Vicente not training with the rest of the squad.

[Caveman]

Gus will be saked this time next year and I'll bounce this thread.

You twit!

 

[BHAFC_AMEX]

Mmmm yeh maybe - I have heard different but ya never know what's true. Either way everone needs to lay off the bloke - give it a little more time FFS people.

Exactly! At least someone agrees with me. As I said, we should be grateful that he has played for us once let alone 5 times. If his wage was anything ridiculous I think Gus would be a bit less patient with him. But he's not, he' giving him a bit of extra time to get back to 100%.

I don't get the mentality really... A player being injured if anything there should be sympathy for him, instead Vicente is injured and everyone detests him and think the club are mental for signing him. Tommy Elphick... Is he a waste of wages? Buckley?

The Vicente deal is a win win situation whether he plays much or not. If he plays a handful of games he brings that national team class and can turn a game with a moment of genius. If he doesn't play he brings not only experience and knowledge of the game to the current first team and youth, but the signal the club sent out in being able to sign him in the first place is staggering, it shows we mean business and it shows how ambitious we are.

Yes it's frustrating etc etc - everyone wants to see him play. But people saying he should go back to Spain must have very little knowledge of football to say such a thing.

He had to splash the cash to sell season tickets. Buy big and the fans want some if the action and will buy tickets. Mr bloom has to keep the momentum up now as if he doesn't then season ticket sales could drop.

The latest in a long line of NSC cocks. Wind up or just plain ignorant - I don't care to hear from you again thanks. Ignore.

 

[LamieRobertson]

If anything it suggests they're working especially hard on his LONG TERM FITNESS.

Agreed. So many utter retards on here re: Vicente.

spot on

 

[GBT25]

I think you have to realise that if Vicente was fully fit, and able to maintain his fitness he would be playing in a league that is a level above us.

He is only 31 and clearly does have fitness issues hence why he joined a lower league team to try and get back to match fitness.

I think Gus took a flyer on Vicente and we should all get behind him and hope he gets back to being fit and playing a string of games for us in the New Year. I am sure he does not want to be in the sidelines.

 

[El Presidente]

Buckley? Our most talented player by a country mile in my view.

Whoosh!

 

[Rugrat]

He played 17 games last season. The only time he hasn't played more than 10 games was his first season in football.

Then I stand corrected - soz. Were they starts?

I agree entirely. Given that Mr Bloom is a poker player hardly a surprise that we've gambled on Vicente and I still think it's a measured gamble. We haven't gone all in on a 2, 7 unsuited - there's a good chance that Vicente will be an end of season impact player and we'll f*** everyone over on the river!

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

And Harley. What frightens me is that Gus wanted to sign billy from Leeds in the summer.

Hate to think who Gus will spunk our money on. I'll hide behind the sofa when the transfere window opens.

Sorry, but you're an absolute IDIOT if that's how you think.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I can't see why everyone goes mental about this. Why rush him back? If he get's his fitness back in his own time and comes back as late as March I wouldn't care, when he does come back IF he's fit, he'd be absolutely astounding for us. The man is a genius with a football.

 

[Biscuit]

Personally, I have a huge amount of respect for a player who picks football over wages, and make no mistake he could have gone else where and been on A LOT more.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks he came to BRIGHTON for the MONEY is painfully thick as pigshit.

 

[Bruntburger]

Vicente is the best player I've ever seen in an Albion shirt.

I'm grateful he's here and when he fit to play we will all be claiming he's the best signing ever!

Well said, Bruntburger. Couldn't agree more.

It really pisses me off with some of the spiteful crap that people have put on here about the guy.
Show some respect, please.

And there was me thinking only women could be bitchy!!

 

[APACHE]

School's out!

 

[Albumen]

It's threads like this that make me question human intelligence.

The player is injured. It's frustrating but more frustrating for him. We're lucky to have him.

Painter makes timely return From The Argus)

Down the bottom. He's never going to play for us again is he?

Stop twisting things about. He had it at Valencia, now he has it us!

Vicente has struggled with injuries. An individual programme sounds perfect as he won't feel pressured playing catch up and can go at his own pace.
