Brighton sign...

[richmond]

On paper he sounds a good signing but his career is littered with injuries. From Wikipedia: 'Constant injuries would mean Vicente would also fail to make the final cut for the 2006 World Cup, Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup'.

Lets hope this works out for him and Brighton

Is he a free agent?

 

[Gritt23]

Interesting signing, although it does sound like he'll be keeping Hoskins and Buckley company in the treatment room more than the pitch.

 

[huge]

do we need another winger?

 

[Danny-Boy]

Give someone for Calde to swear at on the pitch then.

agreed " Unfortunately for Vicente even more injuries would cripple him and essentially his career end with Valencia right now is because of injuries. "

Odds on failing the medical?

Do you think we could wrap him in bubble wrap and have Greer on his shoulder to deck any defender that comes near him?
It's not so bad if he's on a free but how much are his wages likely to be? I bet it's a 1 year deal.

Gus is showing his intention of going for promotion this season,that being the case a short term contract would make sense.imho

If hargreaves can pass one, any one can!

Except Lualua... supposedly.

Thats a very good point!

I reckon the plan is to sign him on a season long deal. Keep Lua Lua on loan until the end of the season then Bosman Lua Lua in. Great money saving tips from Woodchip.

Except he won't be a Bosman as he's under 23 or whatever the age is.

 

[Biscuit]

what 'international' were Palace banging on about signing?

 

[Woodchip]

OK, not a bosman, but the compensation will surely be less than the £1.x million that was being banded around as his asking price. Probably £500,000 compensation as he's only played 1 game for them in the time he's been there.

Southa Africa was it?

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

Or a Finnish under 21 right back or something.

But don't forget there will be dark cloud of his injury record should we complete this incredible signing coup - which will be evidence enough for the palarse that in fact it is a shit signing, we are stupid, he won't play, he'll be on £60,000 a week leading us to bankruptcy and in fact he never played for Spain or Valencia anyway it is all just a figment of our 'delusion and arrogance' (the most common slurs aimed at us)... so just look forward to that!!

Pretty much what we said to them about them signing Edgar Davids, and we were right that time!

Sage point. Fortunately this one still has the potential to work out well. Possibly. We'll see!
