Sorry fella , Robshaw is my only EQ in the back row so he's NFS same with PDJ who should kick on at Quins.

you be interested in that?

barritt?

still interested in machenaud also

you have Hougaard, Thomas and Fotuali'i joining though, 3 scrummies not enough?!

ok no worries about barritt. also interested in Barclay??

If you do want another scrum half, Dwayne Peel could be available.

want to keep Rennie, Barclay I wanted as back up.

Fair enough.

Anything else I could add on Walker for Machenaud?

Wouldnt do much else, Walker is a great prospect and handy as can be kept in academy.

its a fair offer mate but Bast is definitely someone i want to keep and not really keen on letting Waldrom go as only just got him.

Like i said mate it was a fair offer but Bast is key to my backline and Machenaud would only be back up so not really worth it for me

Don't gain anything to starting line up and lose out on a lot. No thanks. Haskell isn't leaving

shall we try again for Machenaud?

Lambie and Bastereaud arent really for sale.

The other two I would be willing to negotiate with!

not really interested in Colby.

I'll have a think. Not sure if I want to lose both my best youngsters in a deal for Machenaud.

Difficult to replace as EQ and very solid at both 12 and 13.

Have anything in mind?

fair offer mate but centre is a position i am not looking to weaken so want to keep Godwin for now.

Anyone else?

I could be tempted by a FH - would take Brock back. But then there's EQ issues.

What baout:

Botha + James + Hougaard
for
Taof + Waldouck + Reddan

Potentially?

I'll have a think on that. potentially a go-er though.

Yeh not what I was looking at. Might be more sway when I've done a deal or two.

Wray and Medard for Tait and Poff

Really will depend upon when we can open up the foreign transfers window as got to make sure I get the replacements I want before I sell!

What scrummy you looking at letting go mate?

Nothing's changed mate. Got the next few days off so hoping to get some deals in place.

Not overly interested in Beech sorry. Only had him as a quick fix on loan! I'm looking at Grant, Cronin, Webber and possibly one of your scrum halves.

Shields + Lobbe highly unlikely to leave tbh, just worth putting in case I got a biggie. Would probably need to include a big EQ gain to me to make it worthwhile

Henry + Murray for Slipper + ?

Tbh unless it was really good elsewhere I'd want Brown.

Lobbe is top three number 8 in the world and Shields is young and possibly the next AB blindside flanker so it'd be difficult. No interest in Botha at all, even Barritt it doesn't help my EQ quota cos I already have 2 EQ in same position

Medard + Murray for Slipper

Fluxy, you will be Exeter Chiefs next season, are you able to knock up a page for them mate?

I will do before work mate. Can I take on Chiefs playerS?

The way that it has always worked before is that you can have any Chiefs players not currently at other clubs in the game. You will need to be within the squad limits though, but you will get the money for releasing players to accomadate them.

No worries, I will have a look. I already had an idea so won't take long

Cheers bud.

New Chiefs page.

Tom Donnelly and Maxime Medard
For
Bradley Davies and Camacho/Arscott/Whitten

Fotuali'i
For
Michalak/Reddan + Mitchell?

What if Pape was included? French captain, plays 5 for Stade, 4 for France?

Fotuali'i + Charteris
For
Michalak/Reddan + Mitchell + Pape?

Remember Mitchell and Habana signed for Toulon...

Parling I lose top EQ and Horwill is my captain and a good lions series puts him back to best around. The deal woud have to shift more in my favour.

Anyone else, or see something?

Greedy I know - but having a top SH and a top NH player really helps. M

Parling + ?
For
Brown + Kahn

What you saying?

Haha no way mate sorry. He's got all summer to get back.

Rhodri Jones? If not you see anything?

No interest in straight swap?

Jones and ? For Medard and Murray?

Which one? Kaino + lindsay?

Worth a drunken try! Need grant or cronin in too

Could put elliot/ore + lindsay for them

Don't fancy losing Shields for Jones, think he is the next AB 6

Just testing the waters, see if anyone was going to offer something big. Nah still wouldn't lose him

Anything else?

Mealamu and Murray and Medard for Slipper and Cronin and ?

Still think he is a quality player tbh. Well worth having, like him in my front row, offers grit and leadership.

Anything else

Can't really see anything. JD2 pretty much unsellable

How about straight cash for Medard as we don't seem to get anywhere

Think I lose out more there tbh. Slipper only gain I get. Would rather have Medard than Camacho and Rougerie than Cronin.

£11m

Released Donnelly. Need to be something more significant

Slipper, Camacho, Brown, Davies and Cronin
For
Murray, Medard, Miller, Horne and Hoeata
ENQ
I'd have to think about if that actually works for me

Kitch better than Varndell and got youth on him. Varndell would struggle behind my wingers.

Think we are getting further away. How about £9m for Medard

Or Camacho and Hougaard for FDP and Medard
