Heard a similar rumour on the weekend Actually. (Not sure to name the name as it hasn't been the most reliable source in the past and can lead me on way to much at times).joeybside wrote:Lose one Argentinan Winger, Gain another.

I hope the rumour about Maxime Mermoz is true, now he's a top quality player.

Thanks as always for your efforts RB
Is Matera still a 'realistic rumour'? Be great if it was but I thought he'd signed to stay in Argentina for 3 years.

Not so sure on that we might be looking at Veainu long term @ 15 instead of Wing which would leave us with
JPP
Betham
Thompstone
Brady
as our main winger options with JPP/Betham covering 13 as well.
So maybe another experienced player might be handy.
and would still leave us space to devlop a couple of the youngsters.
Re: 2015/16 Squad/Contracts/Rumours and Transfers Thread Par
With Morris also returning, I think that is a very healthy stable of wingers, given that Tait (despite Glos rumours) can also fill in.
Hopefully we get to see something of Odogwu and the other youngsters! Odogwu did feature during pre-season, and has played regularly for the U20's so looks like an exciting prospect.

Regarding contracts I believe I saw in the Merc that Kitto, Catchpole and Roberts have resigned.
