Saints close to securing Kosi

JUSTIN Koschitzke could sign a long-term deal to remain at St Kilda as early as next week.
Although Koschitzke's manager Liam Pickering last night refused to put a time frame on an agreement, discussions are progressing well.
With Nick Riewoldt and Nick Dal Santo locked away, Koschitzke is the No. 1 priority for the Saints.
Out of contract this season, Koschitzke has enormous currency in the market given his flexibility as a ruck and key-position option.
But Pickering has eased the fears of St Kilda fans, declaring Koschitzke has not considered a move.
"All I'm talking to at the moment is St Kilda," Pickering said.
"There's no dramas from my end. We're down the track and everything seems to be progressing well.
"I don't expect there to be too many issues.
"I haven't spoken to other clubs about him."
Negotiations have been taking place for the past two to three weeks.
"St Kilda put an offer through and we're working through it at the moment," Pickering said.

Of course it's true mischa. How many quality players actually change clubs?mischa wrote:Finally some good newsIf it's true that is.
It's rare because the system doesn't facilitate easy transfers and look at the angst thrown at players that do. Nick Stevens would be example enough to turn players off doing it.
You really would have to do a lot wrong to lose a player these days.
What really makes me laugh are the Privy Council that claim "he'll sign" as though they have some sort of inside knowledge. What's even more pathetic are the people that buy into it.
