Vicente has [not] signed [yet]

[eastlondonseagull]

Triple swoop to be announced on Monday. No news released today as it would have taken the shining off the headline that Palace megastar Sean Scannell was sold for £400k and has signed a three year deal with Huddersfield Town.

Who told you this M. Bargo?

Do you actually have news that is embargoed or was that just a joke attempt?

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

this has been a pretty poor June and not just the weather

 

[Southern Scouse]

It depends, did the joke strike a personal chord?

Not at all mate.

 

[Southern Scouse]

No mate, Owen's signing a one year contract with the mighty (cough,cough) stoke.

Vincente, Heskey and Murphy. I have it from a very good source.

Not that I'm really going to believe anyone until it's made official, but my thinking is this. "IF" vincente signs, and I think he will, he must have been assured of other signings that he is happy with. We "know" there are two other signings in the pipeline. For Vicente to be satisfied, these two signings will presumably be "notables", probably Prem players dropping down. I'd be a little surprised is Danny Murphy (I presume you mean him) dropped down, but it's not beyond the realms of possiblity. On balance, I'd probably take Heskey as well. So, this "could" be true, but I'll not bank on it, just yet.

Edit : Ok, probably not DM - just seen the Blackburn link.

Well obviously

 

[ifuhatepalacestandup]

i thought gus said the other day two signings where in the pipeline. This was before jfc and the new goalkeeping coach where signed

 

[JBizzle]

Can anybody please change the title of this thread? I get excited everytime I open NSC briefly only to remember its just another premature load of bollocks.

Don't think so. He was talking about making signings that would encourage Vicente, and no offense to Jake, Gus wasn't talking about him. I think he also said about 2 signings after Koosch was signed.

 

[jackanada]

Given they don't tend to pay their bills who do we think palace are going to spend their 400K on?

 

[the right footed denilson]

Clearly, he is going to sign, but clearly the OP is a joker. Why even bother??

Already spent it on Ward

I think he's going to sign too but I think that you're ascribing far more influence to an individual player (albeit of Vicente's class) than is warranted. It seems too much tail wagging the dog.

He's probably returning for a variety of reasons - because we got him fit and playing again, he enjoys the club & city environment, he gets good"Spanish" support from Gus & Calde, he knows the fans love him, he has a sense of loyalty and last and not least, we're paying him an acceptable wage.

He is obviously also aware of our aspirations but I don't think that "assurances" or him being "satisfied" with potential signings come into it as part of any contract negotiations.
