Newcastle have seemingly agreed a fee of around £5M for Spaniard Jose Enrique to finally move to Liverpool.
Jose Enrique – fee agreed with Liverpool?
The Daily Mirror is reporting that the deal should be completed this week, so it could be that by the time Newcastle meet Fiorentina on Saturday afternoon at St. James’ Park, both Joey Barton and Jose Enrique could have left Newcastle.
The Daily Mail is reporting the fee is £10M and the Daily Mirror is reporting the fee is £5M, so let’s hope the Mail is accurate.
Enrique was fined two weeks wages 10 days ago in America, after criticizing the Newcastle owner Mike Ashley via a tweet for his lack of ambition, and Joey Barton has been given a free transfer by the club, and also fined two weeks wages for a similar tweet he sent out after the 3-2 defeat at Leeds United last Sunday.
Newcastle will be wanting to get both players out of the club quickly, and presumably the powers that be at Newcastle will need to bring new players in to replace both Enrique and Barton – we hope.
And Newcastle are still after a striker, after having been bogged down in their pursuits of Kevin Gameiro and Mevlut Erdinc for weeks and weeks, with no success.
There’s still time for Newcastle to reinvigorate the squad before September rolls around, and if the Enrique deal goes through, Newcastle will have so far made £7M in the transfer market this summer, and that’s £12M if Jose goes for £10M.
So money presumably should not be a problem for the Tyneside club – we hope.

I’ve often wondered. Is your name supposed to be like the toy shop Toys R Us (Toon R Uz) or is it Toon Ruse, as in having everybody on a bit of a wind up?

Haha I think I catch your drift there like. In all honesty I dont think I have met a lass who isnt high maintenance but that might be more down to the type of lass I go for 🙁

Comment #86GG
It was contract complications, but don’t worry, I hear she’s ready to move back to newcastle. Dunno why I never mentioned this before but when Sol Campbell played for Portsmouth he used to live round the corner from me. Would go in Pizza Express every now and again and once went in the chippy.

Comment #93WWJBD, my ex-wife was high maintenance but thick as well. Took me to the cleaners then snitched me for tax evasion. They took me to court I lost everything and she got no more from me.

Comment #101Glad to see we’re all hanging in there with all this strange news. Barton gone for nothing, Jose for 5-10M. Little chance we will spend on quality because quality signings want good wages. Where does that leave us? Up the brown creek without a paddle I guess. The idea we are copying the Arsenal model is hilarious. We are Arsenal without the football brains. They have Wenger, we have Pardew and Llambias. Wow I see who comes out ahead in that contest.

Comment #111its rediculous we are not going to beable to replace him for a couple a seasons unless mike ashley puts his hand in his pocket its no good buying 2 many johhny foreigners it normally takes them 12 months to fit in n settle and get used to the pace of the prem by that time av no doubt religation is on the cards then we have to sell them if that happens n loose money on them a joke ,to buy proven prem players your looking at 20 million can you see MA paying that for players yav got more chance a newcastle winning the prem this season a love all the opptimists but fact we have brought no experienced prem replacements we dont even know if are new signings are the business there is a reason why pardew has such a terrible managerial record hes not piss wise

Comment #113We should give Tiote to them in a package deal with Enrique.
Anyone playing fantasy this year, you could make a toon rejects team and win the league.
—————- Carroll
N’Zogbia Milner
———Barton Parker
Enrique ? ? ?

Well I’d like to see what Paker and Barton could combined in the midfield since they arent ours anymore I’d like to see villa get them together
