Would need to be a giant deal mate

Think I should be ok when Higginbotham comes back, may keep tabs on him though, also Garvey seemed to have a fairly good game this weekend!!

Reluctant as always to let Quedragoa go mate. Suits my backrow to a tee. Would need a replacement backrower and a good gain else where to let him go

1.Andrew Sheridan
2.John Smit
3.Dave Wilson

Matfield looking at broadcasting Pete:

Something along the lines of Tom Wood and Elsadt for Quedragao and ??

Lakafia for John Davies???

See Quedragao as better then Wood but Woods EQ evening it up. Left the Elsadt part of the deal open for you to name your price though as Im sure you will be reluctant to sell after only signing him during the summer

He's looking pretty good, could be a very good move for him coming down your way.

I'd have done something with 36 but that's out, how about something with Mullen or Trinder?

Depends who you'v got available mate as i'm 99% through a deal with 207 which see's Skrela come my way.


Mark Cueto , Henry Trinder and Bob Casey interest me who you are likely to be willing to part with i imagine. Owen Farrell and Zanni interest me from the rest

Yea no probs mate, I'd agree on those valuations. Really excited about Gray though

Lakafia + Balshaw

for

Cueto + Casey

That's the deal i'd be more inclined to do.


But is it really the same as this offer in terms of value to my team

Mercey + Myler + Lakafia 4 Fielden + Skrela + Delve

I'm improving at 10 , getting a 8 who is available all year round and a solid finisher.

Could you Pm me your thoughts on that offer bud.

I don't think I can Pete, after Trinder & Mullen there's a substantial leap in quality Adam Jones/BdP/Elstadt/Corbs etc.

The nearest I'm interested in are Trinder/Mullen/Kitch

Seeing anything?

I thought of Gray + Forsyth for Trinder as possible...two England U20 players, quite hard to put something together

Could add Nonu to that list too, didn't see you put bigger deal

Pete trinder has been great last 2 games for gloucester. they have moved May to 12 as he is a bit stronger in contact and a bit more of a footballer and it has worked wonders.

Trinder is great taking the outside shoulder and his pace puts him through the tackle really often.

Mullan, Lahiff, Cueto interest me.

Where we at Pete?

Happy to negotiate mate, you know who I like

Gray + ?

Mullen

Really keen on Mullan mate - what would you want for him?

Mullan
for
Dermody + Marc Jones?

Lakafia + Balshaw + Smith/Thompstone?

for

Cueto + Toeava

NFS mate

Want to make a counter offer?

I bet you would mate - two backs are way out of Mullan's league and Attwood will be in the England team by the 6Nations replacing Shaw or Deacon, whilst Mullan will be with the Saxons.

The list on the homepage includes the guys I am willing to let go from my squad.

Wouldnt want to take a big gamble like that, think Mullan is a good player, but not worth losing big players for and all of those are big players for me, so wont go any further with it mate.

I was happy to deal on that mate until my dinner break today when i done some Bob Casey research and discovered a lot of Irish fans don't expect to see him play again.

If you think you can make a new offer based around Cueto and Lakafia feel free to.

I did that when I sold you Lawes for £3million! Lol

How about Mark Cueto and Tim Visser for Rapheal Lakafia and Iain Balshaw?

No problem mate.

Nothing else Pete with the players mentioned?

Jones, BdP, Kitchener, Wood, Nonu, Mullen, Trinder

Here's a cheeky offer

Lakafia for Owen Farrell???

Alexander + Gray

Jones

How about Waller?

geraghty, eves, harrison?

George Chuter - returns week 10
Brok Harris - returns week 11
Seilala Mapusua - returns week 12
Thierry Dusautoir - returns week 13
James Short - returns week 14
Bob Casey - returns week 15



Lose Thierry and have Tom Wood as a replacement - Everyone's squads have come on so much in this league!

Gray + ?
for
Trinder

Hi Pete would it be alright to call Perry back now mate as you have Houghard back?

Tactics and everything else in from me know.

It may well give an insight but i still think its horses for courses. If Carter and Sharples and dagg were available i would still play much the same style but would definitely let the ball out more and try more off the cuff stuff like quick throws etc.

as you know i am always a huge fan of Forwards bashing the hell out of the opposition and then putting gloss on with the backs

thats true we both have some key players missing. however most of mine are in the backs and yours spread about a bit more.

Gloucester i reckon about 6th. have lots of talent but lack depth particularly in front row and at ten

What for Goode?

And Short

Cheers for the mention on the homepage Pete, appreciate it

Looks like Stuart Barnes has singled out Tom Wood as future England captain, really interesting article yesterday by him that said Johnson picked odd captains and needed to go with youth and someone that could be our version of Warburton. I can't see Tindall playing again for England and would be surprised if Easter got the captaincy because it doesn't show any long term planning.

Reckon you might have the next England captain in your team there!

any chance of Mullan as I dont think Waller will improve my options - happy to do Abbott, could do another player too?

Surprised you havn't tried to squeez Matfield in for a few games Pete?

Not till the barbarians games in december

I do rate Mullan a lot, but am struggling in the second row area for quality if I let Attwood go out on loan too. is there anyone else you would want for him?

Could do Lamont? He'd add some beef to your backline, especially from fullback - with wet weather coming in he could be a great addition until x-mas?
