Midi Olympique reporting that Picamoles has signed for Northampton for 16/17 season due to an 'exorbitant' offer....

Great signing for them boy do they need it look so under powered this year without Manoa...will be good to see him in the prem even if it is with Saints much prefer that than Bath as Saints pack isn't much to be feared at present..

How much do we reckon £400-500k or even more for the big Frenchman??

Picamoles a world class 8 (Not many looking to move in the next seasons)

Read and Kaino will both stay in NZ for Lions
Thor is off to Toulon
faletau is a tricky situation due to Wales

Toulouse would be very keen to keep him.

Reckon saints will be spending 500K + IMO.

Confirmed he has signed for Saints for 3 years next season..

Says its above all a lifestyle choice.. :smt017 He has been to Northampton before you think? Or does he mean the lifestyle of his HUGE wage :smt003

He won't look right in Saints colours..still glad Bath didn't get him though

Fissler reporting it is in excess of £450,000k and he was only offered 400,000 Euros by Toulouse to stay...

Oct 28th Crowson is asked if there's any update on Manu's signing and he says "done and dusted weeks ago"

he then goes on to say "i have heard it is done. But no word yet from the club so maybe still ironing out small print"
