I think Pires is versatile, he's capable of playing RM as well as LM. Don't forget, David Bentley will be back next season too, and I personally think he's a better player than Pennant was, and if you remember, he was used on the right hand side when he played last year.
Next season, we'll have Clichy and Reyes who play on the left, Bentley who plays on the right, and Freddie and Robbie who can play either. Now, if you ask me, Pires is becoming too inconsistent to play regularly by 2005, and Reyes might well be called upon to play as a striker a lot more, as Bergie is phased out (it's his preferred position anyway). That leaves only Clichy dedicated to playing on the left hand side, and you have to bear in mind that he is ALSO cover for Ashley (who may be at Chelsea by then anyway).
I definitely think there'll be room in our squad for Vicente next season.
