Doesn't bother me fella, I'd have mentioned it earlier if it did. Isn't it 18 acadamy? 20 is a lot!

Hi mate what for Ali Williams?

Cheers for the loan deals - will give them plenty of game time for you!

Alright mate, I'm really desperate to get a good winger in and am very interested in JSD and Sharples. Are either of them available?

Think I might have edged it, some close games this week. Didn't think Pete would turn Chris over but looks like he has.

Anything for Rob Horne?

Are either of Zac Guildford or Horsea Gear available mate?

Would you do Steve Thompson for Joe Gray and one of your wingers?

Fair enough mate, what would it take to get Joe Gray?

Really, really interested in Joe Gray now mate, what you after for him?

Where'd that come from? Lol

Whoever is calling for him to be captain needs to give their head a shake! Got to give him a run though, he's so consistent.

I'd need English involved in some kind of deal if I was to let him go. Gray, Wood, May, JSD, Sharples would have to be involved.

Who could you offer? I'm after 8 and centre

Not really

have a look and suggest something then. To be fair i am quite keen to keep Carraro. top player in the AP.

I am thinking Wilson is not first choice for BAth but is English so has some value.

Probably 5th choice in the England pecking order around Tim Payne level.

thats the kind of level i am looking to go to.

Cheers

Mat

Bonnaire?

Will have to have a look at what players I need to release as right on my limit now I think

Just counted and I have 54 in my squad so if the offer for a loan hooker is on then I am certain that I could get some game time for the Frenchman!

Cheers! I will be needing to call my team Gloucester 'A' soon!

Not sure when I'll be able to get team in fella. On a pre-deployment course in deepest, darkest Kent. Only got phone and signal is dire

Yea no issues, I'll hopefully get team in by then. Gotta love the M25

8, 9, 10 combos definitely very important in tight games, I did the same as you and went straight for Parisse, Giteau. Pleased that I'm finally able to play Phillips - hoping that makes a difference for me this week, as not everyone rates Simpson as well.

Never used to like Hari, thought he was really hit and miss for France and Biaritz, but last two seasons his consistency has improved and he's got better and better. He won the game against England with his performance - at the moment would say he's best no8 in the world, with Parisse and Read not far behind.

Just wish England had someone like them to play!

I love your Internatonal order comparisons, means nothing but always a good read.

Should be a good one fella

Did you see that Steenkemp has broken his hip? Albacete also out for 2 months

What did you make of Robshaw yesterday? Seen you mention a few times that your not sure if he's international quality. I thought he put in a good shift, but think he is lacking that certain something that will turn him from a great club player to a top class international - though his leadership qualities might be worth having in the England squad.

I like the look of the young Lon. Irish backrower, Gibson (I think) - hoping he gets put straight into the Saxons along ith some of the other good youngsters around, like Launchberry and pretty much the whole Gloucester team that are under 22!

Anything for:

Conie, J Gray, R Gray, JdJ, Kahui, Sharples, May, Gear

Chris I think it showed at the breakdown but his form warrants a look . Think he is not an international but if you select on form then he deserves it but dusatoir and co owned him

I think Toulouse owned evreyone in that pack Matt tbh

Very true pooly completely out gunned

Not for sale sorry mate. Looking for the hattrick of speedy SA hookers?

See Vickery has took over at your place Matt

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/16222765.stm

grey, robson, williams or palmer available?

I see your reasoning, but can't let Castro go.

Guildford loan okay to go through?

recall anytime etc?

I'm ok, thanks

Caught them a few times and they've actually played well! Struggling in the backs a little esp halfback. You lucky bugger!!! Can I come?

He's scrummaging really well, wasnt up to speed in WC and it showed. His battle with Jones was epic early in season tho. I cringe every time he goes barnstorming around the park, he's a bit of a mainiac tbh..

I signed Barcella off the back of that game, was untouchable. Not often you get such a destructive LH. French are just unreal in the scrum, so strong. I love the way the take hit then just smash the power in. Would do our props wonders having a season over there

Link didn't work, yea think I remember that and a similar one for Mas!

Any of your stockpile of English wings available Matt?

Is Harden any good? Heard a few of my friends speaking about him saying that they expect a lot of good things from him next year.

What for Jamie George?

what for qera or bonnaire?

could i loan qera then please mate

I'd take de Jongh off you if we could reach a deal.

Who would you be after for him?

16m + Kahui

Nothing I really fancy then...suggest something?

Would need to be a hell of a lot of cash....thing with Horne is he plays for Oz who have an amazingly young team meaning I can't see him playing for them much so he will never be a top rated centre

What for Murray

Cowen + ???? for him?

He is a class act without doubt , makes some menacing fringe breaks. was immense vs Scarlets in the HC.

Qera + £16m
or
Saull + £10m
