Foreign Transfers

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.

* = current bidding wars.

He was my next choice

I was tempted to go for him myself SJE.

Also the Young Leinster CEntre is a good buy

I guessed that Matt you have been singing his praises a few times this season.

You mean O'Malley? Hes going very well this year to be fair. Cave at Ulster as well is another 13 worth a look at.

Thing is SJE like a lot of these Irish players they are producing he can play across the backrow.

you said he was primarily a 7 and he has played 6 for Munster and i saw an interview wita a coach saying long term he could play 8.

Gives you options in your backrow. good carrier and very destructive. big future

Yeah he came through the acadamy and the AIL playing 7 but definately has the skills to play anywhere in the backrow. Potential captain material down the line as well.

Was going to go for O'Mahony, but not keen on getting into a bidding war!

Hmm, have to think about it now!

We always have the same targets Pete!

Must be the Irish in me SJE

Michael Hooper 6m

£6.5m

48m George North

Wow will that make North the biggest ever transfer? Richie Gray was up there too?

What's your budget Chris?

That's me out for North unless anyone is going to put in any cash bids for my squad players. Not sure he was worth losing an EQ flanker as good as Armitage for though

Quins bid 8 mil for Michael Hooper.

Chris, you said you had 5m at 11am and have since released Commins for 1m. That's not 6.5m

Knew I should hve kept bloody quiet about Hooper! Muppet

I was going to bid him but was waiting to raise cash instead of release. Awsome talent, tipped to fight it out with Pocock for years. Looked great when I seen him last season

Luke Whitelock - 6m

Pooly for the love of god seriously will you please stop this.

£29.5m
£25m fofana
£4.5m
Mason released
Commins released

Will you please drop this - I wouldn't bid for him if I didnt have the money. This is effecting everyone now and I don't think it fair to question me when you don't do it to anyone else.

This is the third time I have asked today so will you please stop doing things like this, it's ruining my enjoyment of the game and it's giving everyone else a headache.

Please just draw a line and move on.

Calm down will yer, Jesus...your like a bird.

You said you had 5m this morning and released Commins for 1m. I'm only going on what you said. Your so bloody touchy!

Luke whitelock is 21 - think cut off is 20 year olds

So he is, withdraw Whitelock

Whitelock is too
Old hence why I did not bid on him. Had to be under 20 as of November so 1 year too old

So is Sam cane another good backrower. Tough finding a good u20
