I'd love Vicente back. We were always told he wasn't ever fit anyway so what would be the harm in bringing him back? He wasn't on huge wages (according to the club and himself) to which I completely believe, as he once said he had many plenty of money in football and just wanted to enjoy playing in a different experience. The guy wants/wanted to come back to us so I think well why not? We're seriously lacking a creative spark at the moment and when we're without and pace out wide he create next to nothing, a la Derby. Vicente is a player where I doesn't really matter how fit or unfit he is, at this level he can just do things that no one else can. He can unlock a defence with a splitting pass, other teams feared him because they knew exactly what he could do. So many times we played games where we dominated possession but just didn't look like scoring and he came on and unlocked the door for us....see Leeds away & Portsmouth at home during the 2011-12 season. Derby at home in the same season was something else too, never have I see a player take apart another team at this level pretty single handed-ly. Even when he was on the bench, personally I just never felt we were 'out' of a game. Ok he had games where it didn't happen for him but for those magic 20minute cameo's he is so worth it. Short term deal till the end of the season, basic salary of £2,000 a week + a substantial appearance fee.

GET HIM BACK!

I totally agree his talent is what's missing in our team. I've spoken to many fans about this and they have all said they wish he was available.

Wouldnt it take to long to get him match fit now? Wouldnt we be better off with a lesser similar player from a Premier club who cant make it for them like we did some years ago when we signed Denis Mortimer for 1 season and his class showed.

would happily take him back... don't care if he didn't play, just to know that there was the possibility of tearing another defence apart

He was just mesmerising to watch.

We would joke about calling out "man on" when he was being closed down. And then we'd realise it was Vicente....... he knew there was a man on, of course!

Wonderful player.

Vicente..... The most gifted player to have ever worn the stripes.

What I would give to have him fit and in our squad.

Good, but still prefer this one



My signature does tend to go OTT slightly, but it seemed right at the time.
If Derby have ever had a new one torn, that game was it.
