Do you want Vicente to sign for another year?

[Icy Gull]

I'm hoping he plays Saturday, especially as I will be there. If we keep him fit and give him game time, he will make a difference imo.

I'd quite like to be able to bounce this thread on Saturday evening after a masterclass from Vicente

Feel free, a few good matches doesn't justify paying his wages all year.

If he makes the difference over the next few matches between us making the playoffs/getting promoted and not finishing in the playoffs I think you're wrong

We'll know soon enough

 

[BensGrandad]

If he helps take us to Wembley then whatever he earns is money well spent. As I dont pay his wages or control the finances within the club I would vote a yes but I am sure that unless him signing is considered a viable proposition Tony Bloom or Paul Barber whoever controls the wages would not sanction it.

Maybe, if he has a DIRECT impact on play-offs, it'd be hard to disagree, however say we signed a player who gained us 1 point a month for the whole season on the wages Vicente is on, we'd be eight points better off now and well into the play-offs.

Maybe it'd be better to bounce at the end of the season when he scores the play-off winning goal

 

[BensGrandad]

Why are people on here concerned with his or any other players wages, that is not our concern, we must have trust in the business acumen of Tony Bloom and Paul Barber. As supporters all we want is the best available players to play for us and Vicente must surely come into that category.

You don't know what wages he is on, so to make comments on wages is pointless.

 

[portslade seagull]

My understanding is that Vicente is on a low basic wage, but good appearance money, so it's a YES from me.

My understanding is he is the best paid player at the club withou appearance money

We have cover for Vicente now and Orlandi and Spanish Dave have won us points, Vicente IS a luxury player I accept. It seems TB and Gus believe we can afford one of those with the squad we now have. A bit of magic at this end of the season will make it all worthwhile, sure it's a gamble but look who our chairman is.

From a purely selfish point of view I get to watch a player, infrequently maybe, who on his day is head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch. Why wouldn't I want more of that?

 

[portslade seagull]

Would rather have 2 players who will play 30-games each than 1 player just about making double figures .... and how many games have we won when he has played ? he might be class but class costs us points as he seems unable to track back or tackle

What makes you think I don't have an accurate idea?

That's not true.

Yeah, he's good to watch with his range of passes and dribbling ability, but I also find Orlandi, Lopez and Bridcutt exciting to watch and they all play regularly and are on about the same wage. I just think there are a number of skillful players in La Liga/Liga Adelante who would be equally exciting to watch as Vicente but play more games and would accept his wage.

 

[blue2]

Are we that good we could turn down the likes of Vincente I think not

 

[TheMajor]

Vicente - another year?

Very difficult question.

I am coming to the opinion that we struggle more with him in the side that not. He is an outstanding player but his presence does seem to affect others in a detrimental way.

 

[Soulman]

Best wait until the end of the season to decide. If he turns it on between now and the end of the season, it will be a yes from most.

 

[mitch]

i personally do not want him to sign again as i would rather we had a player who may not be as good but would hopefully play more games but still be a very good player,as the wages freed up must be a fair amount at a guess,all we have missed a lot this season is goals not supply.

Obviously your in the know lets just pretend you are

 

[Cheshire Cat]

There is no point having a fit but not-as-good alternative. We have plenty of these (rest of the squad). He is there to provide flair and what the others can't do, not just to run around a lot. It would help if he was seen more often admittedly. How injured was/is he?

 

[Hampster Gull]

Nope. Great player but too injury prone and seems to upset the teams balance when he returns for a game or two. I wish him well though.

 

[Thimble Keegan]

I would absolutely love him to stay next season as he is the best player I have ever seen wear the stripes. If we are in Championship next season and he can finally stay injury free, then with the likes of Ulloa and some summer recruits we can finish top...I really believe this...

Albion & England forever.

Yes. Don't know what he's paid so my opinion about if he's worth the money is meaningless.
