Yes he is mate.

Prefer both of mine there. Afoa not really for sale A TH prop as good as him availible all year round is hard to come by.

LukeLovesLuka wrote:Is Saunders academy age?

He is and you can have him for £2m

there's a young lock called Tom Price you might want to put into your academy - very good player and over 18 so people might bid on him if your not careful!

Isnt the rule u20 for your own academy? Thats what I've been working too anyway

Yes it is SJE. I pasted the rules on the homepage a couple of days ago for reference.

Phew!!!

Chuck in Miller 4 TNW?

oh cool - thought it was u18 - that works out well for me!

Jauzion for Matavista

Enq

Talk to me about Jauzion.

Haha will deal with Nalaga 4 EFS then

What cash would be enough?

Afoa nfs. His mobility vital for me.

I am looking for a 12, or a winger so for Louw would be someone like Twelvetrees or Nacewa for him.

Unsure though.

Sorry missed that for Mujati.

Probably Ben Franks for Mujati as I am a big fan and he is availible all year round.

I'v got £8.2m in the bank at the moment could add a prem player for you to release?

Sweet confirm!

Not interested in 2 for 1's mate, any deal for Barritt would need 36 coming back

any chance of getting wilko?
can include big players.

sorry mate, but am not looking to sell Launchbury - he's one of my favourite young players coming through. am going to put a list of players available on main page a little later tonight.

Mujati, Louw and Clegg

for

Franks, Fritz and Biggs?

JTH + ???
for
36 and Monye?

Can't stretch to Burns I'm afraid. Personal favourite.

Could throw in Sam Twomny, England under 20 lock who will still be academy aged next season.

JTH and Sam Smith and Nathan Catt
for
36 and Monye

Interest you at all mate?

I thought it was in your favour, Two players playing in AP all year round (unsure on new SA rules but think Louw is all year round).

Certainly not adding Dickson. Could add in Lowe for 36.

Okay mate. Let me know when you decide.

No thanks, think Mermoz is genuine top 5 in the world, you've seen me say how much I rate him for years on other game. Pocock interests me though

I need an EQ winger though, Biggs a big part of the deal for me.

How about I add Joe Ward for Marc Jones?

Got the summer to balance the squad up again though. I am not looking to lose Mujati but could really do with Frits and Biggs.

Could have Heymans if you wanted him?

I also reckon you'll find replacements for Biggs and Fritz easier than you'd find another Mujati

Anything on this mate?
Can drop it to Smith & Catt = Monye as hes the target for me if your not wanting to swap the centres up
If this doesnt interest is there anything else doing for Monye?

I wouldnt sell Thomas mate - all the guys I have available are on the homepage.

If I lose attwood and JDV i would look for a similar standard coming back, with the smaller squads I can't do a 3-2 deal really. Do like Youngs if he's available?

Sorry mate, not a fan of Poitrenaud. Would do Ranger for Vermeulen though.

Who would you add in that deal? I am struggling a little to see anyone in your squad that i want who would be a realistic add.

Sorry mate, not interested in Joubert.

Lakafia for Joubert?

Not a huge fan of Lund tbh

I'd disagree mate, at the start of the season people were suggesting Seymour should be playing for England.

I've put it up on the confirms

Haven't got squad space to do 2 for 1s

What for Louw?

^^ Haha....I was waiting for that

Pretty sad you've managed to get him haha. Not doing that mate so I guess I'll leave it.

Me and Arry tried our best to get a deal but it was a constant stalemate. Me and Luke both happy with our deal I think.

Dont need a FH back mate,

Interested in Pocock, 36, Cole

Be losing out a fair bit with a Barritt/36 swap added...

Can we base something along the lines of:

Evans + Bruss + + Barritt + PDJ

Pocock + 36 + Cole + Sheridan/Jenkins/Youngs/

not really mate, wana keep hold of garvey and evans.

What for Crane?
