Jose Hopes For Good Reception

This is true, think its the same everywhere now, though I've seen players getting booed by a minority and cheered by most, Milner springs to mind.

 

I would be very disappointed if anyone boo'd Enrique. He was a brilliant player and left for good reasons, although he should have stated his intentions earlier on in the transfer window, but he should not be boo'd in respect of his performances for us...he was a god up here.

 

Pretty certain every single former player gets booed by at least a handful of people now, even if they left 5+ years ago . It's like some sort of crazy, insanely jealous ex-girlfriend who just can't get over it. That said, I will certainly be chuckling at the abuse Carroll will get an earful of.

 

Will be, though think the people that boo are probably annoyed that players can leave when they are earning such big wages.

 

I thought Enrique was the best left back in the Premier League until I was shown Leighton Baines' statistical record. I know statistics aren't everything but you really can't argue with his, he absolutely sweeps the board. Last season his cross completion was the highest of any player in the league, second most assists from defence in Europe behind only Daniel Alves over the past two years and the second most out of anybody in the Prem last season.

These are his 10/11 stats compared to Ashley Cole:

This. Booing Enrique is pathetic, and would just be booing for the sake of him being an ex player. He was fantastic for us, we all loved him, lets face it - he said he wanted to leave when it looked like Mike was going to **** things up again, and he wanted a chance to impress to get into the Spain squad, he saw Liverpool as the platform for that and who can blame him? They were spending big money.

Boo Mandy though.

 

And Bellamy

 

Nah.

Enrique's better.

 

But how many free-kicks has he scored? Eh!? Raylor ftw

 

Baines is hands-down one of my very favourite English players! He's such a versatile LB that plays his position so well, but could probably play in so many other positions. So much respect for the Everton guys like him who could play at a wealthier club, but instead go about their business every week and never are talked about in the media.

 

What's the plural of Judas? Just curious.

I won't boo enrique i still have a soft spot for him, I think he did really love the club but he thought where we thought we could be going and that is down.

 

Liverpool fullback Jose Enrique admits former club Newcastle United's success this season is a surprise.

That they head into the New Year in a healthy position has come as a surprise to Enrique.

"That is true," he told the Daily Mail. "They sold a lot of players – me, Joey (Barton), Andy (Carroll), Nobby (Kevin Nolan). When you sell a lot of players, normally the team drops but they are doing really well. Demba Ba has come in and is on fire this season. They are doing really well and I’m happy for them."

Can't blame him to be honest. It's easy to say were 7th now so why leave but at the time we were selling our so called best players. This booing of players is pointless as it spurs them on.

 

I won't be booing either of them. If a company offered me what looked like a brighter future and a pay packet which probably tripled my wage then I too would 'jump ship'. It shouldn't and isn't any different for a football player.

 

And if your company had just a few months earlier promoted you to the most important, popular and prestigious role in the business, a position famously held by legends and icons that you, your family, friends and everybody around you grew up worshipping; and you had just declared to everybody that you had full intentions of remaining in said position, you wouldn't expect them to be pretty annoyed with you when you buggered off and left them in the lurch with no chance of replacing you when you were just a few months into the job?

(Referring to the number 9 shirt here obviously.)

It makes sense that Carroll will get a lot of stick. I wouldn't boo, but that's because I'm a reasonably quiet sort of person but I would certainly understand why so many others were.

 

The level of hypocrisy that fans display on the subject of player loyalty never ceases to amaze me.

What level of layalty does a club or its fans have to a player ? Answer: zero.

Take Guittierez. hard worker, gives his all for the club, never been a hint of disployatly and a pretty useful winger to boot. All you could ask for, right ?

Now suppose we were offered a better player as a straight swap - - Ronaldo, Gervinho, Van Persie, whatever. Would any fan suggest that we shouldn't ditch Guittierez for a better player because of loyatly to Jonas?

No. No one would consider it for a second. Yet these fans who will dump any player if he starts playing cack or if a better offer comes along think that a player should turn down a chance to play for a better club out of some sense of loyalty to a bunch of people who have no loyalty to him.

Stupid, hypocritical nonsense.

Enrique did a good job for us. We were a good employer to Enrique. All square on both sides.

He still remembers us with affection. I reciprocate the feeling. He will always get a small round of applause from me.

 

Judi.

I'll boo him at SJP, no hard feelings but its football, the entertainment industry, frankly panto. Unless the players left on ridiculously good terms or been sold on with the player not asking for it boo them to bits. We moan about the atmosphere being **** at St James', and now we moan about booing ex players?
