Tanno, Vicente and CMS due at press conference today

[Gazwag]

I'm confused at why they can't report what Vicente said until Saturday. If there was any news revealed, surely it would make no difference if it was released today or Saturday?

Because it will take that long for the Argus to translate it

 

[sharpey38]

Not sure Middlesbrough will be in the mix, pretty sure that the parachute payments stop for them now, also they don't have the biggest following

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

It may just be that he's already finnished for the season, and is through passport control as we speak. No point in letting Birmingham know he's not playing.

Or perphaps.......... He is staying and will be announced at the Amex over the loud speakers as the players trot out, or am I living in dreamworld again.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Totally agree. QPR will rip this league a new one if they come down. Cash to burn and already loaded with good premiership players, plus a manager who has done pretty well his entire career. I think we are going to struggle to do anywhere near as well next season without some big players coming in.

This.

I said on another thread we may rue the fact that Gus decided tinker as much as he did when we were fourth or fifth with only seven or so games to go...

If we are arseing around mid table this time next year (like Palace are) you cant help a "what if"

Or perphaps.......... He is staying and will be announced at the Amex over the loud speakers as the players trot out, or am I living in dreamworld again.

I think this could actually happen, possibly before the game and they want it to be a surprise....or after the game depending on how well they think they will do - could soften the blow of losing a bit.

An announcement at the Brum game that he's signed for another season?

Just a suggestion...

Not after as we could lose heavily and people maybe pissed off leave early or even god forbid booooo.....

Then it would serve those leaving early right to miss the big news....never know he could buy us all a pint.

That's what I think too.

 

[JOLovegrove]

Also,

Forest, Ipswich, Leeds and Leicester have spectacularly underacheived this year and could well be challenging next season.

Exactly, tough season. That is why Tony needs to splash some cash in the summer!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Brian put the hard work in. Maybe best you grab an Argus on Saturday.

Went to school with Brian, my dad took him to the Albion for the first time, perhaps I should contact him for the info......but not in Spanish though as I did do that as a subject!

 

[keaton]

I know transfer fees are not the only cost, but according to Sky News last night, Reading only spent £1.74M - far less than us.

I've seen two papers mention Jason Roberts cost them £3m

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Dunno why but I very much doubt a Vicente is staying message will happen at the Amex Saturday.

 

[Shanker45]

Dunno why but I very much doubt a Vicente is staying message will happen at the Amex Saturday.

I am with you on this. I would love it if this was announced but I suspect we will have to wait well into the Summer to find out where Vicente will be playing next season.

 

[1swedegull]

im very surprised that vicentes first english phrase was not eeees complicated , would make press conferences more normal lol

 

[Mr Blobby]

I've seen two papers mention Jason Roberts cost them £3m

Nobody knows what Reading spent as all undisclosed fees. From Sky SPorts website this is the in and outs at Reading this season

[pornomagboy]

if vicente signed a new contract soon then that would increase season ticket sales next year, along with another few names.

 

[StonehamPark]

He will stay

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

So what did Vicente say for gawds sake!

We all agreed that the quotes would be embargoed until Saturday, and without breaking that embargo, I'd say that Albion fans will enjoy Brian Owen's Argus interview.

When I spoke to theboyVicente back in September, when he was hardly playing because of injury, his body language was terrible and he came across as a miserable so-and-so. It was completely different today, he looked relaxed and even smiled a couple of times.

Which doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of whether he wants to stay or go, but I thought you'd like to know ...
