KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Arsenal commence talks with Jose Enrique

"The news has come in this morning that Roma have put in a sensible bid for Gael Clichy, which means that Arsene Wenger is now in the market for a suitable replacement. Liverpool were the first club to bid for the Arsenal left-back and it now seems that Wenger is going to challenge Dalglish for the Newcastle defender Jose Enrique.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for Enrique for some time, but today the Times reports that the Gunners have opened negotiations with Enrique’s agents with a view to moving to the Emirates.

The Newcastle boss Alan Pardew admitted this week that his offer to the Spaniard to stay at St. James Park has fallen on deaf ears and it looked like they had reached a dead end.

Pardew said: “He has Champions League aspirations and he is waiting to see whether anyone who has qualified for that competition is willing to come in for him,”

“That is his right and there isn’t much more we can do about it.

“We have tried as hard as we can, in the financial situation we are in, to keep him. We offered him an excellent deal, but he doesn’t seem to be interested in signing it at the moment. It is frustrating – but that is the situation we are in.

“It is up to him, but he wants to see what else there is for him.”

So it seems that Arsenal are now hot favourites to sign him, because the last time I looked, Liverpool weren’t in the Champions League. Perhaps this time next year…."

What is happening?

Looks like we may lose out on both we do we stand with LB options now? Any ideas who may be available now? Looks like we may have makeshift LB of youth next year hope KD and DC can pull something out of the bag of we will have a very weak left side again next year and it will seriously damage our chances

Johnston has some of his best performances from left back last season. I'd be happy to play him them regular. He seems to concentrate on defending.

We can be pretty crap in the transfer market. Is this year going to be any different? Not looking good so far. I'm just hoping these are all smokescreens for better buys.

Seems the club wants to give the impression it's about to do a complete haul over. Don't know what to believe.

That would be good. We were playing well with those players on the full back position on the second half of the season. Must remember we still have Fabio Aurelio and Emiliano Insua who can also be a back up to Glen Johnson and Jack Robinson at the left back position.

Paving the way for Aly Cissokho to be on the next plane to Merseyside.
