Ok, its only a quote from Wikipedia, but it reportedly comes from the player himself during his Valencia injury saga and strikes me as possibly the crux of it all, in my opinion of course....

""On top of this, then they tell me maybe my injury doesn’t exist, and it is all psychological. It's very hard, I can’t stand it any longer. I’ve lost all confidence in the doctor...."

How many patient on house have been told that there's no real problem? We just need a brilliant, but mad, diagnostic expert to spend some time with Vicente. He'll solve it in the last segment.

Just far enough away from LDC
Sid Lowe at the Guardian flagged this up on a podcast when it was announced that we were signing him - that the medical team at Valencia believed there was largely nothing wrong with him and it was psychological.

Exactly, he came with baggage. That's why we got him and not a Premier league side.

It's like looking at attractive 35+ ladies. They're bound to have some baggage somewhere.

So in theory if we sorted out his psychological issues we would have an injury free easily prem standard midfielder?

No. We'd have one of the best left wingers on the planet for about 3 minutes until a top club nicks him from us.

As long as he stays injured / mental he's ours. Lets keep it that way.

Shall we do the same with Lua-Lua, Nooney, Buckley, Painter & Tanno who have all had trouble with their Hamstrings lately?
The same what exactly?... Vicente hasn't got a hamstring injury.

Being serious for a moment... this could be similar to Dartitus, writers block or even stage fright. Illnesses of the mind, which if it is the case that Vicente's injuries are imagined as opposed to being actually physical, are a completely different
matter. One might think that the only way to cure a person suffering in this way is to get that person playing at a level at which they feel comfortable and prove to them that their body is up to the task. Once confidence has been re-established, it will then be time to introduce them to a higher level. A stretch playing for the reserves might be an option. if it can be proven to Vicente that he is physically capable, we might then see what we have all been hoping for.

He hasn't got a hamstring injury - he's just hamstrung by injuries.

Before anyone asks it WASNT me who amended wiki. For the record I would LOVE nothing more than Vicente to be starting every week, bamboozling defences, laying on chances for CMS on a plate and chipping in with quality goals.

However as he has been here since SEPTEMBER Im not holding my breath.
