In all honesty, my biggest concern was a RB so if we complete Aurier, everything else is gravy baby.

Although all that does is reset us to where we were at the start of the window, other than Sanchez.

Aurier does look good mind, but attacking reinforcements are where the real need was imo, so personally I'll be judging the window mainly on that.

Late to the party but see we have been linked with Andre Gomes. Voted the worst signing in La Liga last season. Sounds about right Spurs.(y)

Jadon - "God has heard"

Maybe a reference to Sancho

Rule 7 subsection C of the ITK Discussion Thread Handbook reads, and I quote

" if you come across a cryptic that is more than 3 hours old and you still have in excess of 40 pages of the thread to read, don't just dive in with the first guess that springs into your head and post it. Take a little time to read some of the thread or if you don't have much time, go straight to the end and you'll likely find some up to date answers. Nobody wants to read that we will be signing Wily Boly for the 47th time in one day"

Straight up quote. I swear.

Rumours that some of the old original leather bound copies of the handbook came with a pull out poster of @Archibald&Crooks naked missus remain unsubstantiated for now. I've never been able to get my hands on a first edition

For the benefit of those who don't want to chew their way through sixty-five sacks of bollocks the cryptic was solved by resident brain @Nine while nine with Jehova = God's name (R.E.) = Andre Gomes. This information was welcomed by the ravenous SC hordes with a frenzied :meh:.

Meanwhile some other posters (who have no idea how cryptics work) used the infinite monkeys method and came up with Gelson Martins which was indiscreetly winnered by some ITKs.

For those of you who are watching GM's YouTube vids through a miasma of boiling jizz, a little info from someone who has actually watched him play a few times. He's quite good ;).

Rob said the cryptic was made especially difficult this time so why would it be as simple as the Gomes solution? Wouldn't it stand to reason that it would be something much more difficult?

Also jokes that are no longer funny.
Putting an n in front of a players name.
Putting peters at the end of one.
Byern in for...
Blue and yellow...
Making an answer to a cryptic absurd in order to get the name of a really great/shit player.

Gelson Martins... how many palyers are running through Europe I've never heard of and totally excite me when I put 10 minutes in scouting them? :D
Surely at this rate Gray can not be the answer. Too much better and even cheaper talent around.

So excited for tomorrow.

Geordies always say "Alan shearer will save us"

So if losing 3-0 at HT.one geordie would turn to the other with a knowing wing and just say Alan shearer.

Just saying

The addition of R.E. makes it difficult. I piss through the Guardian cryptic most days and I didn't get it :(.
