Vicente - one year contract extension exercised by the Albion

[Wozza]

No doubt.

Yeah, no doubt about this at all...

i reads to me like this.... "we are scared he might not come to us, he has not been in contact, the contract has ran out, so we are making noises."

if he had signed it would have been balloons on the site and gus smiling like a chesire cat and praising him.

he has not signed yet, no way, not after reading that.....but it is still 75% on i think.

That's a relief.

He doesn't need to sign FFS he's already a Brighton and Hove Albion player and has been since he signed last year.

he's under contract with us until the end of next season......if he wants to leave now it has to be with our blessing

The 1 year option has been activated , maybe he is after another 1 year option when this one finishes ?

I think it's going to take many, many years before Albion fans are no longer pessimists. All those years of hurt and disappointment has messed with our brains.

If it was up to me, I'd give him 3!

i dont know why the 'doom and gloom' bunch are getting so worked up about this. they all probably think 12/12/2012 is doomsday anyway!

my birthday!

Bruno wouldn't have come out with what he said in the press conference if Vicente hadn't told him at least that he was staying. I suspect that the club has protected their asset and also that Vicente has probably agreed to the extension.............as it also protects him.

I also suspect that the club have given Vicente some leave extension with the new baby, but he will probably report for pre season training next week and sign a new contract and the club can then wheel him out in person and make more publicity out of it.

Maybe that is why Gus is still trying to iron out a few discrepancies...maybe Gus wants a two year extension and The Messiah wants three.

It is so obvious that if he had said I am definitely playing for the Albion this season it would have been all over the website and Argus too, it is just the club covering themselves and nobody knows for sure what is happening

I like your optimism

Why not just think that Gus has done the decent thing and sorted everything out? As I posted before, I never saw the need for any fuss as we had the Option, which we could exercise. He is now in exactly the same position all all over our other contracted players.

Any of them can go, but under our terms.

With his mates Bruno and Calderon here, and a new child, I suspect he will be happy with some stability for at least this season, if not, and he wants to move on, we get something back for our investment in him last year (for which we have had little return so far).

Great post. This is so true.

Maybe the club got downind of a rival offer emerging and simply got pissed off. The language used is very odd indeed ... shirley it would start "we're thrilled that ..........." defo a story of some sort here and not to do with being in Spain either. Gus categorically said he wouldn't hold him to option, now he has

Hopefully his old "injury" issues don't return

You have missed something here...'If vicente doesn't want to play for Brighton'.

my birthday!

And mine! Is the world going to end then?? Better ask for my presesnts early this year.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

best case scenario: we get to watch a great player for another season

worst case scenario: we sell him and get a load of cash


OH THE HORROR

Yes, I can see this could be true. Can't sign before Sunday, so club enforce option just in case.
