Jackson, Vunipola and Chambers for Flutey

Hmmm

how about

Gaskell and Flutey

for

Jackson, Chambers, Vunipola and Banahan.

That's an enquiry. Nothing solid yet!

My offer for Flutey for Jackson, Chambers and Vunipola still stands then.

Not interested in losing Louw.

Could add Gareth Steenson to the deal if that interested you.

Keeping Carl as well I'm afraid.

Would do none of them in a deal for him.

Tom Mercy + Houghard for him?

Houghard is heading back to the bulls by all accounts

Make an offer for qera. He is available as I have tons of 7s

Arry is Claasens available for loan at all mate?

Hey Arry....

Are you interested in the new AP game? Steve has quit and Sale are available, it's just a reset version of this.

I know you're not on much lately so understand if not

What for slipper

Arry I always appear to be the one who brings you bad news about players in your squad - Will Chambers doesnt play Union anymore...

http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,3824_7441520,00.html

Anything for Wentzel, Johnson and Burger mate?

Any chance of a loan deal for Claassens over the 6N?

Would do qera for slipper

No idea how rObInson will come back from injury and qera in superb form

Arry - think I've got you next week in the Amlin. Probably will be giving a fair few youngsters a game as its at home, so expect a team with Henry Thomas, Ben Nutley, Charlie Davies/Sam Harrison in it!

Mate any chance of either Burgess or Claasens on loan for 6N?

Depending on the 6Nations teams I am expecting to play the following against you.

01. Matt Mullan	09. Joe Simpson
02. Rob Webber	10. Matt Giteau
03. Carl Hayman
04. Ali Williams	11. Siti Siviatu
05. Courtney Lawes (c)	12. Jean de Villiers
06. Dan Lydiate	13. Manu Tuilagi
07. Calum Clark	14. Elliot Daly
08. Liam Messam	15. Danny Cipriani (k)

16. Haywood 17. Domingo 18. Thomas 19. Launcbury 20. Qera 21. Harrison 22. Tomkins 23. Claasens

I'll give you £10 million for Faure and Blair

Faure is 35 and might retire at the end of the season and would be squad cover at best for me mate, so £10 million wouldn't be a good investment.

If you are after cash though I can do Alex Gray and £10 million for Tom Johnson.

I'd be in for TJ

I can do something loan wise with 3m Arry? Just pay it back when you have it and I'll take a player on loan or something

Just give me Faure on loan for 3m if you like, just pay the 3m back for a similar loan when you have a bit of cash.

Sorry mate really don't need another loosehead.

im interested in mike brown, ugo monye, tom johnson, jacques burger and marco wentzel

make an offer!

Mafi and Burger
for
Botha and ???

got 5m mate? What's the deal

£5m now for £8m back in the summer?

Or any players or swaps with cash?

Cool

Any movement on letting me have Classens?

Arry can I loan Jackson off you until the end of the season and I will wipe out the £3million you owe?

I could do Narraway for Johnson as a straight swap mate.

Just seen your comment about TJ having a big future mate , He's 30 in 2 months lol!

Best of luck Arry! Our games usually are close encounters!

As driver has pointed out Johnson is older than Narraway, and in terms of ability there is nothing between them. Sorry mate I can't add anything unless you are as well to make it a bigger deal.

'Arry Spurs wrote:30!? Crikey I was always under the impression he was really young, I'm so shocked by that!

I know! think it's because he only burst onto the scene last year. Thought i'd let you know before Pete does , that man never misses a trick , Except Matfield's retirement

Yeah, go on then mate, stick it on confirms.

not considering selling tuilagi ever mate - think he's class.

might consider Ashton at end of the season but not looking to do any deals now for him

Erm needs to be huge, ideas?

Not for Tuilagi mate, he's one of my favourite players.

Are you after more English atm then?

Robinson for qera accept

Sorry mate didn't see your response - Tuilagi is my favourite player so wouldn't want him to go anywhere - got him to partner fofana in midfield, which I think could become best midfield in the league!

Might have a few youngsters if you are interested?

Interested in Brown & Burgess

Cole NFS.

To land Croft I'd need top EQ involved and Roberts involved too mate.

Roberts, Burgess, Monye, Wade and Brown interest me but I'd need at least 2 in the deal depending on what it was

What for Monye & Brown mate?

Charlie Amesbury + Dan Hipkiss for Monye?

Hipkiss would give you that hard running OC to partner with Roberts/McAlister

Can't lose any of those, sorry mate
