Vicente in talks with two clubs..

After reading this thread, I had to watch this again, twice! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqNl6aq-OrA

I'm expressing a perfectly valid opinion on a forum. I'm won't be changing my tone.

But you weren't were you. You were being patronising to other poster suggesting they didn't know how good he was.

My chest would swell with a slow-beating distress if Vicente went anywhere else in the UK. If his choice is over nation rather than town, then fine. If he's somewhere else near here, then i'd turn my back when the ball approached him and he shuffled his way around our inferiors.
He's vital to keep, i think. I wouldn't have it that all our play must go through him as the monotony of that for anyone but Vicente would be confidence-shafting over time. A few quality pros should allow him to be part of a midfield diamond and not the only sparkling corner of it. A pre-season with him there should make us an impressive jigsaw and not one of inseverable pieces already completed in the box when opened.

I know this probably sounds silly, but the weather and culture in this country are all factors.
We are lucky in the fact the most players love the area. And again this may sound stupid but the weather down here is slightly warmer than up north.

 

[Rodney Thomas]

Of course if he doesn't sign Vicente will become this mythical figure that all Albion fans will talk about forever more.

I'm looking forward to sitting in a pub prematch in 20 years time and uttering the words "remember when vicente played for brighton, he was useful..."

TBF they clearly don't.

Those saying re we hardly won with Vicente in the side - one word - COINCIDENCE. We were on / went on 2 bad runs and he happened to come in at that point. I do agree with TCB though, that we did put too much through him and over used our 'secret' weapon a little.

We were FAR better with him in the side than without and he was in my mind the best player in the league by some distance. Would love him to sign but if he doesn't I will kind of understand why and certainly won't be saying 'f*** him' (unless he joins Palace or someone in our lg of course)

no one signs a new contract in june.

 

[Deleted member 22389]

We looked like Spain with him in the side lol.
Even if he does not come back, what a privilege it has been to see such an amazing player.
When he was playing for Spain what division where we in?

 

[Storer 68]

According to Naylor and his source..



It's going to be hard for Gus to get his signature..

and why should not one of the two club be US??

 

[The Large One]

Oh right, we just need a better squad then. That shouldn't cost much.

Sadly, that's about the size of it.

I agree but having missed out on Mattock and seemingly unable to tie up the keeper we are after you have to wonder if we are actually in a position to bring in real quality. Maybe it's all about bluffing and everything will turn out well but my negative nature makes me think we might not be able to improve on last year, unless we go down the loan route again. This would hardly encourage Vicente to stay imo.

May I respectfully suggest you take this negativity within you, extract its DNA, pummel the living shit out of it, put what's left in a box, encase it in concrete and dump it in some Third World nuclear waste site somewhere?

And then grab yourself a cup of tea, put something on by The Four Tops, and smile at the sun.

Brap! 'Nother pint of Liquid Optimism please, Landlord...

The statistics regarding Vicente are interesting but quoting them ignores the context and other variables such as the other players, the opponents, at what point he came on/left the pitch etc.

However back to the original post..... Vicente came to Brighton to try and restart his career. It looks like he has managed to do that.

Does he owe the club and the fans something? Maybe..... but you could say that he has already paid us back with some fantastic memories.

I'll never forget his run and shot against Derby or the two goals against Portsmouth, or when he chested the ball down and played it in for Buckley to score.

TBH I'd rather if he left thatI had happy memories of his time here, but then I love football not statistics.

Why do we have this shit every Summer? How many players had we signed this time last year? How many big Championship signings have happened so far? Chill the f*** out, there are 9 WEEKS to go until the start of the season, and 11 WEEKS until the transfer window closes. Plenty of time.

But the panicking and headless-chicken-style fretting makes all the more enjoyable the day where we make the inevitable big signing (a la CMS / Vicente.) I'm up for wallowing in depression in order to make the euphoric late summer splurge taste so much sweeter.

What does splurge taste like?

Do you think we stand above all other clubs in the country, nay the worlld, when it comes such levels of frenetic, pointless paranoia?

 

[Los Che]

Of course he is in contacts with two clubs,with Brighton,and with Hove,but I heard third club is trying to steal him in front of them,my sources are saying this third club is Albion.

Ok,now seriously,my club (Valencia) became so shit in last few years,that we are in contacts and are buying only 2nd league players in last couple of years.So beware,we might be interested for one of your players,including Vicente too.

 

[dingodan]

We helped him get fit and start playing again.

I demand that he stay.

Someone tell him please.

Yes, everyone is getting so flustered it's unnecessary!
