1 in 10, 11 eleven- lewandowski, solved it I'm a genius ?

 

[Hoopspur]

1 in 10 was a double A side single. Doing this from memory. The reverse was King.

Not suggesting anything...

 

[GMI]

There’s a Rat in me kitchen..... Poch is going.

Rakitich?

One in ten....anagram???

Entoine?

If the goat is illiterate we might be getting GRIEZMANN ??

 

[JayB]

I think it’s about signing a player on a free?

What big names are on a free?

Emre Can
Max Meyer
Ballotelli
Bernard
Shaw
Milan Badeji
Pau Lopez

We were linked with Bruno Fernandes in the press toward the end of the season and there is a wave of players at Sporting terminating their contracts right now. He plays as a No. 10 so it would fit in with that aspect of the cryptic as well.

 

[THFCjosh]

My first thought was it is to do with a goals to games ratio and Janssen is staying

1 in 10 for Janssen, that's a bit generous.

 

[DiamondLites]

One and Ten, i.e. 11 maybe Lamela is getting a new contract?

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

ONE IN TEN IS NOT ELEVEN. Basic understanding of maths please lads.

 

[NinjaTuna]

1 IN 10 IS NOT 11. Basic understanding of maths please lads.

Plenty of ex-maths teachers rolling in their graves this evening

 

[Nine while nine]

One in ten as a fraction is a tenth.

The tenth wedding anniversary is tin.

Tin Jedvaj, with whom we were linked as a youth, or possibly

Tin ...

… Can (on a free from Liverpool)

 

[Spursfan1414]

Seen a few people suggesting that this means we're signing a player on a free, William Carvalho has just rescinded his contract at Sporting, could it be him?

 

[Yid-ol]

ONE IN TEN IS NOT ELEVEN. Basic understanding of maths please lads.

Who says it has to be maths

1 in 10
Put 1 in 10

10 (with adding the 1 in)
11

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

Who days it has to be maths

1 in 10
Put 1 in 10

10 (with adding the 1 in)
11

Surely that would be 110?

 

[Almo2414]

Can somebody just figure out a way to link this to Kovacic then I’ll go with that resolution

 

[synththfc]

Surely that would be 110?

Ousmane Dembele was signed for around 110 million, think i've got it solved now

 

[Yid-ol]

Surely that would be 110?

No that's adding 1 to 10 not putting 1 in 10

 

[Univarn]

So I see we've gone to the existential questioning of what really is maths portion of a cryptic. So that should only leave us about 5 more pages until A&C pops in and neither confirms or denies anybody has guessed it yet and we all have a meltdown before we realize it was the most mundane answer all along.

 

[Hoopspur]

Juan Mata has worn 10 in the past

I am Juan in 10!

 

[topper]

Can somebody just figure out a way to link this to Kovacic then I’ll go with that resolution

Well if we take I=1 and o = 0 then in the surname Kovacic we have a 1 and 10 ?
