Foreign Transfers
To make a foreign transfer (i.e from any club outside of the AP, regardless of whether the player is English) a bid should be made on the Foreign Transfers Page, which will be considered by me against the posted guidelines for purchase prices before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.

Foreign transfers will unlimited during the off season and 2 during the season. The exact dates of the two transfer windows during the season is to be confirmed.

As a general rule, if you want a world class player (and by world class I mean a player that I consider to be one of the 3 best in the world in his position at the moment), you will be looking at between £20-25 million.

For a top international with over 30 caps, £17-22 million, and an international with less than 30 caps £15-20 million. There may be some exceptions to this in the case of certain players, but this will be the general rule.

There will be an upper limit of £10 million for uncapped academy aged players unless two or more managers want the player and enter into a bidding war in which case there is no upper limit.

Bids for uncapped players who are over academy age limits will be judged on their own individual merits.

Current Bids Under Consideration

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 16 Jul - 22:21

What's his first name? I don't know him so am going to have to research him in order to assess your bid.

by Driver Mon 16 Jul - 22:35

He's a monster

by LukeLovesLuka Mon 16 Jul - 22:55

Sorry, Edwin Maka - 19 yr old who has signed an academy contract at Toulouse, no first team exp. As Chris says, looks an absolute beast.

You dog pooly. That bid had been there for days boxing

Haha...forgot all it till you posted. Only got a bit of cash yesterday, have to check my budget.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 21 Jul - 20:03

Bidding at £5 million with Mat then. Will be on at quarter past one tomorrow to make decision unless another bid comes in for him.

by Guest Sun 22 Jul - 22:22

I will confirm this then ?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 22 Jul - 22:23

by Guest Mon 23 Jul - 7:07

Pete can I confirm this ?? It said previously that it would be approved if no bid made by yesterday lunch time. My bids have been there for 3 days previously

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 23 Jul - 9:11

It was just over a day and a half, not 3 days.

My initial bid was over 24hrs which I think is a minimum not a rule.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Mon 23 Jul - 9:14

Ozzy3213 wrote:Ok, to clarify, 24 hours is the minimum time before a bid can be accepted. Sometimes it will be longer simply because I've not had a chance to get on. Bidding remains open until a bid is accepted. That has always been the case since way back when chewy was running the game.

will have a look at bids after I've had my dinner.

Posted by Pete when Steve/Matt were bidding for Cordero thumbsup

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 23 Jul - 11:11

Apologies for not getting on yesterday to deal with bids, life takes over sometimes.

Bidding stands at £5.5 million with Pooly, and I will let you know now I am unlikely to be up at half 10 tonight to give a decision on it, so will probably be some time tomorrow morning unless a counter bid comes in.

by prop_lyd Mon 23 Jul - 11:30

Seeing as he appear popular I'm going to dive in with 6mil for Guillemain

by dammit_chris Mon 23 Jul - 13:13

just seen he's been signed by Stade Francais - might have to join this bidding war!

by Guest Mon 23 Jul - 15:14

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 23 Jul - 15:43

I'm out

Looks a cracking player, imagine he'll get plenty of gametime at Stade too.

by prop_lyd Mon 23 Jul - 15:46

I'll say 7.5

by Guest Mon 23 Jul - 19:17

Saints bid £3m for Mark Bennett (young Scottish centre - 18 years old)

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sat 28 Jul - 19:21

by dammit_chris Wed 1 Aug - 10:20

Is it ok to confirm my bid for Bennett? Been there since Friday.

by dammit_chris Fri 3 Aug - 11:51

Guys would anyone have an issue with me confirming the bid for Bennett? It's been up a week and no one else has bidded at all - I know that Pete is offline this week. Cheers.

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 3 Aug - 12:05

It's fine Chris

by dammit_chris Fri 3 Aug - 12:32

cheers mate!

by dammit_chris Mon 13 Aug - 18:54

bid £5.5m for Julien Bonnaire

by Driver Mon 13 Aug - 18:58

He's retired hasn't he/

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 13 Aug - 19:12

From Int I think, think he's doing another season

He's top int Chris, think you'll be looking at a bit more than that lol

by dammit_chris Mon 13 Aug - 19:15

He's not an international...

Also read a French article saying he still hasnt decided whether he will carry on again this year, so pretty much a gamble signing!

by Guest Mon 13 Aug - 19:55

He has retired from international and will play for clermont when needed. It's a calculated gamble. If he plays it will be for 1 season so price about right

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 13 Aug - 20:07

He's got a two year contract with Clermont apparently, still quality anyway

by dammit_chris Tue 14 Aug - 19:34

£7.5m - can't see him being worth any more than that as he has retired from international rugby and from what I've read will barely feature for Clermont, and he's 34!

by dammit_chris Thu 16 Aug - 15:27
