Vicente - classiest Albion player since....or ever?

[boik]

Maybe my memory is playing tricks, but I always thought Frank Worthington looked liked he found the game incredibly easy, which is normally a sign of class. Not world class like Vicente I guess.

 

[Working class pride]

Gotsmanov obviously - I think he makes an all time eleven in the book "inverting the pyramid" and played for a great Russian side. After that, Foster played world cup 82, Lawrenson won everything with the scousers, and never forget Charlie Webb's Charity Shield winners.

Lawrenson is the only other "world class" player I've seen in an Albion shirt - and playing at or close to that level at the time.

Now just imagine where we'd be if he was fit all season...

 

[Working class pride]

Gotsmanov played the European Cup Finals before joining us. Lawrenson was on his way up. Vicente, doing well after coming back after injury. Hopefully we will keep him longer than Gotsmanov, but Gotsmanov wins it for me hands down. Best player seen at Brighton, and with Gazza, I think Gotsmanov was one of the best i have seen anywhere.

Finest cameo performance, ever?

There have been more prolific players, but Vicente is deffo among the most talented. If he was given a regular starting position from now on, we would be close to unstoppable.

And if we had a Championship standard goalkeeper

I think he's more skillful than Gotsmanov - if only, if only he could play every week!

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Pure class, a real joy to watch!

 

[Pinkie Brown]

He's made the vital difference in two games we've gone on to win after he came on. Six points that could give us a shout of making the play-offs.

The debate on his worth is now closed. No matter what he does for the rest of the season, he's scored two goals to put another nail in the skates coffin. For that alone, he is an Albion Legend & worth every penny.

He oozes class but due to his delicate fitness, I guess we have to use him sparingly. Similar to the way Spurs use Ledley King maybe?

And LeTissier...

 

[willyfantastic]

his close control was better than anybody i've seen play at this level

 

[grummitts gloves]

In 36 years of watching the Albion, he is the best I've seen & that's saying something from someone who thought no one would surpass Peter Ward.

Ditto, Ive seen subs turn games before but not with the skill he did today.

 

[Mental Lental]

And LeTissier...

Don't split hairs about cameo performances in testimonial games just to try and make yourself look clever....

Absolutely yes. I thought we were very poor until he came on. Could see after half hour that the game was made for him........brilliant stuff. Ole!
