There has been a lot of talk about Jose leaving in the summer and after his most recent interview he wouldn't commit himself either way, which would suggest he is looking more than likly to leave. But it got me thinking, at the start of the year Jose came out and said once we are safe in the EPL then I'll look to sign a new contract, this was achieved last weekend and he's even acknowledge how the crowd were singing his name. But he still won't commit. But after seeing last nights Liverpool result is Jose watching to see if Liverfool get into Europe first before deciding whether to stay or go? He's always said he wants european football, something we won't be challenging for, for some time.
I think he's looking at how the team will be strengthened in all honesty. If the club prove their ambitions by bringing in the players required to move up another level and challenge at the right end of the table for European spots then he'll sign on the dotted line. Should key players be sold then he'll be off and I won't blame him.
I've resigned myself to the fact that he will be leaving...... and as many have said before me no man is bigger than the club. So if he wants to leave then so be it! I for one won't be losing any sleep over it, even if he does go to the bin dippers.............that's life and you just have to get on with it. On another note if Pardew has any savvy he'll know that Enrique doesn't want to stay and come the summer we'll move quickly to replace him.
Yup, I think he's waiting to see who will be bought in the summer. He's obviously very sceptical of Ashley, so he's making sure that all the money will be given and some top players will be brought in. I think he's more likely to stay if that happens.
