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 Bids Under Consideration

anonmattyt - Karl Chateau - £13 million (06/06/12 - 14:50)

Lovely person Very Happy

£10m Ainscombe

by dammit_chris Wed Feb 01, 2012 1:56 pm

Looks a good player ITFL - good find!

by 'Arry Spurs Wed Feb 01, 2012 2:51 pm

Need some cash guys help me out!

by 'Arry Spurs Wed Feb 01, 2012 4:49 pm

On the basis that Chris is still alright with loaning me £3m:

London Wasps bid £16.5m for Dan Tuohy

by **Ozzy3213** Wed Feb 01, 2012 4:55 pm

Tuohy is capped, a very good player and in great form so would be looking for a minimum bid of £18 million to secure his services Arry.

If you can raise that by midnight he is yours.

by 'Arry Spurs Wed Feb 01, 2012 4:57 pm

Don't suppose you could loan me a bit of money mate? I'll pay it back as soon as I have it

by 'Arry Spurs Wed Feb 01, 2012 5:13 pm

Dan Tuohy £21.5m

by dammit_chris Wed Feb 01, 2012 5:27 pm

Arry pretty sure Pete said you could get him for £18m above...

by dammit_chris Wed Feb 01, 2012 5:28 pm

And happy to loan you the money - just make sure you read the small print of Northampton Loan Sharks and the 1000% interest rates, payback clauses of taking Jamie Roberts if the £3000m isnt repaid within 30 days etc, etc.

by Driver Wed Feb 01, 2012 6:03 pm

£15.4m for Rhys Ruddock as my U20 bid he was 20 on the cut off date so should count

by **Ozzy3213** Thu Feb 02, 2012 3:14 am

Rhys Ruddock turned 21 last November driver, and he's capped, so £15.4 million wouldn't be enough in any case. Sorry mate REJECTED

Pete are there any rules for multiple bids and if you do a bid are you then allowed to back out of it?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sat May 26, 2012 5:12 pm

Only allowed 1 bid at a time Chris mate. Not sure on withdrawing bids but has been allowed before so im sure you can withdraw if your at risk of losing out on another potential target

Chris Feauai - Sautia - 5 mil ( 1 Super Rugby cap and 18 years old)

by **Ozzy3213** Sun May 27, 2012 4:50 am

Ok, just to answer a couple of points that have been raised.

1. You may bid on 1 player at a time.

2. If you enter into into a bidding war for a player, and you drop out whilst yours is the highest bid, I will have to give serious consideration as to whether you really wanted the player or were just hiking up the price for your opponent. If I feel that is the case, your opponent will get the player for either 50% of his last bid or the low end price for a player of that experience (whichever is the lower of the two). I will also give consideration to banning you from putting in any bids for a set period of time.

Hope this clears things up for people.

by **Ozzy3213** Sun May 27, 2012 5:31 am

You not diving in with one Arry?

by **Ozzy3213** Sun May 27, 2012 5:33 am

Mat

I've just seen your point in relation to opening bids early and I agree that potentially some might miss out, so unless everyone has got a bid in today I won't accept/reject any bids until Monday afternoon/evening.

by 'Arry Spurs Sun May 27, 2012 5:35 am

I think I will now, was just working out a few things

David Denton £18.5m

by Guest Sun May 27, 2012 5:48 am

by stnick88 Sun May 27, 2012 6:33 am

Denton 20 mil

Ooh, bidding war, over to you Arry Wink

As everyone has either posted a bid or posted on this thread since it opened and therefore everyone knows bidding is open, I will answer bids 24 hours from when they were made (or as soon as possible after 24 hours depending on when I am on).

by dammit_chris Sun May 27, 2012 6:58 am

Ben Tameifuna £14m

by **Ozzy3213** Sun May 27, 2012 7:01 am

And we're on with another bidding war!!!

by Steven_Sharks Sun May 27, 2012 7:18 am

Is there anyway we could have bids which are too low rejected as soon as you see them Pete, particularly ones which you have to take on merit due to them not really fitting into the guidelines.

by Guest Sun May 27, 2012 7:59 am

I think the whole tactical aspect of bidding is better if you have to our wait
A day. It stops people putting in silly bids.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun May 27, 2012 8:01 am

Agree with Matt, gets a bit hard to police otherwise Steve

by 'Arry Spurs Sun May 27, 2012 8:03 am

Argh hate having first world problems like not having enough money to get the player you want in the foreign transfers!

by 'Arry Spurs Sun May 27, 2012 8:20 am

David Denton £23.5m
