Foreign Transfer Page

First topic message reminder :

As a general rule, if you want a world class player (and by world class I mean a player that I consider to be one of the 3 best in the world in his position at the moment), you will be looking at between £20-25 million.

For a top international with over 30 caps, £17-22 million, and an international with less than 30 caps £15-20 million. There may be some exceptions to this in the case of certain players, but this will be the general rule.

There will be an upper limit of £10 million for uncapped academy aged players unless two or more managers want the player and enter into a bidding war in which case there is no upper limit.

Bids for uncapped players who are over academy age limits will be judged on their own individual merits.

If I've missed anyone's bids let me know.

Rumoured to be Scarlets or Worcester.

Impact sub of all time.

Brilliant carrier lazy defender and out of shape.

Great buy as an impact sub. Frightens players.

He's gone from Agen to Bayonne Mat - just wanted someone who can smash people about a bit - sure it was him who destroyed Wilko last season!

Jack Dixon £8m

I think somebody might already have Jack Dixon mate.

I bought him when at Worcester....not sure if Nick kept him

I didnt see him in Nick's academy - had a quick look through other people's academies and haven't seen him there either (I dont think!).

He may have released him.

Tamati Ellison - £18m

Isn't Ellison already in the league?

£10m Benji Marshall

Driver, just to let you know I will be making a bid for Marshall too, once my other offer has been accepted/rejected!

Worth a punt fella, not too sure where he'll play in union. Aus rumoured to be funding 70% of his contract as they need more intrest.

He has the best side step in rugby - amazing player. Not sure where he'd play though - reckon maybe outside centre with his ability to beat people.

Seems like the Wallabies are trying to throw big money at guys like him to get some league fans more interested!

best side step in rugby league doesnt mean will be as effective in union though.

Depends where they play him really I think, most cases the true world class players can transfer their skills to union, as long as they aren't playing in one of the real specialist positions, front row and scrum halves - can't recall one person who has crossed over and been successful there, also same as no10 I think.

Marshall is a top class player, would be a huge signing if he came to union - apparently they are looking at another 2-3 big names to bring over too!

14mil Benji Marshall

Put Jack Dixon bid in domestics as he was part of the game originally

Marshall £32m

Have any of you fellas seen Benji Marshall defend ? Makes quade look like Michael jones.

Will not be Able
To submit a team again this week. Broadband back from next Thursday. No mobile data reception in my new gaff either.

But he's an attacking genius Mat, one of the best runners I've seen.

May need to drop out of the bid for him though as really need a lineout lock - any suggestions anyone? Or does anyone have anyone available?

Could possibly do something for Kellock or Parling maybe?

Fluxy put a list of the players on my page that you are interested in.

will cancel my Marshall bid as really have to improve lineout first.

Lood de Jager £9m

Harlequins bid 16 mil for Gjorji Jgenti

Pablo Matera - £5m

Guys while Pete is away I am happy to accept/reject the foreign transfers, just to keep the ball rolling for anyone who wants to add to their squad before the season starts?

Harlequins bid 16 mil for Gjorji Jgenti - Accepted
Saints bid £9m for Lood de Jager £9m - Accepted
London Irish bid £28m for Benji Marshall - Accepted (provided that Prop still wants to buy him following my withdrawal at £32m?).

Fluxy's bid of Pablo Matera will be accepted/rejected tomorrow.

Luke's bid for Tamati Ellison - £18m - accepted (as long as no one else has him!).
