Did anyone work out WPD's cryptic?

Da 47 (AN) está chegando

Yep. It is about Willian.

Willian's full name is Willian Borges Da Silva.

So the Da part is obvious.

47 is the atomic number of Silver.

(AN) refers to his Russian Club Anhzi.

está chegando means is coming in Portuguese.

EDIT: Full credit goes to the guy who got it. I couldn't find the post, but I think it may have been beats1.

Why on Earth would a player wanting to make Brazil's WC squad join a team where he is up against Navas, Jovetic, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, etc. just to get a game.


Because Man City play in the Champions League which gets massive exposure world wide. I'm sure Willian has belief in his ability to be an important player for Citeh if they have a bid accepted.

Plenty of players have joined them with belief in their own ability and been cast to the side.

My only concern about this window so far is our lack of creativity with our signings. I like who we've bought, but it was evident again against Palace that we struggled to unlock the defence.

Willian would solve that problem. Add him and keep Bale we are really going places

Aye fair comment. I'm just going on Google (I know..). Googled Willian wages and it came up with 2.5m Euro a year. But we obviously know his wages etc so if we've bid, we clearly feel we can offer him a decent package.

You'd certainly think so and in the now likely event of Bale leaving along with several other departures, I don't think we'll get financially out muscled by Liverpool if we are serious about getting him.

I'd be surprised if Moyes isn't considering him for United as he would be an ideal purchase for them out wide and would rack up the assists with RvP looking like he's continuing his steller form from last year.

Ermagherd.

This could finally be the one window to unite us all. I mean, we've done several things already this summer. I thought last yr's catch was good but this is getting kuh-razee!
