I know Batch, I'm just stating the obvious that him signing doesn't mean he'll still be here in August (before we all get too excited).
It is more likely though, as the fee would need to be higher with him contracted for two seasons.
It also means that if he has another good season he will still be contracted for another year.
I think most of us believe that he is headed for a higher division than ours, the longer we can keep him the better, but when the time comes that he leaves I would prefer that we get a fee for him.
