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

Gibson-Park?

by Guest Wed Jan 30, 2013 10:55 pm

That's him raw but has talent !

by dammit_chris Wed Jan 30, 2013 10:56 pm

I like the Montpelier one, he's quite small and does the kicking doesnt he? Only issue I have is that he might not be that well known.

Good call on the Argie no9 too.

I dont know whether to go for a no9 or no10. Lucky Joe Simpson is in good form at the moment, need Phillips to have a good 6Nations.

Montpelier are becoming probably my fav french team to watch!

Think I will go with a £6m bid for Bundee Aki

dammit_chris wrote:CJB, great bid with Foloa - was very tempted with him, think he could be a very good player. Only risk is how long he will stay in union. Great finisher!

Not got a huge bundle of cash, so worth a try. Could be great, could be terrible, who knows.

You like your Irish academy boys dont you Steve!

by Steven_Sharks Fri Feb 01, 2013 3:55 pm

Key is to bid on them when you are already involved somewhere else. You had Gilroy and Henderson after out bidding me and they have done alright!

by Guest Sat Feb 02, 2013 1:30 am

23 m fotuali

by dammit_chris Sat Feb 02, 2013 11:36 am

Sorry CJB, but I just saw Foloa's debut and going to take a punt on him £12m

by CJB Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:09 pm

24 hours passed between bids didn't they so Pete has to either reject/accept my bid right?

by Steven_Sharks Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:19 pm

Nah not the case CJB

by dammit_chris Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:52 pm

Sorry! I bought Foloa as one of my first signings in the game when it all started as he was meant to sign for a union team in 2010 but choose Aussie rules instead.

NEarly got him in the last window, but couldnt resist this time round - if you are after a wing though I could do Siviatu on the cheap?

by CJB Sat Feb 02, 2013 7:37 pm

No interest in Siviatu

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sun Feb 03, 2013 2:45 pm

25m Fotuali'i

by Guest Sun Feb 03, 2013 2:49 pm

Sorry about that but confirmed now though and still want to go ahead with it
