Vicente to Villareal?

[bhawoddy]

Buckley,Noone,LUUUUUUA LUUUUUUUA!! Maybe not quite Vicente,but more flair than we`ve had for 30 years.Cheer up.

Yeah, fine on the wings but a f***ing great hole in the middle of the park is where our problem lies!!!

Ah, good old Google Translate

that clears it up then !!

It doesn't matter how good it is, it's in Spain.

The last time I checked Brighton wasn't.

Naturally ... but it assumes he has this great longing to return to Spain and whilst I agree it would be a consideration for anyone I've seen nothing to suggest that would be his first consideration.

Me neither. I can only really see him going back to a top division spanish side, not a serie b Italian one.

You know villareal is in Spain, not Italy ?

Made me laugh

 

[Zebedee]

Dicker, Harley, sparrow etc.... should all be able to do what Vicente did for us!!

Surely, otherwise they would have been shown the door, right

You would have thought so but sadly not.

Just "researching" - this rumour does appear to be based on a fans' blog rather than an "in the know" football journalist. Yes it has been published in the local paper but we have people on here who write in the local Eastbourne press or for SKy or Your Brighton or whatever it is that Tim does................... are any of them more credible than, say, NSc as a source of bona fide information? I think I'm going to relax about this one until something more positive/professional comes of it (or not!).

I don't agree. Of course he is good enough to play for a top division side, but if his family decision due to his latest kid, is to stay in Spain. Villereal is very close to Valencia, he and his Mrs could live local to where they come in Valencia, Vicente could drive to work each day, and they will be in their home city with all their family and friends around them.

Joining Villereal would be a family/lifestyle choice, if not the best footballing one.

Imagine you're a championship quality player, who comes from Brighton and left Brighton to go Spain, 1 year later your Mrs is preggers and wants to live back at home in Brighton, you're still championship quality, but Crawley come in for you......... it would be the same in reverse

Did I miss something? Where did the speculation come from about his desire to move back to Spain? Vast numbers of examples of players shifting all over Europe and I'm not sure why it seems Vicente has a burning desire to return just yet. Gus and Tanno are hardly locals

100% spot on - could not be better put.

Just have to wait now and see what transpires and whether one fan's postulation translates into the club making an offer.




It's a long summer already

End of last Season both Gus said (and stuff in Argus) that Vicente had to think about the decision as his Mrs was pregnent and is due to have another kid, which would be hard without family/friends around in a country whose language they dont speak.

That seems to be the key driver in Vicente's thinking. Its family first not football

OK .. then I did miss something .. cheers!

 

[JCL666]

Aren't they seen as Valencias rival?

Que?

Where has a Serie B Italian side (or any Italian side, for that matter) been mentioned?

Oh dear...I'm really not awake this morning...

Villareal's boss died recently just 24 hrs after joining them from one of the other relegated teams.

guess they need to be getting on with rebuilding at some point

 

[LadySeagull]

This bit actually says he's not against the idea of a return to Spanish football. Not sure where they get this info from though.

Yep, I only got O level Spanish but I love the language, and this bit has been translated wrong: ''The player does not look favorably on seeing the option to return to Spanish football,''

The Spanish version says ''El futbolista no vería con malos ojos la opción de volver al fútbol español'' = literally! ''the footballer doesn't view with bad eyes the option of returning to Spanish football''

one factor in assessing the validity of the rumour is that a managerless club might not be in a position to actively recruit players just now.......................

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

I had a dream last night...he is staying with us and has told Gus he is happy to stay. In my dream Gus said 'lets dance together' Vicente agreed that they should dance together (i think that means they want to work together as my dream had no other reference to dancing).

So do we believe a blog written by the Spanish equivalent of HB&B
