I'd imagine they'll be your first team if Wenger doesn't spend the Csec/Nasri money and you crash out of the Champions League to Udinese

Shut up.
Enrique is a good player but he seems to have improved a lot in the last 24hrs.
I saw this morning in a Liverpool paper that he apparently set up a lot of Carroll's goals at Newcastle. This is news to me, certainly. If Liverpool wanted someone who has linked up more with Carroll they should've went for Williamson or Xisco.

Levy has already turned down loan offers because he wants to sell.

So probably going to Leicester then!
totally understand where you are coming from (and why you want to remain hopeful) - but to be fair SAF has been pretty conclusive all along, its only Gill that has muddied the waters......
Every player gets "better" when they move away from the North East. The press tend to ignore players/clubs up here unless there is some story to stick the boot in against them or a player is leaving to go somewhere else "better"
By tomorrow Enrique will have won the last world cup for Spain despite not playing and will be the best left back in the country
Hopefully we can get a new LB in sharpish. That Peitets from PSV sounds decent enough.

Didn't they spend somewhere in the region of 5.7m on him???
Don't think Newcastle are that desperate (yet) to ditch him on a free....
SAF hasn't been conclusive at all, if there's no interest in a player you say there's no interest in the player. You dont say there's no real interest in a player. You dont have a go at a journo because they put quotes about him being given a take it or leave it offer if there's nothing to the story.
As for me remaining hopeful I'm not really fussed tbh, if he comes then great if he doesn't we've still got enough to the win the Premership and as that's the bread and butter so I'm content enough with that. Even with Sneijder in the team we'd still get tonked by Barca so he's not the be all and end all
Dunno how much they spent on him but he's been at the club for what 5 years now? I'd wager he's spent most of that on loan to other clubs or playing in the reserves rather than being in and around the first team
This is pretty much exactly what I think too.
I'd like to think something could be done tactically that meant we could beat Barca if we face them but I really don't think there is. Not without relying heavily on luck, anyway.

That's a very negative attitude are you even a real fan? I didn't see you repeating this when i said that the quality of barcas signings were higher than our own opening the gap further as opposed to closing it like you would have presumably hoped. very odd.
That would mean the club would have to pay off the rest of his contract though because I can't see Xisco giving up a few million quid.
I dunno, in hindsight (and I've said this a gazillion times before) we got the tactics totally wrong at Wembley IMO. The team we played is the one I predicted and wanted to see before hand but it just didn't work.
Next time match them up in midfield rather than go 4-4-2, play with more energetic players like Anderson and Fletcher and maybe have more faith in the likes of Nani rather than play it safe with Valencia and Park.
Obviously it was hard to include Anderson and Fletcher last season as they were both lacking fitness at the time but Carrick and Giggs just didn't have the legs to contain them for 90 minutes and as a result Park and Valencia ended up doing more defensive work than getting involved in an attacking sense leaving Hernandez totally isolated and Rooney not really knowing what he was meant to be doing.
Front 3 of Young, Rooney & Nani with a midfield of Carrick, Anderson & Fletcher/Cleverley/Giggs next time. Not saying the final result would be any different but it's certainly couldn't be any worse than Wembley

Odd one that, I'm fairly sure that he set up Zero goals for Carol last season. Downing had better be ready for a lot of tracking back.
10 first team appearances in 3-4 years and he's just gone back to Deportivo La Coruña on a permanent deal (just checked the wikipedia on this front, though the permanent part of the loan seems to conflict with the teams website so bah he's gone either way)
Another mile stone of Newcastle wasting money pruned from the squad...
