Good article on Mclean wanting to stay in Sydney

Swans should put something in front of him and see if he sits on it all year like Amartey has

John Ralph speculated last night pre game v Brisbane on Fox Footy, that we had only tabled $600k for Armatey. He is keen on stsying and hasn't entertained other offers as yet according to Ralph.

He added that Chris Keane is scheduled to meet up with Armatey's management soon and expects a deal to be finalised, upwards of the original $600k offer. Armatey's performance last night would have not helped his cause!

So there have been 2 seperate media speculations on Armatey's contract negotations in the space of 24hrs. One suggesting $800k will cut it, the other maybe not that high. Common ground is Armatey wants to stay.

Its at the point where id take Mclean over him as a pure fwd and Mclean probably doesn't need that kind of money.

Looking fwd we have Max King and Green we can try at that end of the ground too

On Agenda Setters last night, Mitch Cleary speculated with Armatey possibly receiving $1m offers that he would accept $800k to remain a Swan.

I would've said $800k is too much for Armatey but with the rapidy rising player salaries, not sure what is reasonable $$$$ for mid tier players now?

Have to manage our cap carefully over next couple of years, with big stars coming out of contract and Tassie looming.

Couldn't imagine a more sheepish phone call than the one between Amartey and his Agent atm

There is no way any of those figures could be justified and I couldnt imagine any team that would be relying on him to become their number one option

Coming out of our bye and still no update on Armartey's contract talks. Last i heard we had a 4 and a 5 year deal put out in front of him.
