I'd have only let Kruger go if Horwill was involved mate, top Int lineout locks are hard to come by.

Priestland 4 Skreal + £8m

We seems to be miles off on Deacon tbh though cos I need an EQ player back

Losing two EQs not an option mate sorry.

What for Nick Phipps?

Didn't see that fella.

Mullen is NFS until Lahiff kicks on.

Would do Narraway for Bowden?

Id do Crane for Bowden.

I'll add to that offer if it sweatens the deal

I might be in for Bowden if selling

Then I'm losing 2 quality EQ for one. Not happening unless the second isn't one of my elite eq

Croft + Hargreaves + Nacewa + Crane
for
Mafi + Wentzel + Brown + Bowden

Just floating this, thinking out loud really....

Guildford for pisi?

Don't know if this would interest you, but with you having 2 foreigns, I'd give you 24 mil for Mike Brown

Fluxy, i have these players available...

Sale on at London Welsh...

Werner Kruger
Rob Simmons
Butch James
Gavin Henson
Andrew Trimble
Luke Fitzgerald
Matt Smith
Can all go, not looking for the world for them.

Kevin McLaughlin
Francois Hougaard
Tom Homer
Can go , but would need a decent deal.


I am interested in Barritt, Varndell, Ojo and Brown. Let me know if you see anything.

How much would you want for Zebo?

Hougaard and Trimble for Brown?

Got a bid in on foregin's at the moment so will have to see.....anyone interest you in a swap? Back row not for sale.

What about Homer and Hougaard for Brown?

Gives you an EQ fullback replacement and a top international 9.

Ok, can we get Barritt involved somewhere?

How about

Croft + Hargreaves + 36 + Crane
for
Mafi + Botha + Phipps + Bowden

Was looking at a way to get Wentzel primarily, and Brown also, to be honest mate.

How much cash for Rhodri Jones

Mate that's 3 EQ players for none!

Ok to recall Williams fella?

You can keep Morris for season, good EQ bench option

Massively interested in Barritt, Wentzel and Varndell mate, talk to me, must be something we can do there.

???

Sorry mate, hadn't seen that. Corbs is one of my untouchables mate.

Anything for Wentzel or Varndell?

Preistland for Skrela + £9m

Any combination of 3 of these...

Werner Kruger - £4 million
Butch James - £4 million
Matt Smith - £4 million
Luke Fitzgerald - £4 million
Andrew Trimble - £8 million


... for any 1 of ...

Benn Robinson
Marco Wentzel
George Pisi
Tom Varndell

???

Would you do Mitchell Tamiau for John Barclay? I need to make space and I have too many 7's.

He'll give your backrow a bit of Int quality.

Anyone for cash? As you have 2 transfer it means you can outbid anyone else for the first one and then sign a second quality player.

For £14m or so? either straight cash or p/ex

Who could it be. But erm Preistland in a p/ex with Skrela?

Rhodri Jones? Engelbrecht?

Depends who comes in price range or who you see in a p/ex

I'd prob release CJ Van der Linde mate, been poor for a while now.

I'd sign Forrestier(sp???) the French LH, was immense in AI and keeping Domingo/Barcella/Poux out of team.

Narraway for Bowden?

Narraway is EQ though , plus plays all across back row and lock now.

Could lose James without needing a FH in return bud.

James for Mafi?

It's a decent offer but doesn't work for my squad. Not keen on losing 36, and not looking at either Barritt or Botha.

Keen on Mafi, can use Hargreaves and James if you are interested.

Waldrom couldn't go unless for an improvement at 8.

Crane + James
For
Mafi + Varndell/Ojo?

Make it 4m and its a deal. Stick on confirms if happy

going to keep him I think mate as I don't think i will need to reduce squad numbers.

You happy with 4m??

Your still asking me to lose out heavily on EQ which I just can't do. I could lose James, Crane, Hargreaves etc in a bid to get Mafi.

Not perfect but these negotiations have gone on too long!

Stick it on confirms mate.

Just to make sure you're aware James is injured till AW Cup game.

Give you 4 mil for Mitchell Tamiau

Hi Fluxy what for pisi?

Got cash mate. Engelbrecht? Priestland?

Can do a p/ex?

Oliver + £3m for JJ

Not the only one mate. Not a terrible player but just annoys me.

Laulala and £3m for JJ

Stuck it on confirms.

Need any more cash?
