Apologies if already posted, can't see it anywhere myself.
Doesn't sound like someone who is not here next year to me.......

Roberto Mancini has already set his sights on creating a super Blues team that can win the Premier League title next season.
City's manager is still scheming to steer his current side into fourth place to snap up the Champions League spot that should encourage more big names to sign up.
But as he prepares for the tough trip to Arsenal, Mancini has given a clear indication of both his and the club's ambition for what will be his first full season in charge.
The Blues boss said: "All the top players want to play in the Champions League, this is normal. If you want to build a team that next year plays to win the Premier League, we must get top players.
"In Europe there are a lot of top players. I don't know if they would come here because we were playing in the Champions League."
But in an early warning to the current squad, he added: "Next year we want to play to win the Premier League. For this to happen, we must improve this team."
Mancini confirmed that he will talk with Garry Cook and Brian Marwood before City step into the market - and wants incoming transfers sorted before the World Cup kicks off on June 11.
He said: "It would be better, because during the World Cup it is difficult to speak to the players and to buy any players.
"So for us to prepare very well for next season it is important, if possible, to sign the players before the World Cup."
Mancini expects Emmanuel Adebayor and Shay Given to shrug off niggles to face Arsenal, while Micah Richards will be assessed after training tomorrow.
