I've gone through the signings and departures thread and compiled the following summary of confirmed (I hope) signings and retentions for 2010. I haven't bothered with players released - their agents can do the work of letting their availability be known! I've now totalled the number in each sqaud next to the club.
Please note any inaccuracies and I'll amend accordingly

Can I talk you through my 3 wickets yesterday?
8-1-30-3. Last over was a bit of a nightmare mainly involving boundaries - one over too many, always the way eh? Swinging, dipping, drifting - everything apart from turn really. My thanks to the pitch for its sympathetic reaction to some average bowling.........Edited by Bill Sley - 19 Jul 2010 at 06:03 |

Bedford train Monday,Tuesday and Thursday evenings, if players can afford not to work they can also train during the day. I can assure you that at least 18 of that squad have other jobs. It does look a very impressive team that Mike has put together, Bluesman seems to think that that's the final squad, i think that there is one more signing to come. the forwards look much stronger than last season. I can see the blues challenging for second spot, Roll on August 13th

It does say on the Blues website
"This currently gives the Blues a squad line up ..."
So that would seem to suggest it is not quite finalised yet.

El Cetransa El Salvador confirmó la incorporación del zaguero inglés Ian Davey, jugador de 23 años que recala en la entidad vallisoletana procedente del Bedford Blues RC. Según informó el club a través de una nota de prensa, Davey, que mide 185 centímetros y pesa 90 kilogramos, se caracteriza por "su velocidad y potencia gracias a sus condiciones físicas". "Es un jugador de grandes recursos ofensivos tanto con el pie como con las manos, posee una gran lectura del juego y al contraataque se convierte en un arma letal", según el comunicado. Davey pasó al primer equipo de los Bath con tan solo 19 años tras haber sido el máximo anotador de ensayos del conjunto durante dos años e internacional por Inglaterra sub 16 y sub 18. "Me atrae mucho la idea de jugar en otro país y tratar de aportar mi granito de arena al crecimiento del rugby español", apunta el jugador Durante los siguientes tres años jugó en la Guiness Premiership, aunque no contó con demasiadas oportunidades debido a su juventud, por lo que, con 21 años, fue en busca de minutos a Bedford Blues RC, equipo de la Championship inglesa, con el que sumó 24 ensayos en 39 partidos. Davey, según el club, ha dejado claro cuáles han sido los motivos que le han hecho apostar por el Cetransa y por jugar en España. "Me atrae mucho la idea de jugar en otro país y tratar de aportar mi granito de arena al crecimiento del rugby español. Sé que se está construyendo un gran equipo con buenos jugadores para competir en Europa y esto me llama mucho la atención. Llego con humildad y con mucha ambición deportiva", apuntó. El zaguero inglés, que también puede jugar de ala y de centro, es la sexta incorporación del conjunto vallisoletano para la próxima temporada tras las contrataciones de Pablo Feijoo, Gastón Graco, Jaime Nava, Esera Lauina y Juan Manuel Murré. |

In English (thanks to Google translator, adjusted by me):
CETRANSA El Salvador confirmed the recruitment of English full-back Ian Davey, 23-year-old joins the Valladolid team from Bedford Blues RC. According to the club through a press release, Davey, who is 185 centimeters and weighs 90 kilograms, is characterized by "speed and power thanks to his physical condition." "He is a great resource offensive player with both feet and hands, has a great reading of the game and the counter becomes a lethal weapon," the statement said. Davey made the first team at Bath at only 19 after being the leading scorer of tries for two years and internationally for England at Under 16 and Under 18. "I was very attracted to the idea of playing in another country and will try to contribute my bit to the growth of Spanish rugby," said the player Over the next three years he played in the Guinness Premiership, but did not have too many opportunities because of his youth, so that, at 21, went in search of game time at RC Bedford Blues, English Championship team, for whom he scored 24 tries in 39 games. Davey, according to the club, has made clear what were the reasons that made him bet on CETRANSA and play in Spain. "I was very attracted to the idea of playing in another country and try to contribute my bit to the growth of Spanish rugby. I know it is building a great team with good players to compete in Europe and this caught my attention. I come with humility and with great sporting ambition, "he said. The English full-back, who can also play wing and center, is the sixth addition of Valladolid set for next season following the signings of Pablo Feijoo, Gastón Graco, Jaime Nava, Juan Manuel Esera Lauina and Murr. |

I thought I'd give this thread a bump now clubs have finished recruiting. I've edited my version of the squad to include latest signings Edd Thower and the Dual-Reg of Alex Brown. Also made a couple of positional changes.

Ashley Giles and son have been spotted up at Moseley a few times - just that Giles Jnr is only about 9 and was in a Minis tournament.
A few years before, Gladstone Small's lad was staring as a quick winger in the minis festival - must be almost Colts age by now. Edited by Bill Sley - 02 Sep 2010 at 10:11 |

would just like to add that Peterborough rugby (play there rugby from National 3 mids) prop Nico Steenkamp has made the move to Rotherham and played 66mins against Bristol, so seems to be handling himself at that level. Good luck to him

Nico has done ok so far, need to see more of him but a very aggressive prop. Only problem is that the other prop is 6'5"!
