In the last couple of days, we heard Pardew's disappointment over Jose's response towards the new contract offer. Jose is playing hardball and is stalling on his decision.
Pardew has revealed Jose is ambitious and will want to move to a club that will offer him Champions League football. Therefore, Liverpool won't be his first choice club although they have the potential to break into the UEFA scene within a season.
"He has Champions League aspirations and he is waiting to see whether anyone who has qualified for that competition is willing to come in for him," Pardew said.
"That is his right and there isn't much more we can do about it. We have tried as hard as we can, in the financial situation we are in, to keep him.
"We offered him an excellent deal, but he doesn't seem to be interested in signing it at the moment. It is frustrating - but that is the situation we are in.
"It is up to him, but he wants to see what else there is for him."
Jose is a quality left back and at 25 he's yet to reach his peak. We as fans can understand if he would prefer a move that would match his ambition, but Liverpool? Why sell to the top teams to only make them better than we are and create a further distance to catch up?
I'd rather see Jose move to a foreign club preferably in Spain as i really wish him the best and hope he breaks into the Spanish squad.
But this silent treatment has got to stop! If he wants to leave, then please do so, don't drag us down with you, the window is a long way to go but we would really want to tie up a replacement asap should he decide to leave.
