Well said. I hope we'd accept £2.5m. Would be good at closing down PL defenders for Reading.

I totally agree with this comment on whether Vicente will stay next year. He loves living in Brighton, I'm sure of that. After all it must compare well to living in Valencia, apart perhaps from the weather. He's said he's happy with his current contract. He surely dosen't need loads more money. If he stays fit he will play every week & that's what he wants at this stage of his career, and of course here he's a big fish in expanding pond. At a Big Premiurship Club I'm sure he would be used a great deal less often. He also has Spanish speaking people around him here. He's proved his loyalty to Valencia staying 11 years. I truly believe he likes it here & he knows the fans Worship him. Don't be surprised if Gus convinces him to stay, but that maybe on the agreement that better technical & quality players arrive at Brighton in the Summer. Let's be positive & wait & see what happens.

I think that Vicente will go wherever Gus goes in the summer. Hopefully that won't be West Ham.

Paolo Di Canios going there especially when they stay down...!
If only i was 12 life would be far easier. I take it you dont agree that someone who has played 243 time for Valencia and 34 times for Spain appears to be completely fit and on a free transfer be of interest to the top prem teams? I guess we will see what happens in the summer.

Vicente looks like the kind of man who, after playing in Spain his whole life, needs to feel comfortable where he's playing in England. From his interviews he's settled in well at Brighton, but still relies on Gus/Calde for translation. I'm not saying he won't go, but it'll need to be the perfect fit for him. I don't think Reading offers that.
ees complicated no?

If he had a chance for a top prem team he would of gone as soon as he left Valencia.

I'd never seen him in the flesh before Tuesday. Just cannot BELIEVE that having recently fielded the likes of Kevin McLeod and Nathan Elder, we now have Vicente. What a stunning player to watch. If he goes, he goes. If he stays, he stays. He has been fantastic for us.
not sure about that with his injury history, he had hardly played any football for a year....

Well he can be in no doubt of the Albion fans love for him. The 'ole Vicente' chant was the loudest one of the night sung by all 3 sides of the Amex.

Listen to me!!!
I doubt whether Gus and his family will be taking Vicente on holiday with them. I am sure Gus needs some privacy instead of being followed everywhere by one of his players.

I am slightly concerned we will lose him in the Summer. But I'm sure we'll pull out all the stops to make sure this doesn't happen. Hopefully a fresh contract is whisking its way to him sooner then we expect, or maybe in May?

Me two, I would love to find those quotes knocking Vicente. Especially from those who see him as indispensable now.

Does anyone get the feeling that the warmer weather has aided his recovery and fitness or is it just a coincidence that he was out for the winter months?

Excellent riposte, delivered with the same degree of mischievous insouciance fully deserving of the remark.

I'd say it's more likely that players take time to get up to full fitness, we didn't rush him back and we have an incredible medical team.

It's changed since I was there for 3 years in the mid 80s then. In those days gujurati or hindi would've been much more necessary

When he hits the crossbar Gus's reaction is the best
That is brilliant, I have been sitting here for about 5 mins cracking up imagining what he is saying "ees no dat facking complicated Bicente, you sic yard out!"
