Re: 2014/15 Rumours/Contracts/Signings part 2.
In what world do you think we are going to be able to afford Sonny Bill and Israel Dagg? It would of course be amazing. I'd be delighted. Bet then it would be amazing and I'd be delighted if I get home tonight to find a Bugatti Veyron on the drive and a team of servants looking after my every whim and a bag of enough cash to never work again.
It ain't happening.

You might have to eat your words. Yesterday the Merc reported that Gonzalo would be in next month and today they are reporting that Manu will back next month.doublecarpet wrote:As if Manu and Camacho would ever be fit at the same time ;)
Admittedly for Manu they have said this every month for about the last 3 months, so I'm not holding my breath.
