The Vicente will he/won't he saga [Season 2: 2012] [merged threads]

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Same source that told me yesterday about Vicente being very close to signing said one of the others is a full back from West Brom, not Reyes, a left back.

Nicky Shorey?

The "two signings that will help him" sounds VERY promising, considering Gus's comments last season about needing players of a higher quality to play with Vicente.

I read it as help Gus but if it means help Vicente then that is exciting!

Gus said "help him". Why would he talk in the 3rd person?

 

[Notters]

It's a quote so it must be referring to Vicente.

 

[Gritt23]

If its true, I say all us NSC fellows should all meet up! And have 1 massive group wank over a massive picture of Vicente! I'm

I'm ok with that

If I was Vicente, that vision may just have me sign for Malaga instead.

 

[BensGrandad]

I take it to mean help him being Vicente rather than help me being himself but we must remember that sometimes he gets confused with his English in his excitement.

 

[Bold Seagull]

I expect it will only be another 1 year deal (if he does sign), but I would love him to sign a 2 or 3 year deal.

I'd take a month just to see him in a Brighton shirt again. A year would be utterly amazing for a player of his class. 2 to 3 year deal, well, it would be unreal, not sure I'd be able to contain my excitement!

 

[Birdie Boy]

I thought he was solid in defense but very decent offensively as well- no idea were the not exciting bit comes from okay he's not marauding forward every attack but he gets forward and makes decent runs enough. It might be the way we play also.

I sit in the East Stand and trust me, he used to get forward a lot in the first half of every game, unfortunately, no bugger ever passed to him. He was always in acres of space but for some reason the players seem to want to play near the West Stand or by the bench, maybe to get noticed by Gus! Gutted that he didn't sign for us.

 

[Kumquat]

He must be referring to a physio and a doctor then if it's Vicente.

Now now!

 

[leigull]

I presumed he was referring to the addition of more Spanish speaking players to help him intregrate better with the squad, rather than help him on the pitch itself

 

[n1 gull]

Hopefully a giant midfielder to protect him from all them Northerners wanting to kick lumps out of him

 

[Frutos]

Does the "two signings that will help him" refer to two that will help Gus/the team in general or more specifically two of the kind of calibre that would persuade Vicente to sign on the dotted line?

Either way, I think we are in for a very exciting time in the coming days and weeks....imminently, I suppose you could say.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Genuinley brings a tear to the eye and makes the hairs stand on end every single time I watch that. It simply encapsulates the sheer and utter joy football brings going from the vague memories of trips to the Goldstone, Prestfield and Withdean. Bitterly cold days with completely different football, the comparison between then and now envokes such great appreciation of the team and how we've survived and come out the other end. Vicente as I said, seems to encapsulate all of this. Turly wonderful video.

I made this a couple of months and is always nice to read that people enjoyed it, thanks for the kind words

The giant NSC biscuit awaits!!!

I know I could do with losing a few pounds...

Surely the latter, as it is in quotation marks, and I doubt Gus suddenly decided to speak in the 3rd person.
