[QUOTE="Patchey, post: 677225, member: 61403"] I think Haskell signed a new contract when he was named captain? Not to say big money couldn't buy him out of it. Presumably he wants to stay in England until 2015 but realistically that only means for the remainder of this season. As Olly says, he's Wasps through and through but has played abroad before. Either the draw of his London based businesses or the sour taste left by watching the club he loves get f**ked for cash could drive him to leave IMO. Not sure if any other London clubs would need him, looking at their current back row strength. He has previously stated he'd like to go abroad again though. Varndell is out of contract and you'd say he's likely to move. Promoted side or France? Seems likely. Launchbury? He's gone IMO. Sarries are already hounding him and his contract is up. Maybe Quins can issue a grovelling apology for not giving him a full time contract? Daly? Young guy with England hopes doesn't want to be at a messed up club. Plenty of clubs would pay him good money. Same for Simpson, their are a few clubs I can think of who lack a really consistently first choice nine. Thats just off the top of my head. But I'm sure if I at down and had more of a think more names would appear. Either guys wont want to move from London/the South, would rather play at a club where their match days are at least vaguely near to their home/family base or, when faced with a move from London think they might as well move somewhere they can be paid more and have a better chance of winning trophies.
