No interest he's gone badly off form. What could I add within reason to make you deal?

For Toulouse. Medard is better than Rougerie so no interest in that where it is already in your favour with James + Vickerman

Hoeata is 27, hardly young!

Dermody I wouldn't start personally

But when I have Simmons + Whitelock who are both under 23 he isn't really young.

Don't really see anything was only interested in Rougerie

Mears 4 Thompson maybe

That's a deal then mate

I'll stick on confirms

what for Dermody?

who you interested in? Ross? let me know.

As I can't loan you Ross how about Cannon/Swinson

What for Nick Easter?

I'll pass on that then mate, no value in it for me. Let me know if you see anything else.

what for waldrom?

i would want a 12 in return, i like jauzion but rate SBW a fair bit higher since Jauzion has been dropped from France

Don't think I can see anything mate. He's perfect for my midfield and I payed over the odds to get him

Re: Gloucester
 by LukeLovesLuka Today at 7:47 pm
Easter + Hines + Clerc
for
Bonnaire + Palmer + Kahui



Hi Luke see each of my Players as better so no interest sorry.
 

Bonnaire for Waldrom?

Well done mate, good win for you there.

What for Waldron or Easter?

Interested in the following - ps I really wouldnt play Jason Hobson, he is struggling at Bristol due to an injury he picked up at the start of last season.

Tom Youngs (HK) (ENG)
David Pocock (OS) (AUS)
Ernst Joubert (N8) (RSA)
Jonathan Poff (OS/BS/N8) (NZL)
Micky Young (ENG)
Jonny Wilkinson (ENG)
Isa Nacewa (FB/WG/FH/IC) (FIJ)
Vincent Clerc (WG) (FRA)

Hobson came off for bristol Sunday and the crowd were booing him he was dreadful. Their fullback Watkins looks some player never seen him before but looked great.

Get free tickets for Bristol and it's on a Sunday so often go. Hobson should be the rock in an inexperienced team but is a fat joke at the moment.

He would get killed in his current state if you think coonie, wood, Domingo, etc are up against him in this lesgue

Cheers for that matt

Sorry to be harsh but if anyone watches championship would see it. Hobson was talked of as England years ago but made a silly move and has had terrible luck injury wise. Shame

He got a cap I think, but then like you say, gone a bit downhill after that.

Literally just about to take off
After delay

De jongh for Steyn ??

Will
Answer tomorrow

Would be interested still in Poff, Joubert, Young and Nacewa - completely understand why you wouldnt want to sell Pocock of Wilko!

Let me know who you like and we could go from there - could do anything post WC if you wanted?

What would you be after for Miller?

Waldrom? Let me know

Hi Luke

Hape could get involved but i have zero interest in Traille.

I don't think I can let JJ go.

Miller is on fire atm for Sale at full back by the way so worth watching his progress to see when you can use him in this game. He has come on leaps and bounds.

Am after an outside centre, so maybe Damien Traille.

No worries mate, am going offline for a few hours so have a think about it.

The way youngs and flood played you are looking pretty for your deal.

Was just about to post the same thing! Think Wilko is going to be the making of your backline and should be available all year now too.

Think you are going to be a big threat this year.

Keen on Young and Nacewa. Anything for them mate?

Lol maybe. Yach has been great which has helped too.

How long you had Yach for?

Had him when I took over last June, from the start I think.

You've got some cracking halfbacks - I'm so glad that Phillips has been on great form for Wales..

Bonnaire waldron deal

Not Ben, don't really rate him

What for Mickey Young and Tom Youngs mate? - how about Casey Lualala and Sione Kalamafoniy, who played brilliantly for Tonga (see his reviews from the France game!). Would consider both of my players better, but I want to get a no9 and hooker!

See your point there - if you wanted a young English qualified scrummie I have Sam Harrison I could throw in? I paid £9-10m from him.

What about Harrison just for Youngs? I've got too many scrum halves and you've got 5 hookers?

get Dan Cole in the deal?

Depending on the deal then Wigglesworth could be involved...What are you thinking

No interest in Joubert sorry

Be interested in Cole

For me bonnier considerably better than Waldrom so can't add to it. The fact that Waldron is English makes the deal fair.

Have reservations about letting bonnaire go as good play hari and him and destroy other people's lineout

Lydiate is a lot better than Waldrom and I wouldn't start Waldrom tbh

Would consider letting David go if I was getting 36 in return mate

Not keen on either of those players mate, sorry.
