wouldn’t we be able to get players of a high standard.
58 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:37
palacios and valencia would both be good signings, especially valencia
59 ToonKing // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:42
Russia doing good so far, defense little shaky.
see you guys like souvlaki, anyone fancy the musaka ?? i love that stuff….
60 tanya toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:45
I’d eat owt me.
61 OzZyMagpiE // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:45
my take on da euros
Bonsingwa isnt worth 20 mil (lahm is a btr right back btw tom toon)
Rakitic would be more suited to the EPL unlike featherweight modric
turan wud be good
zhirkov wud be btr
arshavin wd be great
Gomis is a joke
Olic is a hardworker
n VDV’s wife is a knock out
Cheers

63 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:46
Dont like Musakka too much. If the Aubergine is soft then its alreet
64 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:47
bosingwa has been the best right back, and one of the best players in general so far in this tournament ozzy, chelsea just signed one hell of a RB
65 scottish mag // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:47
did u hear the commentator when kolodin made that mistake
” he has just done a titus bramble” lol
also tom and tam i reckon u to are the same person lol
66 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:48
hahaha, nah, we have to many disputes.
67 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:49
hmmm….how very observant scottish
68 tanya toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:53
I think we should sign David Beckham, he would give us a world presence.
69 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:54
the russian defence make some trully awful decisions at times i must say
70 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 20:55
Scottish mag thats class, this is actually the first time we agreed on owt! He hates me, actually so does my wife but thats another story! That has made my day that mate.
71 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:00
Scottish mag-he hates me I get up his nose. (but so does the wife hate me). That is priceless though thanks for that!
72 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:00
LOL David Beckham, no chance realistically. He wouldn’t want to come and his wages would be expensive as hell. Also we are looking for younger and brighter prospects than Beckham. He would give us a world wide status, but it wouldn’t be worth it i suspect.
73 tanya toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:02
Oh well Tommyy a girl can dream!
74 ronaldeano // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:02
Beckams far too ugly for the toon!
75 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:03
Yerp you can indeed. You could dream of a player with his looks but also within our new age, ability and positional needs and wants?
76 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:03
What about an ugly 11?
77 Cloudstrife // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:04
from Russia with love baby!
78 ronaldeano // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:04
@Tanya Toon, what about Tevez!
79 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:06
what a goal
80 Tanya toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:07
Any port in a storm!
81 Tanya toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:08
That was a joke he looks like Clarence Acunas brother without the topex treatment. He is just missing a blowpipe.
82 ronaldeano // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:11
The Hulk!
83 tam toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:14
Ugly 11:- Hooper
Hottiger Haddock Scott MacDonald
Acuna Brock Macdonough
Riley Beardsley Waddle
84 tanya toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:16
The Hulk ha ha.
85 Cloudstrife // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:16
must be a mixture of emotions for Hiddink. prospect of eliminating your home country. but i guess Abramovich’s millions soften it slightly…
86 Neville Brewis // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:17
Russia are winning 1 to nil!
87 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:24
has anyone realised, when engelaar was on how much of a neat player he realy was?
88 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:27
GG7 - yerp, nothing fancy just a steady and reliable player who could can keep things moving and pick out some good balls.
89 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:28
holland dont deserve that
90 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:28
YESSS!!!
91 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:29
i thought he played really well tonight without ever really excelling, would like to have him, he looked a carrick type player, anyone seen what wenger has said about arda on goal.com
great header from ruud van, he is qaulity in them situations
92 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:31
i wish i was dutch, play amaising football. always really appreciate watching them
93 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:32
holland have played no such amazing football today and they dont deserve anything from this game
94 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:34
wtf, iv never seen a ref do that, that is brilliant refereeing. fair play to him, that kolodin is shocking though
95 ToonKing // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:35
lucky dutch….hope Russia wins it, they are a neat little team and it’s about time Holland runs out of luck….as crazy as that may sound but they had everything falling for them until this game.
96 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:37
no luck involved with holland, just a class team
97 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:39
GG7 you cannot deny that holland deserve nothing from this game, the so called “best team” of the tournament have been taught how to play football by the russians
98 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:42
ground something out of it though havent they, i think they will win. but russia have been auwesome tonight also.
99 Cloudstrife // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:43
ya i’m with you Toonking. i’m with Russia all the way. they look a quality side.
100 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:43
russia deserve it tonight, but i would not complain if the dutch win, as they have been auwesome, up untill now. thats what im trying to say
101 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:44
that zyrianov (SP), has impressed me quite abit
102 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:45
f me, what a strike
103 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:46
I want Pavyluchenko.
104 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:46
what a strike
105 Ross // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:46
brilliant effort pavlyuchenko, some of these russians look very good. they’re a great little team, thoroughly deserve this game. arshavin as per usual, has looked top drawer
GG7-saw thar wenger is admiring arda, not the best of news!
106 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:47
i thought they would struggle without progrebnyak, pavluchenko has been a different class
