And he hasn't confirmed it, meaning no-one is right....

Which is not the same as being close. Someone could have 2 out of 3 names correct.

 

[dazzabee]

If not Jefferson Montero I am thinking someone else from Swansea as the Benjamin bit may link to Ben Davies. Michu? Could be cheap. Not sure who else we would be in for. Please dear god not Jonjo Shelvey.

TBF Trix said he would only confirm someone was right if they solved the cryptic correctly, so if someone just said the name without the full solution he wouldn't confirm it.

What three names?

How the fuck did anyone arrive at it being three names?

People rocking up and posting a name won't do. Trix wants the cryptic solved. That means you have to give the solution as you worked it out.

A bit like you'll all have to do in the margin of your maths test papers when you eventually take your primary school exams.

Poor old Benjamin

So instead of being a literal reference to Benjamin, the 'old' bit means we could be looking at the etymology of the name instead- the older meaning.

Ben = Son
Jamin = right hand (the south / of strength)

Therefore
=
Son of the South
=
Son heung min of South Korea.

It was an example that people could be close without it being correct. I have no idea about the answer or how many names there are or if anyone is close or not.

This is good, this is good! We now know we're not dealing with three names. That's Son heung min out the door. NEXT!

All these cryptics ever do is confirm I'm shit at cryptics.

 

[leemason2302]

Carvalho

 

[Trix]

Especially as Trix has said no-one is even close so far, which means not Berahino or Illaramendi (even though people will continue to post that it's them)

Eh when did I say that?

I swear some of you must run these posts through some sort of LSD infused bablefish type app before you read them.

 

[RobjDerby]

Any chance of a Lunchtime update or clus on the two Cryptics?
Doesn't sound like there has been much progress since 9.09am........

Please........

Benjamin = Stambouli
Rough translation of Rabiot into English = Reverse

So you're saying it IS Berahino and Illaramendi, just that no-one has solved the cryptic specifically enough for you to confirm...!?

 

[wiggo24]

My guess would be that West Brom are refusing to budge on Berahino, but we're close to one of Bender or Illarramendi, which will make us all ctfo about Saido.

You are joking?

[SpursTillIDie1882]

Maybe the Dr Ross relates ross geller friends(bale & modric) , fixing/ mending aka illaremdi? Asking friends to sway illaramendi?

 

[SpursSvedala]

Benjamin = Stambouli

Or... Broken Benjamin went to PSG. Their Dr Ross fixed him and are now sending him back

 

[max cady]

Don't know about anyone else but that was perfectly clear to me!
