Confirmation Vicente has signed! [Season 1: 2011]

[Papa Lazarou]

Why? What has changed from last night to this morning? Chill and until you hear differently have faith in Gus and Bloom getting it sorted as they (well Gus at least) seem convinced will happen

Hope so. Worried about potential alternative offers.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Anyone else notice the change is title? Subtle hint from Bozza perhaps?

 

[Foolg]

You think Vicente DROVE from Spain to Brighton?

I got carried away, and suddenly thought MAYBE he had a car with him. I realise how thick this seems now, i've been up since 5 to be fair

 

[Rookie]

Hope so. Worried about potential alternative offers.

But why would they suddenly appear, other (bigger) clubs have had all summer to get in touch with him its not like he is some unknown player that has suddenly come on the radar.

Confirmed his fitness test? Is in England and more accessible? All paid by Brighton? Oh I don't know... can't make sense of it anymore.

I think throughout this entire saga it's been quite fair to say "or we might not be". The "staying in Brighton tonight" might not be true as of this morning, so had to go...

Cool - and relax.

To answer the question above - I'm not worried about Prem teams so much as other Championship teams with cash to splash trying an opportunistic punt, with a big salary attached, a la Southampton last season.

 

[Weststander]

BBC South Today & ITV Meridian obviously have sat.vans with journalists at the Amex?
Oh, I forgot. It's not connected with Southampton FC.

The boring Roger Johnson of BBC will give us 10 seconds with no footage, before 3 minutes is spent interviewing sore-loser-Adkins.

 

[Commander]

If he buggers off to Southampton at the last minute, does that give us another pantomime villain for this season?

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

are we on 31 or 32?

 

[ees complicated no?]

this what i have been saying and people response is ... to see if he passes his fitness :S all clubs get new players to have medicals !!! im still 90% he is ours

Hunter told The Argus: "I think he deserves the English stage and it is ideal for him to be at a club with good, young, hungry, successful players with a very talented manager and a brilliant, visionary owner (Tony Bloom).

"That is where Vicente should be. He is far better off there than at, for example, a slightly bigger name like West Ham or Blackburn. Brighton is the place to be. It's on the up.

 

[DTES]

Cool - and relax.

I should point out that this is just my interpretation. It doesn't make me worry (any more than before), but I'm not a mod so don't take my opinion as gospel...

 

[Biscuit]

It'll happen. Hopefully today, but if not I'm not overly worried as I'm certain he'll sign for us soon.

 

[JetsetJimbo]

I'm not sure why we announced anything on deadline day, given that we didn't have to have the signing finalised by then, and all we seem to have done is alerted the rest of the world to the fact he's now (apparently) fit. The wait is killing me, but I'm sure it'll all come good in the end.

I like "certain". It makes me happy.

It was published by the Spanish newspaper wasn't it? I suppose the club could have denied it

I actually think the opposite. If he doesn't sign today, then I reckon the deal will be off. The hold up can only be about length of contract and perhaps some kind of get out clause (if he shines and a Prem league club shows an interest).

 

[supaseagull]

Can we change the thread title to something more optimistic?

 

[severnside gull]

I've moved beyond angst. The real world is still on hold and my existence, as throughout the past couple of days, revolves around regularly checking Twitter, the OS, the Argus and on here, whilst fitting-in a few minor but still entirely uncompleted household tasks. How sad is the life of a football fan with time on their hands...................................
