What kind of spuriously optimistic cryptic thinking landed us at this name you're all salivating over?

Could he refuse the payment which would increase the buyout clause?

Is there a law that says you must know everything about football if you watch it? I must have missed that one.

So to summarise: A&C is given a tip about a player we are hoping to sign. This player hasn't been linked to us before. But instead of sharing the name, he decides to post the most generic cryptic clue possible. Somehow someone has connected the clue not to the player, but to a manager. What exactly would be the problem of sharing the information with the board that has been received simply by virtue of privileged position? Spurs fan? Strikes me more like the behaviour of a sadistic Gooner.

Stop buying into this shit, sheeple.

Estoril Praia has a player on loan at Santos.

That's out of order. First off it was my cryptic, not A&C. Secondly, we were asked by (both!) sources not to name the player as it was too sensitive. I made the cryptic ridiculously hard for that reason. We're not expecting anyone to guess it but if by some miracle they do, there's enough "right sounding" answers that it doesn't cause any problems. It's a bit of fun and we'll try to reveal it when the windows over if we can. You might be back by then if you're lucky.

The question is what Gards tweet about Gelson?

Martins has a release clause of €60m.

Bollocks - can't be him as we're spending £80m aren't we?

My Portuguese mate at work is a massive Sporting fan. He's still a bit agro about losing Dier to us. He has been telling me for the last year Gelson is the next big thing. If we are interested in getting him, we can look forward to our game changer!

I have a better one.

Cristiano Ronaldo recommended him for Real Madrid

They may well watch overseas football where they can, especially the leagues shown in plenty on TV like La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga, they may not. They might have families, kids, jobs which aren't just 9 - 5, so therefore don't have much time to watch the sixth (at best) best league in Europe.

Can anybody provide an update of this ITK book please. Been at work all day and there's 51 pages to scroll through. Thanks

Quite a few have families/work for a living?

If you just want to quietly tell me that @JJetset and @Hercules were the two sources, and that they both confirmed Martins...then I'll keep it quiet. Secrets safe.

Deal?

For £54m he'll be anybody you want him to be.

Love to have the time to watch world-wide footy.

THFCSPURS19 · Aug 30, 2017

Based on Rob saying 'We're not expecting anyone to guess it', then the cryptic doesn't refer to Gelson Martins.

However, if we look at the ratings of Breezer and Grey Fox, we may have accidentally uncovered that he's a target anyway lol.

I have no idea how much we're spending or who we are buying. Just wanted to make sure mendez wasn't his agent (which he isn't and his release clause was in the article).
