Don't really think that deal improves me that much mate

by 'Arry Spurs Wed Mar 14, 2012 6:38 pm

Brussow interests me...

by stnick88 Wed Mar 14, 2012 7:35 pm

do him for ansbro

by stnick88 Wed Mar 14, 2012 11:15 pm

I like both but for tuilagi to go I would need ansbro in return. So don't necessarily need shingler as well

by stnick88 Thu Mar 15, 2012 8:42 am

sorry mate brown not for sale

dont really want to let varndell and tuilagi go, just one of them

by stnick88 Thu Mar 15, 2012 10:54 am

yeh id deal on that

by Sgt_Pooly Thu Mar 15, 2012 11:17 am

What for Heathcote?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu Mar 15, 2012 11:25 am

I could do Staughton + ?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu Mar 15, 2012 11:32 am

I could obviously add on Staunton but if you're not a fan we're unlikely to go anywhere

by pullthestrings Thu Mar 15, 2012 11:35 am

Murray + Swinson
=
Corbs + Mafi

==

Closer than the other enquiries but still not quite.

Corbs = Murray
Mafi > Swinson

by pullthestrings Thu Mar 15, 2012 11:50 am

I don't see that.. Corbs is likely to be the LH for England for quite a while. I think, in the long run, Murrays refusal to play on Sunday's will count against him.

by Driver Sun Mar 18, 2012 7:46 pm

I'm after cash more than anything fella and the gap between Heathcote and Evans is of ridiculous perportion. I'm also not interested in Shawsy in the slightest of ways.

Murray + cash

for

Johnstone + Southwell

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Mar 20, 2012 2:54 pm

No mate

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:19 pm

Can loan you Care for season for 5m or Care + Twelvetrees for 8m Very Happy

You can pay me end of the season or in installments if you wanted....

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:28 pm

When we get end of season bonus cash?

There's around 24m to be made in predo cash alone without end of season cash or player releases.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:56 pm

Yea no probs fella

by Driver Tue Mar 20, 2012 10:09 pm

You doing this weeks thread fella?

by Bathite Wed Mar 21, 2012 4:16 pm

You've got mail!

by pullthestrings Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:07 pm

Murray + Swinson + Guest
=
Corbs + Mafi + Danaher

==

Not really interested mate. People have commented this week that Mafi/Kennedy is a decent engine room combo and I rate Corbs higher than Murray after the 6N.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Fri Mar 23, 2012 11:22 pm

Sorry mate sorted at BS with Ferris. No need for 2 world class 6s so would prefer to hold onto Read

by Bathite Tue Mar 27, 2012 3:22 pm

FOR SARACENS

Trying to see a deal for Sean O'Brien. Got £17m to spend and some players as well.

by Bathite Tue Mar 27, 2012 8:18 pm

Anyone in foreigns you want, i'll sign them and swap for O'Brien?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Mar 27, 2012 9:13 pm

Ill have final say in Sarries deals mate thumbsup

by Fluxy Tue Mar 27, 2012 9:24 pm

That's alright mate, just placating offers. Can't let them go behind until someone takes over.

Are my releases okay?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Mar 27, 2012 9:37 pm

Ok mate, can't update budget as in pub on phone

by CJB Tue Mar 27, 2012 10:34 pm

Just seen it
Murray + Poff + Shiells + May
=
Mullan + Fasa + Taumoepeau + Allen

Mullan =< Murray (Mullan EQ and young)
Allen > May
Fasa > Poff
Taump = Shiells

No thanks

by Driver Tue Mar 27, 2012 10:45 pm

Nick Abendanon , Lets talk transfer

by CJB Tue Mar 27, 2012 10:46 pm

But overall I rate Fasa > not losing in quality

by Driver Tue Mar 27, 2012 10:58 pm

Lindsey , should nail down the Wasps 2 jersey and really kick on now Webber has done one.

Lindsey + Southwell

for

Paice + Abendonan

by CJB Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:00 pm

Don't really want to lose top english but could be persuaded

by pullthestrings Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:35 am

Murray + Swinson + May + Tuilagi
=
Corbs + Mafi + Hape + Ojo

==

I wouldn't do a deal like that mate, I prefer all my players.

