That's the one thing about this trade that concerns me. Considering the compensation being considered for Duckett the only way this makes any sense is we're reasonably certain we can sign Duckett to an extension now before the FA period begins. No way would this make sense if it's only for him to be here for one season and goes on the market possibly commanding much more than we're going to be willing to pay. This is going to be interesting, and I'm curious to see how it pan's out.
