Do we ever learn on here?!

People will be whipped up in a frenzy expecting James to waltz in to fanfare only to come crashing down as reality sets in that the transfer window slams shut and we seemingly 'miss the boat'.

Don't do it to yourselves - expect GKN and nothing more.

That ship's sailed seems fitting. No need for,'crashing down' though, it's just forum chat rather than Levy sipping cocktails with James on a private beach etc...

I'm getting on the James train.

007 being JAMES Bond.
And if you go BACK one Bonnd film to Skyfall, the villain is Raoul Silva but he was born with the name Tiago RODRGUEZ

Hence James Rodriguez.

James Bond was in Moonraker. The villain in Moonraker was Hugo Drax.


I'm going with Draxler.


Draxler, hmmmmmm (insert homer Simpson meme)

And I'm going with A&C is tickling our collective balls coz he's bored as fuck and is, as I type, wetting himself at our collective desperation for a marquee signing!

Oh I'm sure your right, but it is a Friday night so I think one is aloud to dream a little. The real answer is probably something a lot less extravagant.

It's fun trying to solve a cryptic, I think it's Rodriguez but in all honestly I haven't a clue. There's no harm in raising hopes as long as when we sign no one or no name, you don't think it's the end of the world. Pinch of salt and all that.

Oh yeah we're gonna sign Rodriguez, sweet...........:cool::cautious:

So Spurs. Rodriquez has hardly pulled up any trees at Madrid, but because he's a glamour name, we all wet ourselves. We simply won't pay over the odds for someone like him
Rodriguez hasn't pulled up trees at real madrid because he dosen't fit into the system, and they have Ronaldo and Bale. His record speaks for itself, even at Real Madrid is goal record is impressive. Its kinda like saying Bayern shouldn't of been excited about getting Robben or Inter getting sneijder. He is a class player and would be fantastic for us. Its a shame its not going to happen though.

Rodrigurez?

Yeah, of course its him because A&C cryptics have always been that easily solved haven't they?

Back to the drawing board.

You saps :p

I'll post the solution later in the morning. I was going to say before this gets out of hand but, well, you know.

Haven't got the solution for the cryptic but maybe the clue is a player with double letter O in his name and he wears the number 7 shirt.....?

There is a young central midfielder, renowned for his pressing and distribution, who has been linked with a big money move to the Premiership this summer and who goes by the name of Ruben Neves.

Neves, of course, is seven 'backed'.

Ronaldo? Aaaargh. :eek:

Quite devious this one for some reason, I feel as though the answer can't be that tricky and yet... Also I wouldn't get hopes up on the player being a worldwide, or I'm not sure A&C would reveal the answer so soon. :p

Wonder if this is regarding a contract extension of a youth promotion...
