Jose Enrique

[magicalbarnes]

"I tell him he looks 35-years-old but no, he’s still young - 24 I think.

The best thing I can do in my life is play football. I try to enjoy it all the time. I am funny with Luis and Maxi (Rodriguez), making jokes and everything."

Best summer signing by far...

He's been brilliant so far.

I think he'll get better too. Cracking signing.

Enrique reminds me of Alan Kennedy

I think he was good so far but as he said and you said it he can do so much better.

I'd like to see him do more offensive runs as he is still playing too reserved (not sure if Kenny is asking him to do that or not).

Also I would like to see him do the less dribbling and more passing when he does decide to go forward as many times he forces the issue and loses the ball in the process.

Can't help thinking it turned out for the best that we missed out on Clichy and got JE instead.

Not for Man City, it didnt

Just asked Graham Hunter on Twitter if he reckons Enrique is close to a call up to the national team, after he was left out of the latest squad (the 'left backs' are Jordi Alba - who I thought was more of a left mid, and Arbeloa, obviously a right back), and this was Senor Hunter's response:

BumperGraham Graham Hunter
I wonder what VDB thinks of his social life

[Shaggy]

So I replied asking if he Jose was a bit of a boozer:

BumperGraham Graham Hunter
I didn't say that, only that I think VDB is sceptical about some things

How strange.

Maybe Enrique is gay and VBD is a homophobe. I can't think of any other possible reason so it must be.

i thought that too. old spanish coaches don't seem to be the most enlightened sort.

[Shaggy]

It was Del Bosque who made those racist remarks about Henry wasn't it?

[Neil Young]

That was Aragones I think.

[little dave hedgehog]

i think so. who was his predecessor?

aragones that's the guy. that does sound more like it.
