Swans have made no offer to Fevola: Roos
Swans have made no offer to Fevola: Roos

Sydney coach Paul Roos has categorically denied that anyone at his club has spoken with Carlton forward Brendan Fevola about moving to Sydney on a four year contract worth $3 million. The Nine Network's Melbourne Footy Show last night reported that the Swans were looking to offer Fevola the $750,000 a season deal, and Fevola who was a panelist on the show initially denied he had spoken with Sydney, before stating: "I'm not going to talk about my contract, I'm sick of talking about my contract, Carlton's sick of talking about my contract." But Roos was quick to say this morning that the club had not had talks with Fevola and they expect he will re - sign with the Blues. "I haven't spoken to Brendan, nobody from the club ... Andrew Ireland (Sydney's football general manager) hasn't spoken to Brendan," Roos said. "I don't know where these things come from. We haven't made Brendan an offer and we would expect him to sign with Carlton in the not too distant future. Why it comes up and where it comes from, we are a bit dumbfounded. "At the moment we're like all clubs expecting him to sign with Carlton and we expect that to happen shortly. "We absolutely haven't made him a four-year off, we haven't made any offer what so ever. It's ridiculous, $3 million over four years, I don't know where that comes from. "Our expectations are that he will sign with Carlton, and if that was to change, then we would sit down and talk as a footy club as to whether we believe that Brendan would fit into the club, but until that happens, it's sort of almost pointless discussing whether he would come, and whether you'd want him to come. "It's very difficult to poach a player of that nature from a club by financial offer or "come and look at the Harbour Bridge it's beautiful" or whatever. A type of player like Brendan has to decided does he want to stay at Carlton or does he want to leave. Now if he said he wanted to leave then I'm sure there would be a number of clubs that would entertain having him. "But at this stage, it's ridiculous to suggest we have made him an offer. We haven't."

We're all fools for utegate
01 Jul 09 |
The ridiculous ironies and double standards of both politicians and the media were on show for all to see with the ‘utegate’ scandal, online editor Michael Thomson writes, but he says no-one is the better for it.
Irrigators are people, too
Time to get over single desk decision
