ROK - Re signs with swans for 4 years. (Confirmed)

[CureTheSane]

Sadly, I can see him in a Collingwood jumper

I thought ROK said it wasnt a money factor?

Any way woo why would a player tell you the real story any way

[woo]

so basically I hit the player (s) up re why the swans didn't resign him and they reckon its the clubs fault for not doing this mid season...

honestly I just dont think I was being lied to only because it was as casual as a conversation can get...but nothing is signed yet and I would say by what and how I was told- swans cough up similar moula and he will stay

so LETS PRAY- or donate moula to the club!

Dogs now interested, along with Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Hawthorn. Looks like we'll get a good price if he decides to leave.

Great news that Roos wants a first rounder, let's hope he sticks with that mindset.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I can't see us paying him 600K a year, but I'm sure he's just trying to see how far he can push us. 500K a year is more than enough.

Pushing the boundaries, maybe?

Damn Ryan O'Keefe doesn't have an S in his name so i can substitute it with a $.

[Donners]

They were really laying into O'Keefe on SEN this morning. The general consensus is that he is expecting more than he is worth.

How about Ryan O'K????

How about Ryan O'K????

LOL! Great work Des!

He's starting to remind me of Tommy Gun from Rocky V. Trained by Rocky (Roos) and everythings all kosher then Duke the promoter (his new management team) flung some bull@@@@ in front of him saying he is worth alot more and he abandons ship.

Doubt this will end up in a street fight though.

[Legs Akimbo]

How about Ryan O'K????

Awesome. The boy clearly loves coin. As much as I love ROK, any club willing to part with $600k a year for him is crazy.

O' Keefe will stay with Sydney. I'm confident of that.

This whole thing smacks of management testing the waters to see how much they can get out of the Swans. Talk of ROK 'wanting' to return to Melbourne is media drivel. He'll re-sign with us this week.

[hammo]

The Swans should send him packing if that's what he's asking for. As good as he is, he's not a key forward and not an elite midfielder. The Swans should use the money to pay for Kerr.

As I've said before, I think ROK is shafting the club by the way he's going about this. I previously thought we should offer him the captaincy as a carrot for him to stay but by not being 100% loyal he's proven he's not captaincy or even leadership group material. If he stays, he'll have a lot of work to do to regain the trust of Kirk and co.
