Transfer Rumours Thread 2013/2014 Season

[RagingBull]

Dave Ewers to stay at Exeter just signed a deal.

[voice of the crumbie]

Toulon have gone one step further.... they have offered our Andy..
1-Real money ----into a bank account of his choice..
2-Free food at any of their 41 Michelin Star restaurants
3-His own personal hair stylist to brush his hair right to left just before he kicks...
Its a no brainer....

Like it
Re number 2 do they serve Pukka Pies? Could be the deal clincher!

[fortysix]

Ah, oui, a ''Le Bistrot des Remparts'' on offre...'' Le Goode Pukka Pie'',... le prix 10 Euros........

Do we think that there could be the scenario where Toby Flood signs a contract with us but we still also sign Freddie Burns? Cockers has said that he will be speaking to players on 1st January, so if Burns really wants to join us and signs in the 1st week or so in January before Toby decides his future, we may have both.

I highly doubt we could afford 2 England fly halves plus if Burns signed in the first week Flood would deffo go as its impossible for a player to get into the EPS whilst sharing a shirt with another player

[Downbathway]

A little whisper down here that Dan Bowden will be the next player to swop Leicester for Bath?. Worked with Booth and Hatley at London Irish of course.

Came from a normally reliable source.

But, obviously, might be total rubbish?.

Wouldn't be surprised - would give you a ball playing 12 option - especially if Kyle is indeed as unhappy as has been suggested.

It would also be the second 12 to quit Tigers after being second fiddle to AA and fourth fiddle at 10 as well. The previous quitter IMO was the far greater loss
Of course if AA doesn't recover from his compartment problem.......

[MrPartridge]

Out of interest, who do Tigers fans think - we let slip… i.e who is the player who left Tigers and then went onto greatness elsewhere? I can't think of too many which is a gold star for our coaching and management team.

[RagingBull]

Always wished Henry Tuilagi had stayed but I wouldn't of had him above Corry, added real impact of the bench.

TBh can't think of any Shane Jennings + Leo Cullen, but they were always going to go back to Ireland.

Very recentish Dupuy, Kayser and Varndell.

Not many at all.

36 is a time will tell type of situation.

[tigercaspian]

Was it me or did I hear Ieuan Evans (ex of Llanelli) mention Rhys Priestland's (currently Scarlets who are based in.........Llanelli) name as a potential Tigers recruit before the season is out ?
Would have thought there is a reasonable chance Evans should know.....and Priestland's contract is up in May.

Anyone else seen the Beattie rumour on the FB Rugby Banter page ? Could be rubbish but it's coupled with Hibbard moving to Glos.

"Beattie close to agreeing a move to a Tigers"

[sapajo]

Saints have today announced that American forward Cam Dolan is joining the club, while Russian winger Vasily Artemyev is leaving Franklin's Gardens

Beattie would be a superb signing but would seem to confirm the departure of TTT. That would be a disappointment as I am a great fan of him
