Tactics

That's the hooker I'm going for nah it's just my way of an expletive!!

I'm happy to see how our bidding war goes if it happens and then look at a deal getting me Whitehead as compensation if not!!

Can't let Tips (man love) or Fraser( eq) go unless I got something big back my way

Are you still looking for a 7? Can we do something to bring Fearns back to the chiefs?

Possibly, obviously see Robshaw as a bit higher in rating. Who else could you offer?

Waller, Ric, Falateu, Steyn, Burrell, Davies interest me

Think I'm giving away quite a bit so would need a gain back

Whitelock best in world in his position. Think you'd struggle to make that argument for Falateu

I don't really want to sell the best 10 in the world and the best impact sub ever.

What for Fearns, Burrell and Henry?

Afeaki maybe?

No longer have Robshaw buddy...

thought you may have been more keen to let Burrell go for rather than your other 12's!

Still interested in Afeaki though, or has that shipped sailed?

Barclay + Taulava/S Jones
=
Henry + Fearns

?

They are both EQ?

No worries buddy.

If you see anything for Fearns then let me know

Fearns? 

How much you thinking mate?

I was thinking around the £15m mark. As market price would be roughly £20 or over.

Cronin + ?
=
Henry + Fearns

aha, know me too well!

Fearns wouldn't exactly start for me however. And I don;t think he warrants Webber or Parling at the mo

only letting fraser go if i get good eq back. garvey nfs

Only one I would realistically let go is Donnacha Ryan mate who you got available for him?

Can't see anything feasible for those guys mate.

Two of my most in-form players...

JD2?

Domingo and Manoa def not for sale - possibly Madigan, but I paid huge for him and I;ve just got to work out what fly half I am going to lose as it is between him and Priestland.

Let me work out where I need to strengthen and will get back to you!

I wouldn't lose wc without getting it back...

FDP and Hogg aren't leaving

Pennell and Ben T
For
Waller, Fitzgerald and Tompkins

No interest in that mate, would take a big offer to lose Big T

Would need to be a decent offer as I'm not sure the players I'd replace would suffice. 

Interested in Faletau and Fearns

Interested in Waller, Guest, Lahiff, Henry, JD2, Lowe, Burrell and in your academy- Hankin, Tompkins and Earle

Earle is nowhere near as established as Barrow. Could see Barrow go though, not as a straight trade!

Ward I want to hold onto, Beast can go but needs to be a big offer, AWJ won't go, Denton can go for right offer, Rennie too, and Armitage, but Le Roux is NFS

Guest and Tompkins and either cash or Lowe for Barrow and Denton?

Denton's an INT though and in decent nick considering the mediocrity around him in real life!

I'll deal on that though. I think Guest will resurge at Irish

Can't do that extra bit, mate, maybe if Lahiff's potential was more secured or Lowe's injury status for next season was fully known, but too much risk for me, sorry

We always struggle dealing on potential. Would want EQ back in a position I don't have any, so from you would be Burrell.

Thought we might struggle mate, I can't see anything else.

Charteris and Crane for Fearns and ?

I'd be interested in Thompstone.......would you take cash?

I think I may have run out of Englishmen for my match day squad!

Lancaster surely must include him, how you can't have a replacement no10 on the bench is crazy. He played v well at the weekend too.

Just wish Youngs started showing a bit more form for Tigers as we need him back playing well too.

JD in a deal?

Romano one of the biggies. Would need Toby/JD/EQ in a deal

Fearns , Burrell and Davies.

I'd want burrell in a deal with Fearns.

i could throw some EQ your way in any deal

Would do it if it was Brussouw instead of McCaw

I'v decided to retain McCaw.

All those players mentioned will be promoted into my squad. Will probably get rid of players such as Connor Murray, Ferris, Palmer etc

Faletau for Murray

Much rather heaslip than faletau so that does not work for me. Any deal would be for end of season so would give you chance to get an 8 in

No worries understand what you mean. Murray best 9 in Europe currently so will need similar.

Will leave it then

Fearns?

Healy needs Falateu/JD
Miller needs similar EQ
Gill can't see similar that I'd want

Would be needing quite a gain elsewhere tbh, don't think Thompstone is of similar quality

Not overly keen to sell him right now. By the end of 2014 for me he'll be one of the best wingers around.

Ben Alexander and Martin Castrogiovanni for JDP?
