I get the emotional arguments for him to accept less, but in theory he would have grounds for a 4-5 year contract at $600K+. I suspect the Swans would like to pay him a lot less than that.

The list management team will earn their keep over the next few years.
I don't think the club would balk at 600K. Positive they see the value in him. He is absolutely a pillar of the side.
