Enrique will wait and see

Newcastle full-back Jose Enrique is maintaining a diplomatic silence over his future as manager Alan Pardew looks to next season. The 25-year-old Spaniard has been widely tipped to leave Tyneside this summer after stalling on a new contract, with Liverpool reportedly heading the queue to acquire his services. However, Pardew has not given up hope of persuading he, Joey Barton and skipper Kevin Nolan to extend their stays at St James' Park. Enrique played his part in securing the club's Barclays Premier League status with a 2-1 victory over Birmingham on Saturday and was serenaded by the Toon Army, but he was giving little away about what may lie ahead for him afterwards. He told the Evening Chronicle: "It is always nice to hear that, but we will what happens. "The most important thing is the team. I know the fans like me a lot, but we will see."
