I thought I had replied to this. Would need to limit it to 2 players, so poss:

Treviranus + Garvey

for

Johnson + Mitchell

enq.

any chance of chucking in Sisi, Low, Yarde or Watson?

???

Ansbro, Hape or Armitage?

I can change Birkett to someone better?
who else are you interested in.

No interest in geraghty, noon or spratt really.

ok, il think on that.
on a separate note or could be included, what for bryn evans?

Treviranus + Garvey + Yarde

for

Johnson + Mitchell + Short

???

The only way Garvey is substitutable in that deal for me is if it is Gibson that comes in, which I'm guessing you are unlikely to want to do.

OK im happy to deal on

Simpson and Mafi
for
Garvey and JJ

Jamie Gibson + Marland Yarde

for

Tom Johnson + Craig Mitchell

Cole nfs mate sorry

Seen my pm mate?

If you are looking to release players, you have 4 scrummies and 4 out halves which is probably way more than you need, you could probably release one of each. Samson is probably the 9 to offload, and the 10 is a difficult choice between Jarvis and Geraghty as Jarvis is steady but unspectacular while Geraghty is out of sight out of mind.

Blaney is rubish and I have no idea who Juan Cruz Jordan is??? Thorpe and Roche are not great either.

If you choose to offload Geraghty let me know as I would take a small punt on him and give you a little more than the £2.5 million you would get on releases. Am also prepared to pay cash for Marland Yarde, although wouldn't break the bank for him.

What for Corbs buddy? Still interested in Hudson?

i dont think juan cruz jordan is real
he is on wikipedia but no-one has ever heard of him!

Lol....that's just a nasty offer! You know I like cash!

Throw in Danaher and it's a deal

No probs

Could you throw in Gray? Just leaves me really short in the backrow

Had a think....

I'll deal on original offer, stick on confirms if happy

what prices for

gray
treviranus
thompstone

Prices for Gray and Treviranus please.

I'll do you £13.5 million for the pair of them?

I thought you'd snap my hand off, was a huge gamble for me. You've prob done me a favour really as Id have struggled in the backrow if I'd have dealt.

I'd go £5 million for him. He's not first choice in real life at Irish so is a gamble.

Also not first choice so would only go £6.5m

What for Hape and Gray?

Can include Flutey?

Because as a pair I get some strength in depth which I don't get with signing just the one of them.

Will go to £7m for Treviranus or £5.5m for Gray, but no higher than that.

sorry mate I rate Salvi a fair bit over Gray.

I've tried to meet you in the middle mate, guess we'll leave it.

Not worth holding out over £0.5 million eh. You might be right.

Go on then £7.5 million for Treviranus.

We all want to swing every deal as much our own way as possible I guess, and with a playing squad without big names and a need to use cash in the foreigns have to try to get the prices down as far as possible.

Pleasure doing business with you.

You interested in any of Budgen, Andress, Mitchell or Tui at tighthead mate?

Fluxy wrote:What for Corbs buddy? Still interested in Hudson?

Any interest still?

What for Ojo mate?

enq.

flutey, varndell, davis
hape, ojo, shingler

Alright mate, am the new Sale manager

Interested in

Ojo
Gibson
Corbs
Buckland
Homer
Gray

and loads more as well!! - Yes, yet another London irish fan

Just a very loose enquiry

Cueto, Fourie, Taylor and Buckley
for
Ojo, Gibson, Buckland and Ion

All player are avaliable for the right price i think with some players prices being hefty!. PS. - Sorry in advance for the volume of offers you'll get from me!!

Just seen on another page you're not keen on letting Gibson go. If thats still the case

Cueto, Mathie, Taylor and Buckley and 4 mill
for
Ojo, (Your third choice SH up to you), Buckland and Ion

What for Sisi mate?

What for Alex Gray??

After a gruelling first AP game your squad has picked up the following injuries:

Week highlighted is the week they become available.

Week 7 - Nick Kennedy
Week 8 - Paul Hodgson
Week 9 - Daniel Bowden
Week 10 - Tom Homer
Week 11 - Sailosi Tagicakibau

what for yarde and shingler mate?

Ansbro?

What for Ansbro?

Don't have cash - deal involving George or Kruis?

Is that a serious offer?

Mate, if you think that Ansbro, who I would lose for large chunks of the season is worth losing a Samoan international and £14 million for then we are going to struggle as we are a million miles apart in our valuations.

Am very interested in Losi.

Am willing to include Cueto? Let me know if you can come up with an offer or not

pullthestrings wrote:Hi mate, I do rate Losi > Cueto, so would need something coming my way.

Peel/Wilko/Davit available?

I agree Losi is better than Cueto, but Cueto is EQ and avaliable during internationals, so Losi is by no means worth loads and loads more. To get any of Peel, Wilko or Davit involved it would have to involve a deal in which your i gained largely in other area.

If you wanted one of them involved maybe

Cueto, Wilko, H.Fourie and Buckley
for
Losi, Bowden, and 4 players academy players of my choice (not including Gibson)

The 4 academy players is instead of me getting a rejection straight away asking for your better players

pullthestrings wrote:Could potentially do:

Cueto, Wilko, H.Fourie and Buckley

Losi, Bowden, and 3 from the following:

Kieren Low (LK) [ENG]
Ben Pritchard (FL) [ENG]
Ed Shiggery (FL) [WAL]
David Sisi (N8) [ENG]
Freddie Clarke (N8) [ENG]
Jack Moates (SH) [ENG]
Anthony Watson (WG) [ENG]

The thing is that takes away your best academy talent, which makes it an even bigger risk, as non of the above have made it in any sort of way. So ideally i'd like Gray coming my way and then 2 more academy players.


Cueto, Wilko, H.Fourie, Mathie and Buckley
for
Losi, Bowden, Gray, Allinson and 2 academy players (Sisi and Watson)
