[Archibald&Crooks]

​

Good morning everyone!

Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly.​

The Third Man.

A veiled reference to the signing of a new left back, moving on to our second back-up alternative in a key position, or merely you inviting another gentleman to an evening of rectal carnage at your place?

I think we all know the answer to that. You hideous, appalling man.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Ben Davies you dont know shit

 

[gazzeh]

Before i get banned @Archibald&Crooks is this a cryptic? Lol

 

[Lo Amo Speroni]

As a result of the OP & my frustration with cabbages, I have decided to do some work today.

A&C you can go and

 

[Col_M]

Hugo is off. Our 3rd man to be stolen from us by Man U.....or is it Real Madrid? Hence the chaos and gloom. Borgias are the richest, most corrupt family in the history of erm Families!

Off to work now. Hopefully it will actually be a reference to a large pop that A&C has overnight.

"Let them eat cabbage"

Bum! That makes a lot of sense. I really hope you're wrong!

OMG. king Louis Van Gaal and Di Maria Antoinette?

If I say no people will ignore it and guess away anyway because despite what people say, deep down, proper deep down, right at the magical point located dead centre of their testes, you know (or maybe not), the part that controls how far their eyes roll back when they hit their vinegar strokes, they love it. This will result in a load of guesses.

If I say yes see above.

I think that's a Maybe. A wink is as good as a nod, eh?eh?

Hunted by men...Sought by WOMEN!

 

[Scott Spur]

So basically a whole storm of crap could be heading our way but could have a silver lining.....someone off?

The second part implies this is sometimes needed so facilitate improvement......no idea who the hell Holly is supposed to refer to

Mind you, at least there's no bloody cabbages this time

 

[Indisguise]

Llorente?

 

[Gary Mabbutts Mask]

Graham Green wrote the screenplay. Signing Julian Green from Bayern.

Next cryptic please.

 

[daveduvet]

Llorente?

The player from the shadows that we didn't think would exist/come our way?

 

[Scott Spur]

Ah....hang on, could 'Holly' in some weird @Archibald&Crooks refer to Hugo Lloris?

Hugo is off

 

[Yid-ol]

The quote is in reference to -

Harry Lime (Orson Welles) attempts to convince his old friend Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) to join him in his underground criminal affairs.

Could it be one of our own players is trying to convince a friend to join us?!

Could be Alderweireld on Schneiderlin, could be one of the Belgians on Mirallas.

 

[Hoopspur]

I'll dip in later to see whether any of this makes sense. Unsolvable cryptics seem to rule. Possibly there should be a dedicated thread?

 

[Joeyboey]

Now that Morgan is out of reach I hope we hurry up and get a wiggle on with McCarthy.
