I want Marty really mate.

No

McAlister + F Steyn + Rokocoko
=
Poitrenaud + Guildford + £5 mil

-----

Won't add anything else - as I've said before you're getting a top player for £5 mil.

What for Davies?

Wouldn't lose three decent players for two that are rated under them. Seriously interested in Davies and Marty, so one or the other likely mate.

M Steyn + Mortlock/Maps + Earls + Cueto
=
Slade + Marty + Poit + Clerc

Enq

No

M Steyn + Mortlock/Maps + Cueto
=
Slade + Marty + Clerc

Enq

Because it'd help me

Alright how about;

M Steyn + Chisholm + Cueto
=
Slade + Davies + Clerc

No

You're frustrating.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would play Vito or AJ at 7, both play both sides perfectly. If you want to keep Warbs, then how about this?

Elsom + Heymans
4
Vito + Guildford

Im not happy and/or willing to lose Rocky, Oz captain and as you said one of the best BS in the world and was reluctant, but thought it might be worth a risk to get guildford in.

Vito isn't even in the WC training squad, so how on earth you rate him that highly, i don't know! Thomson and Messam streets ahead. Vito is the 4th best BS in NZ, Rocky is 4th in the WORLD

I wasn't convinced with the original deal as thought Vito would be seen as a weakness in my side.

You just ask for way too much mate.

I just think Rougerie holds more ratings than Marty, so no reason to lose him.

Enq

Guildford + Vito + Poitrenaud
=
Steyn + Wood + McAlister + Roko

Could make it:

Guildford + Vito + Deacon
=
Steyn + Wood + McAlister + Roko

If you preferred.

Why would you play Vito at 7 when you have Warburton?

Yeah I do like him. I like him and Pat McCabe as well. But in your side, Maps is still the man is the centres, I like him alot.

This deal still on the cards?

Elsom + Heymans
4
Vito + Guildford

Im just waiting, have asked a mate what he thinks.....need a second opinion, its going to be so so close for 4th spot!

Ok, well as you know Guildford is my only target and im reluctant to lose a world beater for him, so certainly wouldn't be doing it for anyone else, so its that deal or nothing. Its a very fair deal, whereas the other two you just proposed are not and have no gains for me.

Thats fine, but you know i want guildford and no one else, so we can do the one your 80% on or something like

Maitland + Heymans + ?
4
Clerc + Guildford + ?

any deal has to include guildford or i dont get a gain

Guildford + Vito + Deacon
=
Steyn + Wood + A lock + Roko

and I'll get a lock from foreigns?

Elsom + Heymans
4
Vito + Guildford

This going to happen then or not? Need to know, because Pull wants Rocky as well

^^^^^^^^^^^^

made up your mind yet?

Why did you get Fainga'a?

Marty for Mortlock? Aussie midfield?

What for Guilford?

Tindall for Marty?

No gain there....rate Medard higher than Guildford and Vermeulen doesn't usually bench for me.

Ranger +

Guildford +

Anything sensible...rate Guildford just above Ranger so would need to be similar

Lol...yea you do rate him highly. For somebody with 2 Int tries to him name I can't let a world class player go.

Yea I see where you're coming from and they're good players. Just don't think I can lose a WC player to slightly improve at wing.

Jauzion/Dus wouldn't leave for Guildford mate, sorry. I could maybe do Kubriasvili in something to give you a serious scrummaging unit with Barcella, would give you one of the strongest front rows in the game.

Again good players but Smith and Parra are world class....don't think we're going anywhere fella

They are good but I'm not in the habit of losing WC players for none in return, you know me by now Blogs. Just not a deal there with those players and similar players like Bakkies, Smith, Read etc

Tinds for Marty?

Guildford Vito
4
Heymans Elsom

---------------





Yay or nay?

I don't know how you haven't bitten Bathite's hands off! Elsom is a world class player, which you don't have one of!

And nice little French back three combo too.

^^



Yeah, you know what, been waiting for you to make up your mind for too long now, so i'll withdraw the offer. Rocky will be playing his way back into form from here on in and Guildford isn't even guaranteed a WC spot, due to ridicolous squad depth and Smith and Toeava challenging him, who i already have!

You have had nearly three days to accept, i did try and get you to hurry up, I have now changed my mind, so its your loss.

I'm not that stupid mate, you been on loads in between! You weren't sure, then Pull commented and then you decided you wanted to do it.

Not willing to lose Horwill or Castro for someone I'd transfer on again mate.

Sivi >> Clerc

Clerc, Guildford, TPN, Vito, McCalman, Slade, Marty. All the players I'm interested in.

Never in a million years.

Guildford for Bowe?

Not interested in that deal.

If you are happy to do Bowe and Guildford straight swap then you can confirm it
