I'd be interested in Louw and SOB. EQ requires EQ.

Goode and Hodgson nfs. Everyone else could go for a good enough deal, can negotiate after our match

I'd be wary of lossing to many EQ without EQ back but keen on SOB & Steyn. What you looking at?

Think I could take the EQ hit if we were doing SOB & Steyn for Wood & SBW. Would want a little think on it but would probably deal on that

No EQ players sold without EQ back.

The other four need mental deals and tbh I really can't see anything

hell yh!!!

i really want Israel Dagg!

Make a offer.

Brown + one other...for Dagg?

Mills could go

na i cant lose 2 english players for a scot and a kiwi

i need a english replacement at no8....

yh but CJB has him at worecster, and there's no gurantte i can re-call him this week!

if you re-call skirving then we can get down to doing the deal..

That's fine, especially if I get Waldrom on loan instead

Still interested in Cook fella.

Stooke could possibly go. Anything for attwood/barkley too? Maybe do a multi-player deal?!

Potentially something like Mears for Kennedy might interest me, though I've made a couple of other offers for hookers first so would have to wait and see what comes of them before committing.

Very interested in Attwood, what for him?

Healy / Catt - Mears (EQ) - Franks
Muller - FvdM
SOB / Skuse / Mercer - Louw - Kala

Classens - Barkley (EQ)
Williams (EQ) - Daly (EQ)
Biggs (EQ) - Dagg - Bowe

Bench: Catt (EQ), Tolufua, Tomascyuk (EQ), Hooper (EQ), Lund (EQ), Cook (EQ), Banahan (EQ)

INJ - Steyn, Attwood, Fearns, Hook, Eastmond

i'l accept the salvi offer....£14m for Salvi...you can confirm that if you want...

confirm the salvi one first, and we'l go from there.

CF wrote:confirm the salvi one first, and we'l go from there.

.....

na mate, i would need all the money upfront.

yh ok..£12m for Salvi, go ahead and confirm that mate

Dunn into academy
Taylor and Dixon released
Salvi in

Can i loan Matt Kayte to cover Burguss injury matey?

Yeah no worries , obviously i'm not going to loan you the likes of Etz , Fofana etc but squad players are cool.

You took your time! lol

Sorry mate, no value in that for Exeter.

Not really looking to offload their best players for cash

I don't know what you mean, if I lost him for cash I'd need to waste a foreign to get another scrum half in, makes no sense.

All top players are available for player trades.

Fair offer but the gap between the locks is much larger than the TH's.

I'd need Attwood coming back in that deal really.

You don't think Afoa is a top 10 TH??

I think you'd probably be alone on that opinion.

Afoa is a top Th, he's improved since joining Ulster especially his scrummaging.

Franks is off a bad year, he's sufferend without Thorn. I'm a big fan though but don't see too much between them tbh. Franks shades it though due to youth,

Lets agree to disagree on this one, our ratings are a mile off.

Your academy is currently over the 20 limit

1st warning

Note to self, squad amends to make when on PC

McMillan cancelled, still in squad
Perenara cancelled, not in squad
Vesty released £2.5m
Eldsadt, £19m hopefully
Carraro released £1.5m
Caldwell released £1.5m
Mosses in first team
Academy at 20 limit

Rynhardt Elstadt - 19m confirmed

Can have Kyte back now boss man with me signing Hall.

Cheers!

Cruden, Crane and Myall
for
Hook and Steyn

i want a FB...

so i would be prepared to lose Twelvetrees if i could have Israel Dagg?

i dont really want to lose 36, so if you want him you have to do the running mate

no thanks

Steyn + ???

for

Hook

Steyn + AAC
for

Hook + Dagg

Louw and Fearns, what for them?

What for Barkley?

I rate the combo of Cruden-JDv2 higher than Hook-Steyn

I could do

Cruden, Crane, Burrell and McKenzie
for
Hook and Steyn

Mears released 8m
Predo 1.5m
Budget now 12.5m

What for Attwood and Healy mate?

Croft + £2m for SOB?

£5m final offer.
