Let’s face it; why else would he want to stay at Newcastle?

The rumours concerning Sunderland’s interest in Newcastle’s Jose Enrique have been in full-swing today.

After a last-ditch attempt to sign Maynor Figueroa at the end of the summer transfer window Sunderland have been continuously linked with left-backs. George McCartney has failed to cement his position in the side and more recently Ricco has been Brucie’s preferred choice in that position. It’s a clear signal that not only have we got a problem filling the role but Steve Bruce would like to improve the side in that area come January.

I think it’s safe to say, the majority of Sunderland supporters would prefer Figueroa over Enrique.

No doubt when the mags start to stumble Enrique will be the first player on the phone to his agent complaining that Hughton has misspelled his name on his Birthday card and that he’ll never play for Newcastle again…oh but he loves the fans and they have the best stadium in the UK. Well…between Scotland and Sunderland that is.

Enjoy playing in the fizzy pop league our little Spanish camarero.

We want Figueroa Brucie, any chance you can make it happen?
