I keep having images of Del Boy struggling with French.
Mange tout Tiger, mange tout!

Still can't see it being one of the aforementioned players contracts considering what we already know but happy to be totally wrong!

obviously 3 in French is trois but it could be a double cryptic. I'm looking in to this too much, I've been here too long, help me

Eriksen, Dele, Hugo contracts would make sense, given what we've already heard. Assuming spanish use of 'tres' for 3.

I'm not convinced it's about contracts, because as someone said, why use a cryptic?

However I'm looking at all possible interpretations of that post and scrutinising them with a little help from my French degree and I'm coming up with nothing (except a very loose connection to Clément Lenglet but I don't think it's alluding to him)

You utter bastard @Trix I've got work I was meant to do this morning

Sorry, let me be clearer for the fulminating pedants among us.

I'm not convinced it's about contract renewals for our existing players.

Reckon we are all making this a bit more complex than it is meant to be ;)

However “of the” in French is de le

It's actually "de la" when coupled with a feminine noun, or either just "de" or just "du" when coupled with a masculine noun.

If the noun is plural, it becomes "des".

You'd never use "de le" in French.

(Not saying you're wrong of course, just that it wouldn't be correct French)

While that's true, it contracts to "du" and if he's used the feminine of "good" it would be "de la", which makes less sense.

@Trix is either brilliant at French and has deliberately filled 6 words with several possible meanings or he's rubbish at French and we're all going way over the top trying to tear it apart. :cautious:
