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.

Canes too old too!! Damn....I want Hooper

Sam Cane - 5m

13/01/92

Cane is a top player. Many can't decide between him and Whitelock as to who is the best prodigy between the two.

I like the look of Cane but behind Hooper and probably Gill too in terms of development.

Surprised nobody has bent for Ainscombe....

Anscombe too old. I googled came the other day and found him too be too old and now the bay of plenty site has him as 20 In January.

Literally been updated today or yesterday. Good player already. Just couldn't not by goosen

I'm having great trouble deciding my other transfer.

What are people's views on Ben Tapaui (?) and Alex Cuthbert?

Goosen looks canny too, stacks out there really. I've got a little list I made a while back. Hooper was top.....damn you Steve

Tapaui looked pretty average and prob well down the Aus list.

What position you looking at Steve?

I'm not particularly after any position. My wingers should get better rated as the Super 15 kicks off.

Tapuai went on the Oz tour so is clearly in amongst it but won't get a look in if JOC goes at 12 in the long run. Also gives me the Reds 10, 12 and 13 which is pretty useful as a unit.

Yea Morahan is a real talent, just needs a bit more exposure I think.

I really like Sadie & Francois Venter as young centres, Venter would add another dimension to midfield too. A big hard carrying unit

Sadie is unreal talent him and Goosen the golden boys of sa

10/05/1991 , Auckland

that is anscombe's DOB...he still too old to buy??

Rhodi Jones - REJECTED
Peter O'Honey - ACCEPTED

I'd add Jaco Toit to that Matt the Lions full back.

Quins bid 10 mil for Johann Sadie. (Also got 8 mil on Hooper).

Agree he is very good

How can SJE's bid for O'Mahony be accepted last night when he only put it in yesterday afternoon? If it's less than 12 hours from bidding to being accepted then my previous one should have been accepted before SJE came in and outside it.

Not Happy.

Rule is 24 hrs from bid surely. We need consistency omahoney is still up for bids surely

I'm sure its just a mistake

Is it definatley 24hrs? I can't remember that been a written rule.

If it is, Driver might have just slipped up. There loads of bids floating about and it's hard to keep track sometimes.

i lose track of every bid to be fair. i thought i could confirm mine at 10am and then realised i had bidded aT 12.30

Rhodri Jones 2mil

Pete is right remember it being 24 hours so I should have to wait till 12.18 to confirm POM

Was after another young back rower - was between Sam Cane (who I thought was 21 so didn't go for) and Hooper. So £6.5m for Cane.

Sam Cane 7m

You might as well confirm him now SJE, I was going to release a few players and put in another bid this morning but don't have time now

Sorry lads error on my part read the time wrong last night as I was a bit excited following the football. On the phone at the moment so can't type and scroll back the pages but 24 hours after if SJE is still highest bidder he can have him

Cane £8m

Steven Kitschoff - 4m

Colby Fainga'a £7m

As my under 20 bid

You will not be able to mock homer and his hair colour if you manage to get kitschoff.

he is one large ginger lump. very highly rated

I'm after Homer next, I want a team of gingers

why pooly?! try and scare off the opposition?!

Hoping the poor North East weather will prove an attractive selling point the sensative skin of the red haired people?

Haha...bit of both really. Can't beat a good ginger kid to boost moral of the other guys!

Driver when will my bid for Hooper be accepted/declined mate?

Half hour Nate and you can confirm hopper

InTheFastLane wrote:48m George North

Accepted

Is my bid for Sadie ok Driver? 10 mil and was done at 11:19pm (ish) on Weds.

And mine for Jones?

Sade - Accepted
Jones - Rejected (needs to be a lot higher look at the price of goosen)

Missed a couple Driver

Chris and Arry accepted
Pooly rejected needs to be a wee bit higher

6m

Meant reject chris thought it was 18 not 8

Driver how did Mat get Goosen for £6m and mine for £8m for a player with far less first team experience get rejected? Also Steven's Hooper bid was for £8m and again he has more first team experience?

Not really sure I am following the whole thing atm in terms of how much you need to bid on players?

Also Arry's bid for Faianga - £7m was accepted and again he has more game time than Cane?

Bit out of line having a go at bids Chris

Canes played the same amount of Rugby as Matt Todd has in the NPC and he went for 17m

£18m for Vasily Artemyev

Pooly can you accept/reject this one tomorrow for me.
