Given what away? That he's going to buy better players?
Given away that perhaps Vicente has stated that he will happily stay if Gus brings in the right players.

May be the club should involve him in which players should be targeted.
How much will we have to drink to get Raul as well from Schalke?
Gus Poyet today on Vicente - "It might not be very difficult to keep him if we get the team that he deserves, with players who understand the game like he does, and help him play.
"If we can't do that the situation will change, but we will decide it with Vicente. We need to make sure it is fair for everyone."
He is clearly keen to keep him. Even talking about building teams around him.
Vicente arrived at Brighton under whatever circumstances and I will not expand upon those.
Irrespective of anything else he appears to have achieved full match fitness and some posts have suggested that fewer matches have been won when he was involved.
With respect and the deserved ridicule in some cases, he is a player who comes on to the pitch looking for the ball (an absolutely admirable trait, perhaps look at others) and indeed other players seek him out to pass the ball to him because they know that he is likely to progress the development of play.
Vicente, if not certainly the one, is one of, the most accomplished footballers ever to have played for the Albion and I, for one, feel absolutely privileged to have seen him don the stripes.
Any suggestion that his involvement in matches has had a negative effect is completely and utterly ridiculous.
If he should deem it appropriate to remain at the Amex for a further season or indeed for however long a period of time, then I for one would be absolutely delighted.
Those comments from Gus sound, to me, like a veiled threat that TB needs to let him spend big this close season.
Dont forget that if Vicente stays, the rest of the squad will be able to learn huge amounts from him, learn more about how he plays and most importantly how to play with him during pre-season.
We create so many chances but fail to convert so the issue to me is up front that needs to be resolved
I suggest we need to address that just as much as trying to hold onto Vicente.
