Do you want Vicente to sign for another year?

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Good God yes. The man's an absolute joy to watch.

 

[chucky1973]

of course yes, why would you not want him here. World Class and also with him being him, it will attract other spanish superstars. Imagine having him fit all year.

 

[Albumen]

25% of you are a little odd.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Best player in the Championship, on a pay as you pay.

Seriously, where has this rumour come from? He's not on a pay-as-you-play contract.

 

[Wozza]

Is the Pope Argentinian?

a pay-as-your-pray deal?

 

[shaolinpunk]

As long as it is not costing us much when he is crocked, absolutely.

Even if we only get 15 games a season out of him, he's the kind of player that will see the defence splitting pass that nobody else does.

If this season was to end in style and we go up, that kind of quality can be the difference between relegation and surviving

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Sadly, it's not as simple as that though.

Say he is on 10k a week. Thats 500k a year roughly.

If there is a free transfer going, firstly you will be competing with others to get him on a good wage. £10k isn't going to get you a superstar at this level under normal circumstances.

So that's only going to cover a years wages before you factor in signing on fee (which can be huge if the other clubs are competing for the player), agent fee (sometimes more than one if there is an agent working for you and one representing the player), potential transfer fee (if needed), set up fee for player relocation, + a committed outlay for, probably, longer than one year.

If only it was like 'Football Manager' eh?

If he signed a new contract we'd still have to pay the signing on fee (loyalty fee) and the agents fee (for all their 'hard work'). The only thing we'd save on is the cost of relocating the player and putting them in temporary accommodation which is negligible.
The other risk with signing a new player is we don't know if they will 'click', for example what if we signed a great player for 10k a week and he only played about 10 games a season? Oh.

Do any of the statto's on here have the stats for Vicente? I'm talking Wins, Draws, Losses, Goals

A) When he makes an appearance
B) When he starts

 

[Kazenga <3]

ffs this is like someone offering you an all expenses paid holiday to a 5 star resort and you turning it down because you only get to go for a weekend and not the full week.

Nobody knows how much he is being paid so why are people getting angry on behalf on Tony Bloom? Being a multi-millionaire I somehow think Tony knows what the boundaries of own his wealth can stretch to a damn sight better than some of the pseudo-accountants on here.

I would be absolutely delighted to watch the great man continue to play for our club and only if the club tell us that he is not worth the money should we give up on him.

 

[TonyW]

Brilliant player who's getting fitter every week.

Next season could easily be a great one for him, and therefore Brighton, especially in the Premiership.
So, yes definitely please.

 

[Pavilionaire]

If the deal was right financially then I'd most definitely want Vicente to stay. The thrill of finding out he's in the starting XI and then seeing him play is what football is all about, and we will be talking about the man long after he has gone.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Signing on for another year is not the same as playing for another year.

Pay as you play? Yes. Normal contract? No

 

[brightonmark1234]

yes for me but only if he stays fit

[W.C.]

It depresses me sometimes how other football fans just can't revel in the joys of the sport and how some players can make you go 'wow'. It's not called the beautiful game for nothing.

 

[countryman]

He is our best player. Of course I want him to stay.

WOW Vicente's injured again.

Or not that statement doesn't need any kind of wow, just a shrug in acknowledgement as its the norm.

 

[Box of Frogs]

BIG YES.

BHA v Leicester City - Score Predictor

Hopefully his performance will be better than Tuesday night

Your thread self promotion in every post is getting a bit tiresome.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I would love him to stay, but of course only if he and his family are comfortable and happy. He's dazzled me beyond belief and as long as he feels settled and a future with us brings a little smile to his face, then bloody brilliant, sign him for as long as possible.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Happy? Yeah, go on then, let's keep the WORLD CLASS footballing FLAIRISTA we somehow managed to sign and then retain.

But only if Spanish Dave wants to keep him.
