if I was after a May replacement I would suggest offering Radwan at least twice the money he is on at falcons.

Interesting perhaps ; not enough to go backwards (imho).
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....

I'd take Malouf as a replacement for Thompstone, if Thompstone is leaving this summer?

TV is invaluable to us: look at the improvement in our back play, defence and kick chase when he plays.
I think we should do everything possible to keep Johnny May as, not only is he a great bloke but World Class finisher who will help players like Olowofela to keep on improving!
As Sam Harrison has now left there must be some room in next season’s salary cap to improve Johnny May’s salary. Sarries are apparently interested in him but, as the BBC has reported today, they have to adjust their squad and salaries.
Jonah Holmes must also be kept.

Radwan in my opinion is a better talent that Kibirige (also an exciting player of course) and the latter is doing well at Wasps now he's getting chances.

I'd be interested in Dean Adamson at Bedford as well. His try scoring record in the Championship is fantastic. Holmes has been an excellent signing made largely on the same basis.

Believe that Sam was only contracted for a half season so there is nothing freed up for this season or any significant amount for next season.

Daily Mail had Williams on £230000 for Sarries. Can't imagine May would be able to attract much more than that, if anything Williams is the more complete player.

May is the better winger and will finish more try scoring opportunities. He's a bit of a luxury player but one you'd want when competing for trophies.

Seems on the low side to me. Sure I read he was off back to wales on a £500k contract, so who knows what to believe

It's not that controversial an opinion, I'd still take May myself but there's no arguing Williams is a class player. He's custom built for the modern territory kicking game.

I think what’s meant is that Williams can play test rugby at either fullback or on the wing, whereas May is really an out and out winger.
Maybe all round player would be a better choice of words

If it comes down to only being able to keep either Ben Youngs or Jonny May who would you choose?

May. 30 tries in 44 games is absolutely invaluable.
Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.
Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.
