Sorry mate, not for sale.

Ojo + Classens

Young + Fritz

Enq

You're a tough nut to crack! Don't think we'll ever nail a big deal mate!

I know who they are! Lol...thought it was a canny offer to suit both of us. Gives you an English starter where you lack quality English, that was my thinking anyway.

I'm mainly after Young, Ojo is available. Rate him higher than Young in a direct deal.

Ojo + ? (or another +)

Young + ? (or another +)

Make me an offer mate, will have to be pretty big!

So you're not interested in Ojo? I like Youngs and you like Ojo...both would help us out. I'm lost, you just keep lecturing me rather than dealing

Ok, to lose Ojo I'd need similar standard English back in a position I'm not too strong. I don't think you have that.

Haskell isn't for sale at all mate.

What for Rory Lamont?

Yeah I'd do that mate - would recommend taking Hobson and MvG out of your squad, Hobson doesnt play 1st for Bristol atm and MvG is playing for Lyon and will be 3rd choice out there!

$4m for Matt Everard?

Make an offer only wood not for sale

Szar for Bruno ?

Rock need more than tuilagi IMO.

Jenks for steenkamp will think. Don't rate jenks that highly but most do?

Will confirm hookers. The Jenkins deal I will think on. Steenkamp was best lh in world last year and I rate. Jenks can play both sides if needed

It's been emotional!! . I have very little time for constant negotiations I tend to offer what I think is fair and after that not generally interested. Think pete is the person I have dealt with most.

Pooly and I have generally similar ideas on players. I have owned most players he has bought in at some point.

Meant to be at Saxons game. Bought a ticket via groupon for 7 quid Friday. Weather and meaningless fixture has meant I have not gone.

It was on Gloucester groupon. I don't live near glos anymore so don't subscribe to it. Lots of
Mates do. Use living social and groupon some times for dates with wife also. Really good for buying spa days for her at swanky places.

I am in London often and the cost of living is daft. My satellite office is in ec1 next to smithfield market and buying a beer or anything is painful

Alright mate, out of my back rowers that I'd be willing to let go Fearns isn't one of them. I'd let Burger go if you're interested.

Not interested in Easter mate. Not that keen on letting Skivs go but feel free to make an offer.

Burger and Mitchell are available mate. Players of yours I am interested in are Cencus Johnston, Thomas Waldrom, Ernst Joubert, Micky Young, Alesana Tuilagi and James Horwill.

Not interested in Dermody or Amesbury mate.

Fair enough mate. Come back if you feel like negociating.

I just don't want to suggest something that you think is ridiculous.

Mitchell and Blair for Tuilagi, Young and Joubert.

Haha I suppose.

Fair enough mate they are two very handy players to have during the WC.

What for Tuilagi on his own?

Out of that list the players I'd be more inclined to let go are:

Robinson
Van Der Linde
Freshwater
Burger
Barnes
May

Not really interested in Fritz or Molenaar mate.

Alright Luke mate Mickey Young would interest me

what for ben franks

What for Waldrom?

What you looking for Fritz fella

Maitland NFS...no probs fella

What for Fritz Luka. i am interested

Tough to find someone of mine available during the WC. have a look and suggest.

Waiting on Driver to decide about Roan.
Will let you know then mate 7mil is very temptng

Ojo/Fritz WC loan?

Yea sounds good mate

Tom Donnelly + 10 mil

for

James Horwill

Could I add something to the deal? There is always a need for 10 million haha

Donnelly + Bonnaire + 10 mil

for

Horwill and Tuilagi?

Luke

Could you do me a massive favour and do this weeks thread for me? Struggling for time at the moment

any of your backrow available? Also Hobson has rejoined Bristol and is very, very bad after his injury - if you struggle with squad numbers then I'd get rid of him...

What for Pocock?

Cooper isn't for sale at any price

The Joys of 24 hour leagues. Put in a few cheeky offers when people are on the drink on friday and saturday night and convince em to confirm the same night ahaha

Tuilagi + a back rower mate

I'll think about it mate, will have an answer for you by tonight.

anything for BOD?

I've thought about it mate and I'm not really gaining anything so no deal.

Not sure if any of these are of interest but I am looking to trim my squad a little bit before the new season.

Really interested in Pocock, is there any chance I could get him off you. Willing to go big.

Fair enough. What for Waldrom, Crane and Lund?

I rate Johnson and Haskell higher mate so I'll leave that one. You still interested in Drew Mitchell?
