I reckon they did this so that Vicente could see the purely positive reaction from the fans, and - on the basis that we're a lovely bunch who never indulge in negativity or binfestery - that make his final decision to stay.
Oh.

'Gate'? GATE? GATE?
The laziest, most puerile, most over-used, over-shat, over-bollocksed, over-clusterfucked clichéd suffix - wrongly used considering its original term - in the entire glorious English language...
AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!
I'm OK now. Sorry 'bout that.
Using 'Uber' as a prefix is a far worse crime than 'Gate' as a suffix (unless you're actually German of course).
Thanks. Yes I really can't wait. The only game I saw last year (not on tv) was cov away and I left that wondering how we were not in relegation zone. I was in the cov end and they had a great time laughing at Casper.

I'm afraid you are incorrect. The '-gate' suffix is far more intolerable and (more importantly) prolific than the irritating 'Uber-' prefix.

No, no, and thrice no. 'Uber' is used by obnoxious men with strange sideburns, turn-ups and pointy shoes in trendy bars. 'Gate' is just used by nerds. I prefer nerds generally.

'Gate' is used by lazy, unthinking, two-bit tabloid hacks to create an impression of outrage.
Mind you - 'uber' was pretty lazy, but then I did query it...

So if I called this saga Übervicentegate, would the thread explode?

Fair point, well made. Whatever their merits or otherwise, I'm getting uber-bored of Vincentegate now.

You should all know by now that if NSC doesn't know what's going on, we'll just make it up.

I know I'm late to this party but as we have taken up the option to extend his contract he cannot talk to other clubs can he?
With his fitness record I am not sure too many clubs will want to pay a significant transfer fee as well as decent wages to sign him.

Correct. The only worry is that if he has been talking to other clubs already, which is possible, he MAY (and I have nothing to back this up) have set his heart on moving there, in which case things could get messy. What I suspect has happened is that an agreement is either close or actually in place already, but not yet physically signed, so we've exercised the option just to stop another club jumping in with a crazy offer at the last minute.

Has Vicente ever cracked a smile ? He comes across as a moody, miserable fucker and I should know. It would be good if he signed but not if his heart is not in it.
