Nothing has been signed but we have reached a verbal agreement and I'd be more than happy to stay.

England and London Wasps prop Phil Vickery has revealed that he is on the verge of extending his contract with the Guinness Premiership champions until 2011.
Vickery is one of a number of players, including England team-mates Tom Rees, Danny Cipriani and James Haskell whose contracts at Adams Park are up for renewal.
However, the 32-year-old has revealed that he is on the verge of becoming the first of the trio player to commit his future to Wasps by signing a new two-year deal.
"I have been made a very fair offer which I am perfectly satisfied with," said Vickery.
"Nothing has been signed but we have reached a verbal agreement and I'd be more than happy to stay.
"I don't know about other players' business but I sincerely hope the others who are out of contract sign as well.
"You have to be happy with what you're offered and I hope they get it sorted out. I have nothing but good to say about Wasps."
