Jose Enrique (Newcastle United)

For £5.5 million don't think anyone can complain,decent player

Agreed. Glad to see we haven't been held to ransom for him.

Premier League proven too

Good solid signing there. I think Sunderland may be too soon, especially as Aurellio is fit at the moment.

Is £5.5m the believed price? If so that's decent and as Higgy says, glad we haven't been held to ransom.

Made up with this news....the jigsaw is almost complete.

Good player, good price, good stuff.

If he is signed in time, I wonder if he'll start ahead if a temporarily fit Aurelio on Saturday?

Just a CB to go and we have strength in depth which we have been lacking for years!

A centre half MsGerrard and we will be flying, I see no problem in throwing Enrique straight in for the Sunderland match, he has a full pre season behind him and has is used to the Premiership

Great news, and a good price too.  Welcome to LFC Jose!

Thought i would go check out a Newcastle United forum to check out their reaction to this deal and one comment stood out ....

"very average club with huge ambition"

I think they will find that is themselves and Sunderland not Liverpool .

Made up with this news....the jigsaw is almost complete.

honestly, i think we're one signing away from being complete premiership contenders. we need a big cb

I'm with you on that one Corbally...god this season is going be soooo exciting.

That's if we can get all the paperwork done by whatever the deadline is for weekend games. I think he'll be starting against Arsenal for sure.

Didn't realise he was so quick, was reading he had to chose a career in either football or sprinting. Also saw someone say when he arrives he will be the quickest player here.

Love that comment as from the Newcastle forum as well obviously that person is around 12 and unaware of our history. Amazing for such a small club all your best players want to come to us

Get in! A great result after a long courtship. Pleased at the talked about agreed sum. Good be the buy of the season!

He's not deceptively quick like a Downing, he has raw pace. His ability to knock a ball past an opponent and get there well ahead of them is amazing to watch.

Sources say 80% complete. Haha.

Jose Enrique vs Arsenal

Can't say I have seen a lot of him but from what I have seen he looks ideal. Didn't realise he was so fast, our left hand side is going to be flying with him and Downing. Good price to if the rumours are correct. CB, a striker and a tackling midfielder and then all we will need is some Brasso for all the cups.

The way he runs and moves reminds me of Alan Kennedy. 

Great signing if it goes through, think he's a terrific player. Will improve our team instantly. And for 6 million - bargain.

Welcome Mr Enrique 

Would be great to have a settled LB, with none of this playing RB at LB business.

I'm very pleased.

FSG has done a brilliant job this window, little talk and much action. Enrique very good signing.

His link up play with Jonas was very good last year. Even when they lost to us at Anfield that partnership down the left stood out. I'm hoping that he can develop an understanding like that with Downing quickly.

Was great to see him not afraid to pass it out of trouble in that video, and also how many times he was able to prevent a cross coming into the box. Also was beating players with relative ease and as has been pointed out already, he is pretty damn quick.

Very good player we are going to have on our hands here.

Great news. Good price as well. Welcome to the best club in the world Jose!
