How often do you reckon Battle plays on centre half forwards?Premiership clubs don't throw away good CHBs for the lure of picks.
They back their recruiters to find the players with the picks they have and retain the essential parts of their list.
You can't easily replace players like battle. All you'll end up doing is trading a first round pick to get one again in 3 years time or you go without.
We are being seduced by a pick. Like its the magic tonic that will net an elite mid and turn everything around.
I would like Battle to stay but if a club offered us pick 5 for him in a trade there's nobody on earth that wouldn't take it.
