Gus should never had said we had a 19/20 chance of signing him.

Guess thats probably going to be the size of it, could do with a few new signing announcements to dull the pain!

is Owen still available?

Don't think any fan will disagree with you, fans on here have said the whole Vicente extension announcement has been a PR disaster, it has. Poyet is a top coach with modern ideas but he can't keep his gob shut.

The very special signing, 90-95% done etc, there have been many un-neccesary false dawns with players only because of Poyets words. Ignorance and suprises really are bliss

Wow, just clicked on this thread for the first time in a few days. He's going?? Can someone sum up whats happened? I knew the baby factor would signal the end

The thing is fella, nobody knows and nothing is confirmed if he is actually leaving us. Just a few snippets here and the odd tweet there but no actual hard facts. His agent was over here talking to our people today, and Elche seem to be showing an interest, these are the only known facts. The other stuff has just been discussed and made "fact" on this board.
Basically NO ONE KNOWS

Elche paper/blog 2 hours old

Vicente Rodriguez knows the interest of Elche to be done with their services after was one of his coaches in his previous spell at Valencia CF Escribá Fran. The footballer Benicalap is welcomed to join the ranks of all franjiverde for next season, however, must detract year contract in the First Division Brigthon English is the main impediment to Elche for ex internacional .

To our latest knowledge, Vincent has spoken to his club and has shown his intention to return to Spain, arguing that it has recently become a father and wants to be near family. The Spaniard could even pay part of his buyout clause to break the contract that is linked to the English team.

Elche would offer two-year contract and an annual tab is somewhere between 300,000 and 400,000 euros. To which the player would agree to it.

Let's wait a few days to see how events unfold, but Elche not willing to pay its clause from England, so that "good work" of the player with his current club to secure is essential for this transfer to a successful conclusion.

Agreed, Poyet does say some stupid things at times

I don't think it is unreasonable that he wants to move back to Spain and I doubt it's about money as Elche are a small club and only get gates of around 8,000. However, if he did have intentions of returning to Spain, he was foolish in signing the contract he did last year and we have every right to invoke the 2nd year.

That does sound pretty final, if accurate. He must be really keen if he's willing to buy himself out. Wonder how Bruno is feeling about all this. Could be nicely set up for Bruno to knuckle down and become an absolute legend in the face of, if not adversity, then certainly some disappoitment.

His other half wouldn't have been pregnant when he signed for us, she would have fallen pregnant not long afterwards but it wouldn't have been a factor to consider when he signed the original deal.

"F*ck it, I'll get you a babysitter, stop nagging, I'll be back in a year"!!

Unless we get promoted of course...!

 

[Aspinal's Body Double]

we have every right to invoke the 2nd year.

And that's why we should have done it from the very beginning. Vicente would have known he was tied in for another year, and Elche and Villareal would not been allowed to approach him.

As someone said at the time, "why negotiate an option and then not use it?"

Basically NOONE KNOWS

Does he? My vote is that we pin the scouser down and beat it out of him.

 

[Chris001]

This is hardly the end of the world, the situation we find ourselves in now is better than if he'd happily stayed but couldn't play because of injury niggles. A likely scenario we aren't unfamiliar with.
If he wants out then thanks but f***ing do one! The club want something for getting him to a level where he's actually an asset and rightly so.
Sort it out quick and move on, free up the money and use it to target someone else, we'll be OK with or without Vicente.

I can just imagine the text next april:

Bruno: We are doing amazing, we are pretty much sure of automatic promotion and who would of thought the semi's in the FA cup! Oh and i might be player of the season.
Vicente: Oh...i am playing in front of 4000 people and a bottle of Rioja. Ask Gus if i can come back...
Bruno: Gus says your a two timing, double faced, lying bastard and you can go **** yourself.
Vicente: Oh...

A good assessment of the situation.

Well I doubt he came here thinking "this is going to be rubbish, I'll go back to Valencia in a year". Whether it's because he didn't enjoy it, his wife, family, changing circumstances with another kid, who knows. But he didn't have to leave Spain in the first place.

It does seem most likely that it is down to family/personal reasons, everything coming out of Spain is saying that and according to that last report Elche are going to be paying him about £6k a week so it's hardly for the money.

That does make the whole situation with the 95% comments seem very strange.
