Vicente Still Not in Full Training?

[Wilko]

We don't want to send him anywhere where it's going to be an ugly Monday night, raining and cold. I don't think he would like that.

I am going to have a word with my boss and see if I can arrange to only work on days when there is sunshine, I do not really like getting up and going to work on rainy, cold days. Mondays in particular I do not really like. I will get back to you all after my meeting and tell you how I get on.

He will not be here next season I suspect so it would be nice to see something from him.

Agreed , we will be looking at bringing in another player of his experience , stature and skill who is less injury prone.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

He is Vincente he plays when he wants.

He plays when he wants

He is Vicente

He plays when he wants.

Right Next.

Interesting quotes from Gus. It's almost as if he's deliberately trying to expose Vicente as a very difficult player to manage.

Last week Tano said he was a loner and now this. That said, the guy is such a brilliant player it's hard not to want to put up with his personal failings if there is even a slim chance he might be available to play a few games before the end of the season.

To be fair to Vicente, they are Gus words and not his. Also, sometimes the context gets lost in typed quotes. Was Gus laughing and joking when he came out with that comment?

Its obvious his fitness does have to be managed and it would be stupid to throw him in on a very slippery, boggy pitch after spending this much time building up his fitness.

At the end of the day he is a luxury player. A bit like a ferrari - and after all how reliable is a ferrari......but I bet we would all want one on the rare days that we can actually drive it.

Not quite the same analogy is it? Putting the roof up on a convertible car, turns it into a normal car. A Ferrari is no ordinary car and Vicente is no ordinary player. Both top end, both unreliable, both wanted.

but when they go they go like sh*t off a shovel.

He is sucj a joy to watch when he's playing.. total class. I think Gus is playing this right. You cant put him out with the reserves on a cold wet monday night. I'm sure Gus is treating him differently and he probably should.. He could make all the difference with a string of appearances..

At the end of the day a previously injury prone Vicente wanted out and we forced him to come back AFTER Gus previously publicly said he could go if he wanted too. A very high risk strategy as he could always play the injury card and still get paid. Saying that I still believe that Vicente is up for it with us when he's properly fit.

What is completely unprofessional is the language people at the club use when discussing Vicente, very poor PR, but then that is Poyets forte I guess. It should be a shut case of he's injured and no more until that situation changes. The current insinuation and Naylor stirring of any Vicente omment is breeding this nonsense and pure conjecture which people then convince themselves is fact amongst supporters

yeah guess so.. what i was trying to say i guess is that he needs to get his head down and be seen to be making more of an effort .. On the whole he is adored at brighton to almost hero worship status... you would think he would love to be out there lapping it up

I agree. He was injured lots last season as well.. that wasnt because he didnt want to be here. He is a bit crocked but I think he wants to play.. when he took his shirt of after scoring last season he looked pretty happy to be here! I think he still is... maybe not his misses but who knows.

 

[DIFFBROOK]

I agree with that.

I wonder if at the age of say 21 and just starting out and had these type of probelems, whether he would have pushed himself harder to play.

At his age he is bound to get aches and pains, I bet no player is totally pain free at his stage of his career.

[grummitts gloves]

Just save him to unleash against Palace and show Zaha what real class looks like.

 

[Seasidesage]

Fact is, scoring goals is our problem. Vicente is a master creator of chances and without a doubt the most talented player in the Championship. If we are to get promoted we need him in the big games to come...

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Maybe thats the plan. Keep him in cotton wool for the next few weeks then unleash him on 1/12...

 

[goldstone]

Still unable to fathom why Gus played him in that pointless game at Swindon. Stupid decision in my opinion.

 

[marshy68]

While I agree how long do we wait until it's time to say enough is enough and let Gus look for an alternative.
If Vicente isn't fit by the January window I'd let him go and bring in fresh legs for the second half of the season.

I think Dobbie will be the alternative playing as an attacking midfielder...

" It would be perfect for him to play but it would have to be a nice one. We don't want to send him anywhere where it's going to be an ugly Monday night, raining and cold. I don't think he would like that."

And that my friends says it all.

ahhhhhh, didums.....Is our manager really saying that about a member of the Brighton and Hove Albion playing staff?....I just bet that makes all the others feel wonderful.

For once, your negative drivel is right. It really was a ridiculous decision, I just cant see the thinking behind it. Massive mistake from Gus that one.

I imagine they are now targetting the home match v Leeds for the gifted one to return :beer::beer::beer:
