Transfers rumours

[TheSaffycen]

Then he will most likely go to France. He said money was the only reason he went too us as he wanted to help his family.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Toulon have apparently signed Matt Stevens.

LOL are they now just buying players for the hell of it.

 

[gaston le gaff]

probably not LOL,!!!!! its just so they can keep the Champions Cup in France, you know!!! the one that you guys cannot win anymore.... "Boooum Boooum" said Roland!!!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

It's not really something to be proud of, is it?
I mean the majority of the players and some of the backroom are foreign - not exactly a great victory for les bleus

 

[gaston le gaff]

nothing to do with les Bleus, the last time i looked all the most recent winners were French Clubs irrespective who players for them!!!!!!!!!!!! and at the end of the day it was just a bit of fun winding you guys up and looks like it worked for TRF OLYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Who's wound up?
I was just pointing out that the SH Barbarians are European champions, and it's not something anyone should be proud of.

Would have thought a team like Toulon would have gone out and got a better tighthead than either of them to be honest.

 

[gaston le gaff]

Whats the Ba Ba's got to do with it Southern or Northern!!!!!!!!!!!Tigs started the thread about Toulon and Stevens and i thought the European Champions for the last 3 years were Toulon how silly of me thinking that!!!!!!! so will we be having white line fever in France if Stevens comes???????

 

[chippieolamus]

Don't be stupid!!!!!!! Toulon are clearly French!!!!!!! You're just jealous because Leicter aren't French!!!!!! Therefore they'll never win anything!!!!!!! If Leicester want to win the EC they should add more FRENCH players!!!!!!!

 

[gaston le gaff]

they have or had one so at least thats a start, clearly Chippieolamus is having a bad hair day!!!!!!!!

Your clubs full of homegrown talented youngsters should be running rings around those SH has-beens. They're only here to top up their pension.
Still can't beat them though... Shall we get them over here post-retirement. would that help.

No, that's the point I was making.
Embarrassing for all of Europe that a bunch of mercenaries won the cup.

 

[Tony Manx]

Same old same old!

Manu Tuilagi ----> Toulouse

French clubs apparently lining up to make audacious contract offers for him following his omission from EPS.....

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

But of a non story ATM.

He is in contract and Leicester have said he isn't for sale.

Would be more of a story in jan onwards.

Gaston. You know I respect you but they've done it at a cost. The French team are a joke and been honest the Top 14 is only being enhanced by the foreign imports. In fact the only thing French about the whole thing is the soil its played on.
For someone like me who was a fan of the old French teams it's sad to see no top French side spearheaded by French men.
