Jose Enrique move seems imminent

Jose Enrique has launched a scathing attack on his current club Newcastle criticizing the North East club's transfer policy and lack of ambition. The Spanish left back posted his feelings on his Twitter and made them abundantly clear as he bemoaned the departures of Andy Carrol and Kevin Nolan from the club, both of whom were major influences in Newcastle's Premier League campaign last season.

Enrique posted, "They lie all the time. But is no for money is because they don’t want spend in the club and bring quality players that’s why everybody go.” He did however mention that he loved the fans of the club and thanked them for supporting him which would seem like a last farewell to the fans and an indication that they may have seen him for the last time in the black and white stripes of Newcastle United.

The comments come at a time when it is expected that the Spanish left back himself will be sold by the club following reported interest from Liverpool and Arsenal, the latter having recently sold Gael Clichy to Manchester City and seeing Jose Enrique as the ideal replacement. The rant will only have served to intensify the transfer speculation surrounding the player as it seems unlikely that a player would release such an angry attack on a club they were intending to stay with. Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has been trying to entice Enrique into signing a new contract but thus far has had no success and in his attack Enrique claims that this is because the wage offer was "the money I have already."

Following this outburst it would appear that a move for Jose Enrique is moving ever closer and it seems only a matter of time until Newcastle will be forced to accept an offer while they can still get a price for him as the Spaniard's current deal runs out in a years time.
