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.

I am going by what SJE told me during the week, where if the player hasnt been released from a club then he will have to count as a foreign player signing. Don't shoot the messenger!!!

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sun 09 Feb 2014, 7:41 pm

My understanding was that the EQ abroad rule was removed with the new draft of rules that came in this season so he counts as a foreign

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sun 09 Feb 2014, 7:46 pm

CJB - Teddy Thomas 8m
Matt - Cornell Du Preez 10m

REJECTED

No probs mate, I must have misses that joining late.

Looks a decent option for somebody with a bid, bit unfit but strong scrummager

RESEARCH

My opinion on Rooney is that he would, like Morgan, be against the spirit of the game if I allowed him as an EQ transfer.

To clarify my reasons, he was born in Australia to English parents, and holds an English passport. He followed the £££ to France and Toulon, and when he was going to sign for Worcester he said he would love to play for England. He has then signed for the Rebels and has gone back to Aus and said he would love to play for the Wallabies. If he has a great Super 15 and gets called up by Australia, then it would be like giving you another foreign transfer.

The EQ abroad thing initially came in to enable managers to bring back proper Englishmen abroad, like Steve Thompson, Magnus Lund, Ollie Smith, Ollie Phillips etc, not to snap up dual qualifieds who have not yet been capped, that may go on to play for another country.

Somebody is bored!

Not really relevant to Woolley though, who is English and playing in England. He was eligible for Wales due to going to uni there but was Quins academy and now at Wasps. He's English through and through.

Good signing but I have no foreign bids left.

And Prop you now get a foreign transfer bid - if I were you I'd go for Scott Higginbottom, the Aussie and probably the best no6 still available in the game, would link well with McCalman too. Reckon you could get him for around £19-21m too.

The clues in your original quote Driver:

To make a foreign transfer (i.e. from any club outside of the AP, regardless of whether the player is English) a bid should be made on the Foreign Transfers Page, which will be considered by me against the posted guidelines for purchase prices before being accepted or rejected.

Stumped as who to go for here.

Any ideas?

by Fluxy Sun 09 Feb 2014, 10:47 pm

Same mate.

Lolagi Visinia - £4m

by Driver Sun 09 Feb 2014, 10:50 pm

I'm going for

£18 Bernard Le Roux.

Juan Smith is being let go of at the end of the season by Falcons

by Fluxy Sun 09 Feb 2014, 10:53 pm

Good shout. I may change mine actually. I still need another flanker!

by Driver Sun 09 Feb 2014, 10:54 pm

Have Smith for £5m after the 6ns if you want him?

by Fluxy Sun 09 Feb 2014, 10:56 pm

I like smith, but not the same player he once was. cheers for the offer though!

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon 10 Feb 2014, 9:31 pm

Worcester

Bernard Le Roux 20m

by Driver Mon 10 Feb 2014, 10:02 pm

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 10 Feb 2014, 11:01 pm

Is Le Roux the guy who's been dropped from French squad?

Matt Symons (Chiefs) - £12.25 million

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon 17 Feb 2014, 4:13 pm

I was wondering who would take a punt on him

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 17 Feb 2014, 4:14 pm

You know me, I've always liked a punt in this game. Could be spectacularly successful or could be £12 million down the drain.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon 17 Feb 2014, 4:30 pm

by CJB Mon 17 Feb 2014, 4:38 pm

Was also tempted

by ChequeredJersey Tue 18 Feb 2014, 7:06 pm

Think they are closed. If not moala a great buy. Deliberated last
2 windows over him

by SirJohnnyEnglish Fri 28 Feb 2014, 9:38 pm

This is closed now till the summer Pete

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 28 Feb 2014, 9:41 pm

Ah balls, not been on as much recently so didn't know when it closed.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Fri 28 Feb 2014, 9:53 pm

Who's caught your eye then? Alofa Alofa looks a real star!

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 28 Feb 2014, 9:55 pm

Was going to chuck in a cheeky bid for the Blues wing/full back Tevita Li.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Fri 28 Feb 2014, 10:04 pm

Nice try today wasn't it!

by **Ozzy3213** Fri 28 Feb 2014, 10:07 pm

I've not seen it mate, only got up midway through the Rebels game!

by Guest Fri 28 Feb 2014, 10:10 pm

Great try. Moala looks good at centre and wing also.
Cheslin Kolbe the stormers back will be a menace also if he learns to tackle. Great in currie cup. Young Auckland 10 was great in ITM and assume was good today although only seen highlights

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sat 07 Jun 2014, 8:55 pm

Foreigns open from 9am on Monday. I'll be rejecting bids if your squads are over. Please have DOBs on academy players to make it easier for me Very Happy

by Driver Sat 07 Jun 2014, 9:07 pm

Jonny I'm on 7am-7pm for Sunday/Monday at work so my bid will come in late on.

Have to check budget first mind!

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sat 07 Jun 2014, 9:14 pm

Window won't open for us Driver until Sarries, Chiefs, Irish, Bath & Worc/Welsh have all made a signing anyway thumbsup

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 07 Jun 2014, 9:19 pm

I'm having a few issues with DOB's.

They're young enough as in England U18 squad but cannot find anything!

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sat 07 Jun 2014, 9:21 pm

Fair enough just put England u18s next to them don't mind the odd player but don't want to have to check every individual player!

by Driver Sat 07 Jun 2014, 9:21 pm

No worries i'll do some serious scouting on my days off then.

by prop_lyd Mon 09 Jun 2014, 9:01 am

Can I bid from now?
