So because he is a MUCH better player than Kitson that means there is more reason to get rid of him?
Surely, knowing how BRILLIANT he is means we should give him MORE time?

Undoubtedly the best player I've ever seen in an Albion shirt. Even at Burnley (a) last season, where we were atrocious, he was an absolute different class to everybody else on the pitch. It was embarrassing; with better forwards that CMS and Barnes who played that day, we would've won that game easily. He must've played three/four perfect through-balls only for our forwards to miscontrol it/fall over etc etc.
Absolute class act, such a shame he doesn't appear to want to play. But to be be honest, it must be quite depressing for him having played alongside world class players for the majority of his career with Spain and Valencia, to have to deal with the likes of Gary Dicker. Harsh?

If its so depressing to play alongside the likes of Dicker etc then either retire or do something about it to play for a club with so called better players . The only way to do that is to play better so that someone else then wants you to play for them with their better players !

One man can't make a team, no matter how good he is, especially playing the position he does which RELIES on having quality players in front of and around him. It has been patently obvious in the games I've seen him play that he is at least three steps ahead of his teammates in footballing intelligence and quality of touch. He gets his head up and sees Ashley Barnes standing offside, Gary Dicker trying his best (God bless him) to keep up with play - what can he possibly do?!

I hate it when the 'sick note' gets thrown around. No one knows the true extent of the injury, and what's happening. At 30 odd years old, his body is just not what it once was. If we get more games out of him than we did last year, then I'm happy. We coped very well without him, and he'll only add to what we currently have when he's fit and ready to go.

Who'd have ever thought a Brighton fan would be saying those words? Mad
If Vicente was a 19 year old youth team graduate with injury problems, no one would have this opinion.
However, because people expect SO much from him (because he is insanely good), they lose COMPLETE context.
Yes, we want him to play, and it's frustrating, but it's not like he's TEVEZ and has gone off on a jolly. He is making sure he comes back 100%. It is WELL worth the risk.
The club would OBVIOUSLY have factored this is when offering him a contract so its not like its going to be bankrupting us. Its a risk and one I would take every time in the same situation.

What exactly is he off "sick" with, what's his injury?

We'll need him at this rate to keep us up! Relegation candidates on form.
As much as I love watching Vicente I'm really bored of his injury saga. He'll move back to Spain next year and play 20-25 games.

18 League appearances for us in total, we've won just 4 of those he played in. I love watching him play but the stats suggest he's all tits and no fanny.

Dean Blackwell was also injured midway through his contract. I remember the club paid his wages for the final whole season before he was released and retired from the pro game.

He wouldn't like Christmas around my gaff, Vicente, so i hope i don't unwrap him on that day. He's probably up for music and dances and boardgames for the family and maybe gorging on some sort of skewered boar. He'll get none of that around mine. I'm going to be broiling my regular vegetarian lunch of quorn gonad appetiser followed by a roasted Linda McCartney Soya Bean Armadillo Heart Pie main and half a pint of chip fat to wash it all down. We then turn the radio up loudly so as not to hear each other's annual gripes and make sure we wear outfits that match the seats we're sat on as to chameleonically blend into our surroundings and remain unseen until it all ends and homelife and regularity is reformed.

Roque Santa Cruz?
Anyways reckon he'll be back just after Christmas - play a couple of blinders including the Watford game on telly and then we'll sell him in the transfer window.

I am torn between some of the negative comments on this board and my memory of him coming on against Portsmouth in the last 30' last season, gliding around like he was from another planet and scoring twice.
