Isn't that J69?!

 

:icon_lol:

 

Enrique is extremely highly rated in Spain. I know I spoke highly of Luque, but if we manage to pull this transfer off I'll be over the moon.

 

 

shut up man you'll put your luque curse on him!

 

to be fair though, he can't do worse than our previous two spanish imports...

Do people still reckon we've got no money to spend btw?

 

I think we've got plenty, but we're being much more careful with it.

 

If a player we want becomes available I think we'll go for them but we wont get robbed blind.

And we won't just go for players who are available. I'm pretty sure we could have had Luke Young if we'd wanted him and we could do with a right-back but I get the feeling we'll only sign players the manager really rates.

SAM ALLARDYCE today completed the £4.2m signing of 21-year-old Spaniard Jose Enrique Sanchez Diaz – and then set his sights on the last piece of his jigsaw in the shape of Serbian defender Ivica ‘Drago’ Dragutinovic.

 

And the United boss was still catching his breath today after what was a whirlwind weekend, even in his vast experience, in which United snatched Enrique from under the noses of both Manchester City and Liverpool.

 

Big Sam could not hide his delight at getting Enrique on a five-year contract even though it cost him 6m from Villarreal.

 

Even though he had to virtually break off negotiations for Drago when he was alerted that the Spanish outfit were willing to let him have Enrique.

 

Allardyce told me today: “When we get Enrique signed it will finalise an excellent few days for us. As far as Dragutinovic is concerned, if it is still a possibility then I will try and pursue it this week.”

Allardyce will be hoping that even though United do not have the £6m they were expecting to bank for Kieron Dyer it will not stop him signing Drago for £2.5m from Seville.

 

And, speaking for the first time about Enrique, Big Sam told me today: “We will be getting a very experienced central defender to go with a very talented and experienced Premiership player in Alan Smith, who knows what it takes to win a championship, and also a good central defender in Cacapa.

 

“In Enrique we have signed a player who has huge potential at a very good age and who has already broken into the first team at Villarreal.”

 

The signing of Enrique and the hoped-for arrival of Drago means it looks as though Allardyce has lost patience with Celestine Babayaro and nobody can blame him for that.

 

The Chronicle reported in our later editions on Saturday that Allardyce has turned his attention to Enrique and Drago after making a £5m bid for Leighton Baines – £3m down and £2m at the end of the season.

 

This bid was accepted by Wigan, but Allardyce was aware that Baines wanted to go to Everton – and this looks likely to be the case.

 

United turned to Drago, and negotiations were so advanced on Friday night that it was reported in some quarters on Saturday that the 31-year-old Serbian international had actually signed.

 

But when Allardyce was informed that Enrique was up for grabs it was all systems go for the Spanish Under-21 left-back.

 

Allardyce added: “Either our chief operating officer Russell Cushing or chairman Chris Mort got a phone call which said the player was available.

 

“I asked the price and said “go” and they went. And in 24 hours he was here.

 

“Russell Cushing and Chris Mort are the reasons Enrique is signing for us rather than Liverpool or Manchester City.”

 

"Though everything is signed and sealed, the only confirmation we now need is Jimbo's telly on Toontastic".

 

Meanwhile, the only downer for Allardyce was the breakdown of Dyer’s transfer to West Ham after the London outfit said that United had hiked the price up from £6m to £8m.

 

The Chronicle said on Saturday night that West Ham would not resurrect the deal, and Dyer is still a United player – leaving a lot to be sorted out once the dust has settled.

I think we aren't going to see the massive funds that we might have hoped for after being taken over by a billionaire (at first at least) but it certainly seem that there is enough for us to make the positive steps forward that we need.
