Poch's new Rickie Lambert type perhaps? Wouldn't be totally opposed to him but bit underwhelming I agree.

Little cabbage = Mitrovic (Brussels)
Big cabbage = Llorente (Turin)
Sorry if this has been suggested before.

I've never heard of her before, thank you.
It's essentially been all but confirmed that the cabbages were Kramer and Son.

Not to mention JJ mentioned Kramer was looking unlikely in the Q&A session then the Goat bleated out one of the cabbages were looking unlikely.
I agree. Also for a man that scores a fair few I still think he snatches at a lot of chances.

I could see the merits in Austin, although I hope it's one quite far down the list. Basically taking up the Soldado role, i.e. coming on when the other team is holding on for a draw. Used to hate it when we did it with Robbie because he contributed little, was far from clinical and it usually meant moving Kane away from goal. At least in this scenario Austin would make a nuisance of himself and he seems a decent poacher. Plus doubt he needs stellar service coming from QPR!
Build up play is an interesting one, it could be said Ade got too involved, and Soldado whilst having some nice touches just isn't working. Plus we have early crossing from Trippier now so having a constant presence in the box may be a good thing.
Another point is that by taking a safe option here we can bring in an N'jie or Werner and not have to rush them in or put too much pressure on them, hoping that they have pushed Austin down the pecking order by the end of the season. We can then sell him easily to a Newcastle or West Ham next season if required.
I'd prefer the Llorente option to play his role but tbf Austin would probably notch more goals.
Don't agree with the Bent comparison btw, his game was all about counter attack whereas Austin scored a variety of goals including many in a packed box (set pieces, etc...).

There is absolutely zero chance of Austin being interested in coming here to sit on the bench, he is at the peak of his career, has become an England regular, he would reject us in a heartbeat

I think I 100% know what the cabbages are.
We've had hints that the cabbages refer to brussel sprouts.
Brussel refers to Brussels which is in Belgium. Also refers to Anderlecht which is in Brussels, Belgium
We have had multiple ITKs on a Belgium 21 yo wide forward from Monaco including Jasper Update 79. At that time, Jasper said the sticking point was that we thought his fee was too high. This may be what is being referred to by ITKs such as the Goat that 1 of the cabbages is unlikely right now.
That player is Yannick Ferreira Carrasco. He is cabbage #1 and the one who is the most difficult since he has Arsenal, Roma, Juventus, and I'm sure others rumored to be in for him. He may be the one Grey Fox alludes to in Update 108 a wideman who would be "a late stellar signing," who has "big fish in the pond"
Youri Tielemans is Cabbage #2. He is a CM, so fits the targets as well. He plays for RSC Anderlecht in Brussels. However, he also could be the difficult one since I think other huge clubs have been in for him including Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and other smaller clubs including Liverpool.
Both players are from the same grocer, their agent, Christophe Henrotay.
These two have "huge exciting potential" referred to by Jasper, again, in Update 107.
EDIT: Apologies to @razor1981 - I knew I didn't get here on my own creative thought and must have seen it before. He had it first, found here The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread 4th/5th July 2015. If you haven't repped him, go do it, especially if you rep me.