What about simply:

Murray + Guest + a HK on loan til end of season
=
Corbs + Hala'ufia

Gives you the Irish 8,9,10 axis.

by Bathite Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:56 pm

Perenise, Lund and Barkley

--

Offer away mate, i'd be up for Welch, J.Hodgson, Heathcote , Stegmann or some cash

Perenise £14m
Lund £14m
Barkley £13m

by Bathite Wed Mar 28, 2012 2:31 pm

Bid away then!

by pullthestrings Wed Mar 28, 2012 4:08 pm

Sorry for the delay mate. I could do a Vickers 4 Yarde/Diggin/Watson loan, about the same level?

by pullthestrings Wed Mar 28, 2012 4:33 pm

Would prefer to hold onto Thompstone, plan to make use of him towards the end of the season. Unless you could offer cash?

by pullthestrings Thu Mar 29, 2012 12:05 am

I've lost track of where this is heading mate. Forget the cash, are you happy with:

Murray + Guest + Vickers (loan)
4
Corbs + Hala'ufia + Yarde/Diggin/Watson (loan)

?

If not,

Murray + Wilson/Mercey + Vickers (loan)
4
Corbs + Ion + Thompstone/Ojo (loan)

by pullthestrings Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:12 pm

Let's square this away before teamsheets mate.

by pullthestrings Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:38 pm

Right, I'll settle for:

Murray + Guest + Vickers (loan) + £3 mil
4
Corbs + Hala'ufia + Thompstone (loan)

Happy?

by CJB Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:46 pm

Hopper + Mullan
4
May + Corbs

by CJB Thu Mar 29, 2012 10:51 pm

and Hopper is better than May

by Sgt_Pooly Sun Apr 01, 2012 11:17 am

Return in week:

Week 18 - Simon Shaw
Week 19 - Tom Heathcote
Week 20 - Alesana Tuilagi
Week 21 - Steven Shingler
Week 22 - Jack Cuthbert

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Apr 03, 2012 10:39 pm

What for Scott Wilson in your academy mate?

by beshocked Wed Apr 04, 2012 11:03 am

Brock James and James Short for Corbisiero and Hudson?

Would give you good cover at fly half and wing.

by beshocked Wed Apr 04, 2012 11:44 am

Fair enough Fluxy if that's how you feel. I personally see Brock James as a very acquisition for you who certainly would strength the side.

If you don't feel he is better than any of your current options fair enough.

We'll have agree to disagree Very Happy

by Bathite Thu Apr 05, 2012 9:35 am

Flux - I think you're in charge of the teamsheets page. Could you do me a favour, I have SOB on foreigns and he will probably be accepted tomorrow as it is the same price as he is accepted before.

I have got my teamsheet in, but am away all weekend, so if SOB gets accepted, which he probably will, can you put him at 6 and Lund on the bench to replace Skirving?

Cheers mucka

by Londonirishollie Tue Apr 10, 2012 7:11 pm

Kubs i'm keeping unless the deal it huge. Availiable all year round, makes my scrum solid and a potential weapon and is relatively young.

In terms of a backrow deal, i was going to make an enquiry to you about that. I'm considering using my last foreign to get a certain All Black openside. Now if i did manage to aquire him it wouldn't make sense for each of us to have half of a flanker pairing, that are a proven combo and work very well together.

The deal would hinge on us deciding who got what combo. And adding a couple of players in either way to ensure the deal was even.

Obviously all very hypothetical at this stage but let me know if its something that interests you (i'm sure Schofield could be worked into it).

by Bathite Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:31 pm

Oh, just my first team then!

I'm in for

Corbs, Paice, Vickers, Welch, Heathcote, J.Hodgson

by Bathite Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:47 pm

Heathcote and the hookers are probably my main target. No real point going for Corbs, as i guess you'll want Franks in return

by Bathite Wed Apr 11, 2012 10:00 pm

Clegg + Perenise
4
Heathcote + Welch
?
