Yep. And what people seem to forget is that if Vicente was going to be able to play 40 games a season then he wouldn't be playing for us anyway.

EXACTLY!
It's spells like this that we actually NEED, or the moment he plays half a dozen games and lights the place up, teams would be swooping straight in for him. It's because of this we've got him, and it's thanks to this that we avoid losing him.

For me, this was the fear in the summer. I was surprised and delighted when it was (eventually) announced that he was staying for this season, and was cautiously optimistic when he returned to complete most of the pre-season training and appeared in the friendlies and at Swindon (abeit in a daft role up front). But this now seems to be playing out according to the concerns. He appears in a couple of games, then gets a mysterious injury, and is not seen again for months on end. Out of the squad for Hull, a reluctant 15 minute cameo v Cardiff, and that, once again, is that.
Yes its a tremendous bonus when he's fit, and no we don't rely on him. But I am starting to wonder if this is really all worth it, especially when you consider our results when he's been on the pitch. If his wage is taking up a serious chunk of the playing budget, then I think I'd like to see us call it quits, let him cop off back to Spain, and put that money towards a contract for another quality forward in January, rather than keep living in hope of seeing him for 10 games if we're lucky.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Vicente signed for Elche in January for an undisclosed (nominal) fee. Both the player and the club will spin it as a win-win situation.

We've already had the win-win situation of Bruno signing for us. Would he have signed if Vicente hadn't already been here?

The man,when fit is a class act,of that I feel there is no dispute.I will also take at face value ,at the moment he is not fit.........the rest is just rumour and conjecture ,which is in itself is quite compelling. I just wish the club would give just a little more to us about him......or perhaps its none of our business,as fans.

Yes, this is now the second season of his pathetic "injury" bollox. The guy is pathetic - it is a good job that he does not play rugby! lol

There's an information gap. The injury that put him out in August should have cleared up a long time ago, and if it hasn't the medical staff need to make a new statement as to why not.

I'm going to play pub golf and down some drink each time one surfaces. Looking forward to getting VERY drunk :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

Quite. Can't believe what poor memories people have.

Its not a case of having a poor memory. What I saw of him last season was superbly entertaining (although resultwise not overly productive). Would I want to have to wait till around next March again before he makes another appearance ? If it was a choice between that, or releasing his wages back into the pot and bringing in a quality forward in January instead, I know what I'd pick.

I'd pick both myself, and if we are still in the mix by January, I'm sure it will happen :beer:

Happy to wait for Vicente to regain match fitness if he gets it together just enough to turn in match-changing performances like he did last season.
Exactly this.
