Thank you very much for the info!
I would like frederique michalak will come among us! because this is surely one of the best French number 10!
But his will that really domage courrent leaves toulouse.
And let me ask you: or did you find all this info?

 

[camelback]

Delasau has officialy signed up with Montauban.

And two more transfers in Clermont : Debaty from Agen, and Radoslavjevic.

 

[Stillknox]

Freddie Michalak is back to Toulouse. He signed a 3 years contract this morning. He will play along Skrela for the 10 jersey next year.

Good news, bad news: the very good and promising Valentin Courrent, 25 years old, able to play at scrum of fly half, will certainly go to Biarritz or Clermont.

 

[linl29]

Finally, the return of michalak!
I am sure he will return in strength and explosion in the top 14!
TOULOUSE GO!

Dan Carter for Toulon is official now, can't wait to see him in the pitch

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

A rumour from the Guardian:

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/05/...d_bulls_in.html
the outstanding Australian (rugby league) centre Mark Gasnier will be moving to Stade Francais[/b]

Make of that what you will but if true, it would represent an excellent signing.

Fallie Oelschig (Scrum half, Cheetahs) signed a 3 years contract with Stade Français. Jerome Fillol, SF's present scrum half is gone for Racing Metro 92. (Pro D2)

Does anyone from the South knows about this guy ? I heard he was captain for the under 21 South African Team, and was elected best scrum half of the Currie Cup last year with the Cheetas. Is he good ? Stade Français really need a new scrum half since the departure of Pichot. Could make an interesting duo with Hernandez at 10.

 

[Steve-o]

Oelschig is a good scrum half. He's your typical Saffa scrummie, small & stocky, nippy around the fringes, good kicking game (especially from the base of a ruck or scrum), excellent passing that has helped the best backs in the last few Currie Cup's fire consistently, and good defence.
Very solid club player, it's unfortunate he feels that his future lies overseas.

 

[Darhf]

And Kelleher just extended his contract with toulouse to 2011.

Caucau back at Agen, again!

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

that's if he's ever fit.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Chabal, Saint-André and McAlister are also linked with moves to France. No confirmation yet though but Toulon is the destination in question, and you'd expect McAlister to go back to NZ anyway.

 

[An Tarbh]

I'd heard that Chabal was going to Montpellier. Don't have a link though

Ive heared Chabal and Saint-Andre are on their way there!

 

[Sir Speedy]

Yep. I heard that Chabal will be joining PSA wherever he goes, so yeh.
Hopefully McAlister won't follow them, since he'd lose Heineken Cup game-time / a shot at winning the World Cup, all for a King's ransom.
I also hear Lobbe is being linked to a French club. Hope not!
