KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Jose Enrique LB

Apparently Commoli was watching him and I think he has improved a lot. His attacking play, dribbling and passing is quite good.

May not be the best LB but i think he would adapt and slot in to our team quickly.

5 mill?

think its fair to say he's a better player than konchesky haha

one of newcastles better players so maybe in this day and age they would demand more money. would much prefer us go out and spend the money on a solid, quality investment that could potentially last us many years like coentrao (aged 22). could slot in on the wing too but works hard in defence. the kid must be the hottest prospect with a left foot in world football bar gareth bale... we need out and out quality to improve the squad luis enrique has some potential but he also has the potential to be just another squad player on the dead wood pile.

This is the pertinent point. We don't need more squad players - we have a whole squad full of them already. We need quality, and while quality costs a lot of money we must not be afraid to spend it, otherwise we're just going to continue to tread water as an "if only..." club.

Enrique is a solid player. I would support the decision to buy him because:
a) he's already used to the pace and nature of the premiership
b) he's already used to living in UK.

Seeing as we don't have any left-footed LB at the moment (1st team or backup), I would consider this player as a rival to whoever is signed to become the prominent LB. Because there is not enough competition in all positions yet.

Cocentrao would be a good signing but may not be effective immediately as he would need time to adapt.

Perfect solution i must say, young & PL proven, would cost 10-12 million, he isn't an international which is weird but i'm sure if he was then his price would've doubled up already

id imagine coentrao to operate out wide for us. if we were to get rid of aurelio then i'd take enrique in a heartbeat at £5m. that would give us some serious quality and depth for the future and possibly solve one half of the winger dilemma
