That makes sense... almost. Bloody cryptic clues!
I'm now starting to get bored/feel tiresome about the transfer window. I want it to be over with! (preferably with 2 or 3 great signings in the bag).

Whoever's fed the goat (Shaun Goater? Remember him...) I think is winding us up and taking the piss.
Mario Gomez? Absolutely no chance whatsoever.

Der Mann = Husband:shrug:
We're signing Steve Husband
mg:My preferred method is to use the poking undesirable people, weirdos and potential corpses stick.
I apply
shifty the aforementioned stick to various parts of the anatomy. If the subject jumps up and chases me, screaming "I'll teach you to poke me with a stick you damned impertinent fellow", I know (s)he is 100% alive. If the subject neither moves nor emits any sound, I assign to the 100% stiffo department. If the subject let's out some air, the eyes flicker a bit, etc., but continues to endure the treatment I assign him/her to the half-dead department :up:

Most of the ITK that was posted was quite clear, Vucinic not as close as some are saying, Adebayor even further away and Marin not looking likely either.
With the cryptic bits, it's more about letting people know something is going on without being able to say who it's about. We can either say nothing or hint at stuff which keeps people talking without risking any sources.
If people would prefer an "absolutely no cryptics" policy then that's cool with us but would also mean we'd sit on a lot of stuff that wouldn't see the light of day...?
I think the way we have it now is probably favourable to most people but happy to be corrected.

It's not Gomez. We must be looking at something wrong or just reading the wrong stuff.
There is no way Bayern would ever sell. However, I remember saying we should sign him last summer (don't remember if it was on this forum), when we could've got him for around 15M, and I was laughed at. Funny how things change.

Can be said for a lot of players we are linked with that we turn our noses up at and, in hindsight, look like fools.
Falcao & Cavani come to mind especially.
Realistically, there are probably 50 strikers throughout Europe that would be an upgrade on what we have. We will sign 1 or two of these without doubt, but the longer the window goes on the further fown that list we have to go.
Lets just go get who we want know. Pay an extra few million now, save 10's of millions in years to come.

Personally, I'd get by quite happily with no cryptic ITK.
They achieve nothing, because ultimately someone, somewhere will solve the clue, so the actual ITK may as well been posted in the first place.
All we end up with is 45 pages of half baked answers and a load of spamming.
Get rid is what I say.
