wana try a bit of negotiating?

PDJ, ojo, smith....

He's started more games at TH than LH this year for Crusaders.

its a slow day geez.
conrad smith!

alot more than Tonga!
I'll leave it!

Would consider a swap for Luke Fitzgerald.

I am also negotiating with Pete for him so won't confirm quite yet. If Pete does accept the offer then I would be inclined to deal on that rather than just Fitz so you could try and outbid him.

I am struggling to see a fair deal without making it bigger and not sure that would work for me. Any fringe/squad payers of mine your interested in as well so we could try and work something?

Iam still waiting.

I am open to letting Donnelly go but I suspect we may have different valuations of him. When I have seen him play I have seen enough to suggest he should be alongside Thorn in the WC so I rate him highly and it would take a Robshaw sort of player for me to add him to the deal.

Only willing to let him go as I rate Sharpe so highly and Sharpe has an added physical presence.

I'd need a full back of similar quality coming my way mate if I was to lose Morgan.

Fair enough mate, we're not all as lucky as I am

would need quality like SOB, robshaw, c.smith, read involved.

Throw in Alex Grey and I will deal on that

Just had an issue with my budget, had £30m taken off or so, which means that I am going to have to go back on the deal because I can't afford the players I needed to get to replace the players I was losing. Sorry to be a pain in the ass with that!

To me that is a lose on each account - Domingo because he is younger, Lualala because he fits in with my style of play, Attwood because he's English - and Kelleher because he's available all season.

Mullan for Barcella???

One is potential and English and one is French and always injured!!!

How many games did Barcella actually play for you last season?

Maybe it's frustration at not getting any deals done, it's driving me nuts!!!

lol! Me and luke are getting close, but just can't seem to clinch it!

Lets talk sensible deals for these 3 then...

Juan Smith
Tommy Bowe
Maxime Mermoz

Pooly all my team for Bowe and Smith

I don't have Jane any more mate, just sold him to Leicester.

Ok, lets thrash something out for Mermoz.

Have had second thoughts. I am going to keep hold of Houghard.

Sorry Man, completely forgot about the deal

36 and Mullan I am happy to talk about as part of a deal, but I am expecting big things from JD at the WC so am not selling him.

Couldn't do Jones for the Georgian, but would do

Jones, 36 and Mullan

for

PDJ and Mermoz

Fair enough mate

Sorry mate, I have 7 senior wingers, five of whom are internationals, so Ojo doesn't really improve me at all.

Robshaw.....

You might be right mate, think we both want the good end of the deal too much! lol

You will be trying to get Sheridan off Chris from now on mate.

I am holding onto Kellaher. As gooder 9 as I'll get who isn't a current international.

Should be playing in a good team at Bayonne next year. can't wait for next Top 14 to start. Turning into the ERL with all the big money signings.

Wiggles + Franks 4 FDP + Alexander

No Pooly , don't make me lamp you!

sorry no he's not for sale

Kubrashvilli + Medard + Wiggles 4 Fdp + Alexander + Van Der Heever/Phillips or someone else along them lines

Would have to be a really good deal mate, as Attwood is very much in demand and I don't really want to lose him - would be interested in Robshaw was involved (possibly). But a bigger deal could be good, but I have got a deal with Steven in the pipeline, so would have to be quick so I could cancel it if needed!

I rate Attwood and DOmingo a lot higher than Kruger and Barcella - I would need something involving Bowe if I were event to consider letting Attwood go. Espc as that deal sees me losing two English players.

rudey poo - just saw that Steven confirmed the deal I had with him - was actually meant to take that down last night as I dealt some other deals - at least I have Sheridan now though and Mike Phillips - neither best of form but they should come on strong next year!

You are getting a top 3 scrum halfs in the world!

Tbh thought you had enough english players around him and. It iimproves your half back combo which was mentioned.

He lost his place because he p'ssd off the O's management because he wanted to leave there and play in France - Kelleher was 34 and probably had one more season in him, so had to get rid and I think Phillips / Simpson will compliment each other during the season - got 3 very good no9's coming through the ranks too Charlie Davies, Sam Harrison and Stuart Commins - just need one of those to push through this season and things will be good!

Off to a wedding now - will come up with a deal when I'm back - although I do have my iphone....

What would you offer for Casson or harden. Casson is a strange one to price.

He is pure quality but still starting out. Most think he will be england centre for many a day. Very powerful. Would take equivalent youth or Decent Squad player. I signed him ages ago on the back of the u20s WC.

May, Saull and Wood not for sale. They are involved in my match day squad. May will be a super star which means he will probably not stay at glos in real life

I would not Yann Thomas for Skirving. Not a fan and spent so long trying to get rid of him when i had him.

I have owned so many of your players in the past. Bought Read, jauzion, Mermoz etc in to the game.

Got rid of mermoz for Guildford and another good player. it was a cracking deal. Mermoz has it all but never fit.

Makes Barcella look robust

J.Smith + Bowe?

Could maybe use Croft - he is arguably more valuable in this game though?

Croft + ?
for
Smith + ?

Johnstone/PDJ
Yachvill/Wigglesworth
F.Steyn/Waldouck
Tuilagi/Ojo

Any interest?

I think we only rate players differently when negoiating ;-)
Show me one person who desn't over-value their own players...

Juan Smith + Wigglesworth + Ojo

Croft + Youngs + Biggs

My problem is I lose Croft and Youngs, arguably England's two outstanding players, for Wiggles and Ojo, two fairtly average players miles away from the International scene.

Sorry mate, as much as you try to talk it up, it's losing Croft and Youngs in the same deal, without getting top quality EQ in return. It just won't happen.

One of the two maybe, but certainly not both.

Youngs + Barclay + Clerc + Amesbury
for
Wiggles + SOB + AAC + Ojo

Don't ask you don't get.

We're talking about Youngs here mate.

I'd consider it without Ojo/Amesbury.

Youngs + Barclay + Rougerie
for
Wiggles + SOB + JOC

Enq?

Similar to how I feel about Youngs.

You want him badly enough mate, you're going to to have to cough up a top deal.

Pretty much all you missing in your side...
