How will the pricing for the u21 players work. Ie will it work on a similar framework to the current foreigns?

OK sounds good. And can I still use the foreign I have left over?

Sorry mate, I don't need Newby- he's not worth Burger- 2m, he's not EQ and I'm splashing out specifically on my replacement backrower(s) anyway

Don't rate Stankovich, really gone downhill recently.

Lahiff for cash?

==

How much you looking at?

Be looking at £12 mil for Lahiff.

How do you renew the box fella every year?

Sweet I'm threading the wire through into my room this afternoon and the money should be in the bank next week. My old man said if its good he might get one for the front room.

It's spot on mate, can't really fault them for cash.

The one I've just got is mint but complete pain to set up

Need 12 mate, otherwise I'll hold onto him. Likely to play a lot more next year.

Corbs
=
Cole

?

Booooo

Anything for Wade or Lowe?

Can't lose him sorry, more important to me than improvements out wide

Bowden + Simpson + Kaino
=
Croft + Barnes + Youngs

Just seeing what you think, plenty of scope for tweaking.

I thought as much! I'm pretty sure Kaino is better than Croft..

Aight. Any scope for a deal? Mainly interested in teaming up Cooper/Barnes.

Don't suppose there is anything I can do for Ford?

Quality, thought as much

Be interested in George Ford mate. What kinda deal you looking at?

Who you looking to lose mate?
Launchbury & 36 interest me as well

I'll take Carling lol

I'll have the cash back from the bid

Far too low mate. Was thinking £10 mil each but could lower to £16 mil for the pair.

Gonna need to look at them individually then, £8 mil for Yarde, £10 mil for Lahiff.

No worries then. If I were to raise the cash, I am able to make another foreign bid aren't I?

Needs to be £8m

Fasa for Wade?

Didn't think so. How about Launchbury plus 2 mil?

Fair enough

How about for cash? 8 mil

That's not much more than I would get if I released him! 7

Manu - £25 mil?

£8?

You can owe me £2m and just give me the 6 now?

Morning mate. Quick question for you...Tom Catterick? Any good? Is he worth keeping? Think I'd have Rob Cook and Ross Chisholm ahead of him for FB at the moment and he'd be 4th choice FH

you sneaky b ugger! what for fasa??

il take the sponsorship with the money upfront mate.

no!

To lose Sheridan i need Ayerza coming my way. None of my other looseheads are ready to start week in week out and Sheridan is an EQ starter for me. But to be honest all my players are availiable for the right deal so.

Maybe something along the lines of

Sheridan and ??
for
Ayerza and 36

I agree that Ayerza is better than Sheridan but Sheridan is an EQ starter for me so I can't afford to lose him too cheaply, and as i don't rate Stankovich it could be difficult, but i suppose i can get a loosehead in foreigns as there are plenty about.

I am interested in 36, Deacon, Slater and Croft. If you can see any potential deals? All of my squad is availiable, so see if you can come up with anything?

Not sure what to offer; cash or players? Got a few young uns available

I was thinking more Welch, Hodgson lol. Etz definitely unavailable just bought him. Could be willing to lose Corbs and Gibson, but would need something to replace them.

Got no interest in Stanks and or Newby. Would be interested in Cole

Aii just need to decide where to play AAC

Might be a long shot, hope you appreciate the thought on this offer!

Corbs + Wilson + Swinson + Bendy
=
Stank + Cole + Deacon + Murphy

Not much difference maybe but was thinking it helps toward your EQ contingent.

Depends who your including with no WC replacement....best HK in the world.

Nah not what I need

BdP + Lightfoot-Brown
for
T.Youngs + Care + Ford

Maybe?

What for Launchbury or possibly Slater? Don't ask for Parra

BdP >> Care
Youngs => LB

I need something like Ford included

Between Flood/Barnes/Cips/36/JOC well covered at 10?