107 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:47
Zyryanov is a great cm, very skillful too, but 30, what a shame.
108 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:48
some of the dutch woman in the crowd are auwesome, anyone else seeing this
109 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:49
seriously 30??
110 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:50
yep
he’ll be 31 in 4 months.
111 Ross // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:50
gg7-i saw a brunette when they were 1-0 down biting her nails who was just unbeleivable,lol.
some of them are gorgeous.
112 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:50
i agree with you about pogrebnyak GG7 he is vital for them
113 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:50
Ahh i’d take Pavy anyday of the week, he does have a touch of class about him.
114 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:52
Progebnyak aint that vital to them, he only has 9 caps.
115 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:53
How old is Pavy?
116 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:54
im talking about his quality in front of goal
117 GazzaToon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:54
yh but pavy needs about 50 chances to score a goal!
118 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:54
26 almost 27 i think.
119 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:55
so that means he is not vital to them now then?? course it dont, some russian bloke i was talking to in a casino on thursday was saying he was frustrated when prog got injured before the tournament as he would have scored all there goals. but pavy has more than stepped up to the plate
120 ToonKing // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:55
although he looks much younger i think Pavy is 25-26-ish.
121 Cloudstrife // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:56
pavlyuchenko is top drawer. with his height and skill, he could be our replacement for Viduka. how old is he?
122 ronaldeano // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:56
Snijder is pure quality
123 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:56
ahh right he’s that old? i thought he was like 22 - 23, if he was i’d take him hoping that with experience he would improve his ability in front of goal.
124 ToonKing // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:57
let’s buy this russian team, Hiddink too
i guess about 100M will do.
125 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 21:58
russia are battering them
126 Tom_Toon // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:00
ye just checked wiki.
Pavyluchenko will be 27 in december.
127 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:00
like i said, russia are teaching holland how too play football
128 ronaldeano // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:01
KK should do everything that is humanly possible to get Arshavin in a black n white shirt ASAP. He is exactly what we need
129 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:01
all the russian team except kolodin, or if we signed him we could re=sign bramble to put him with
130 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:02
2-1.
131 Cloudstrife // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:02
GET IN!!!
132 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:02
Deserved goal!
133 Ross // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:02
arshavin again. he is sheer class.
134 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:03
YESSS!!!! Arshavin is just too good, we should offer anything up to 18 million for him
135 ToonKing // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:03
well deserved……how good is Arshavin though….damn…
136 keep oba // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:03
Lets buy half the russian team
137 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:04
ooooohhh man, not what we need, we needed arshavin to have a shocker tonight
138 ronaldeano // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:04
He is top drawer, id rather have Arshavin than VDV
139 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:05
Now its going to take even longer to get him though :(.
140 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:05
russia might just win this tournament if tonight is anything to go by
141 Cloudstrife // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:06
the dutch have been very subdued tonight. espaecially Van der Vaart. what happened to him? i guess the usual inquest into Dutch football’s problems begins..
142 tommyy // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:06
No chance are we getting him now. No chance.
143 Ross // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:06
its actually a little depressing to watch arshavin play like this.
we had our chance to snap him up in january and for one reason or another we didnt get it.
now we watch him, realise he is sheer brilliance, and with every piece of genious…like that goal as i type, he slips away from us.
144 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:06
no way we will get arshavin
145 ToonKing // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:06
pfff 3-1….let’s just forget about Arshavin…..
146 ronaldeano // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:06
3-1, ARSHAVIN, WHAT A PLAYER
147 Spiro // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:08
russia are simply fantastic, great team, arshavin is world class
148 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:08
i think he will go ac milan, ancelotti seems to love him, or even chelsea
149 keep oba // Jun 21, 2008 at 22:09
you cant be offside on a throw in! good sense by arshavin, but that was some holy dutch defending. Who would have thought that would be their undoing?
Hes playing out of our range unless we throw gobs of money his/zenits way. Goodbye.

i think tonight is the night for me to genuinly just stop considering us potentially signing arshavin. lets be honest, its not happening, he’s world class. i think now is the moment i have to let it go sadly.

he’s brilliant. russia as a team look brilliant, but arshavin is their engine, he creates everything. i can see him at one of the best teams in the world come next season.

I have now watched Arshavin in 7-8 games, and I can honestly say he is outstanding and worth far more than Turan or Modric. 16Mil would be good value.
He is the heartbeat of this very talented side.
I am also very impressed by there left back, (Jerkoff) who Tom Toon likes but at LB not as a LW.
The GK Akinfeev looks brilliant too.
And there striker was superb as well. Those four stood out for me and look class.

I dont often go off the handle about who we get or dont get, but when I am starting to look at Boro and some of their latest in transfers like Tuncay and Alves and I like those better than anything we have brought in except Beye, it does start to concern me. I know the window hasnt officially opened, but that hasnt seemed to stop other people making moves. Is the new group too trigger shy? Lowball too much? or do people just use us as a springboard to jack up their transer fee until someone bigger and more “competition” friendly. Maybe we could join the SPL and win that every year and go
