Looks like Steve and I have found the source of the tale...

Matt Carraro was in Montpellier finalising a contract offer today. Shame, one of my favourite Bath backs. Greatly under-rated.

@BlokeInBath but he only signed a new deal 12 months ago... Could have sworn it was for more than 1 year...?
24m Malcolm Cupis@BlokeInBath
@StuartMMoss 1year plus option.

@BlokeInBath not according to here [
news.bbc.co.uk] says staying until end of 2012-13 season... Hope you are wrong this time! :-)

@StuartMMoss Sad to say he spent the day with Montpellier today.

@BlokeInBath seems odd esp with contract & lack of other gossip from French sites... You have proof? Not fighting, just asking! :-)
Malcolm Cupis@BlokeInBath
@StuartMMoss I have a spy...in Montpellier.
Stuart Moss@StuartMMoss
@BlokeInBath that old chestnut... :-) Hmmm believe it when I see it! As I said, not fighting, just doubting! :-)
Malcolm Cupis@BlokeInBath
@StuartMMoss Being a little more specific, this spy is in the club, not just the city. They made him an offer a month ago.
Read into that what you want...not sure how accurate or reliable this 'spy' is??
