You're right DA, and with Bruce pushing the Marquee thing so hard, it just doesn't add up, unless they have something spectacular up their sleeves!
Regarding your numbers 3 & 4, I'm not convinced these are the areas we need to improve this season. If we can get Morgan then as I have said on other threads, it would be great to get him, but him specifically and not just any old number 8... though Parisse would do nicely if he were surplus to requirements at Stade
Claas is no spring chicken but is playing well, and Cook is far from the finished article but will learn from Claas over the next few seasons, and will hopefully be ready at the point where Claas decides to call it a day. The age gap between them is near perfect!
Having said that, I cannot see where they are going to spend big (I know where I would spend big if it were my money, but cannot identify what I think the club will do, as I don't think we have THAT much chance of signing Brian O'Driscoll, James Hook, Vincent Clerc or Maxime Medard!)
