No mate

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 31 May 2012, 2:07 pm

Sorry mate these players are young EQ and on fringes of England team, couldn't do players like that for a 32yo Samoan

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 31 May 2012, 2:45 pm

Newby, Cronje, Smith, Murphy?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 31 May 2012, 4:28 pm

I'll take 7m. I'll put it on domestics

by LukeLovesLuka Sat 02 Jun 2012, 5:13 pm

Hi mate, yeh i'd just started my job then so couldn't commit as much time.

Cheers for the welcome back.

by LukeLovesLuka Sun 03 Jun 2012, 12:53 am

Anything including Smit, Borths, Joubert or Monye?

by LukeLovesLuka Sun 03 Jun 2012, 12:59 am

Could add Clark, or make a bigger deal including others if you fancy it?

by Fluxy Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:16 am

Smit and Ransom can we do something for them?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:17 am

Need Mullen involved

by LukeLovesLuka Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:20 am

I rate Care mate, hence me offering for him Wink

Who you got available?

by Fluxy Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:22 am

Not sure about Heath, don't think Hougaard would fit into my team too well. So probs would need Hodge? You've been offering Smit anyway, musn't want him that much Wink

by Fluxy Sun 03 Jun 2012, 1:36 am

Quite an offer, hypothetically however think it would struggle as I'd be losing a future star for someone who will be away no doubt some of the year.

Erm hypothetically however, would be Thompstone.

by Londonirishollie Mon 04 Jun 2012, 12:17 am

I'm interested in Wigglesworth. Not sure what to offer though. Any thoughts?

by Londonirishollie Wed 06 Jun 2012, 8:58 pm

Are there any other players apart from Thomas that i could include in a deal for wigglesworth?

by Fluxy Wed 06 Jun 2012, 9:37 pm

I'm in for Wiggles

anything for him?

by Fluxy Mon 11 Jun 2012, 12:18 am

Brookes Ransom - deal

by pullthestrings Mon 11 Jun 2012, 1:41 pm

Anything for Parra? Willing to go big.

by stnick88 Sun 17 Jun 2012, 3:31 pm

what for skivington, monye, burger?
can include halfpenny.

by stnick88 Mon 18 Jun 2012, 1:00 pm

Monye and Skivington and Burger

Fitzpatrick, Halfpenny and 4m I would do.

by stnick88 Mon 18 Jun 2012, 2:03 pm

go on then mate, 6m is fair. deal.

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:20 pm

Wiggles + Mullen

Care + Stanks

?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:35 pm

I like Botha mate but Launchbury gives me options and I don't want to sell him

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:42 pm

Slater/Botha on top?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 26 Jun 2012, 8:07 am

No probs fella

by Fluxy Sat 30 Jun 2012, 11:41 am

I would need a gain elsewhere for Nev as Hodgson is good but not quite as as good an all rounder. Make an offer mate

by Fluxy Sat 30 Jun 2012, 1:20 pm

I can't see smit as a gain mate, an ageing journeyman.

by Fluxy Sun 01 Jul 2012, 12:15 pm

Still don't see Joubert as a gain mate.

by pullthestrings Tue 03 Jul 2012, 1:33 pm

Yes mate - 8 mil. interest you?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 05 Jul 2012, 10:25 am

You have recieved a cash injection

by pullthestrings Fri 06 Jul 2012, 6:11 pm

Brits = 20 mil?

by Fluxy Thu 19 Jul 2012, 6:59 pm

Evans would take Hodge and some. The others are good to go too, got my eyes on Kruis, Skivs, Brown, Wray and Spencer

by Driver Sun 22 Jul 2012, 12:48 am

Need to be a big one for Daly.

by Driver Sun 22 Jul 2012, 1:16 am

Brits + Goode

for

Grey + Daly

by Driver Sun 22 Jul 2012, 1:23 am

Worth a punt lol

What you offering for him?

by Driver Sun 22 Jul 2012, 1:30 am

Daly, Buchanan, Matthews

For

Botha , Smit, Wiggles

I'd do that.

Think Charlie Matthews will be a star as well.

by pullthestrings Tue 24 Jul 2012, 8:52 am

Allen + Parra
=
Simpson + Bowden

Give your back line a bit of zip and have a nice balance with Bowden/Smith in midfield?

by Driver Thu 26 Jul 2012, 12:09 am

Hodgson + Joubert

for

Farrell + Kvesic

just a enquiry at minute

by Driver Thu 26 Jul 2012, 12:15 am

I'm really after Hodgson as i lack a attack minded 10 to really get my backs going.

Fair enough even though a fair few reckon Kvesic will end up at 8.
