Matt, Matthijs De Ligt and/or Mateo Kovacic hopefully (doubt the second one sadly). Second part not sure.

Matt... maybe Matthijs de Ligt?? Him being the first signing with others to follow.
Sounds good but perhaps that's a little obvious?

Aren't cryptics created because we have had no links in the media and we want to protect the source? (Also for the mods pleasure of watching us go insane)

@tiger666 's theory sounds good if someone can get a name from it.

Sometimes. But also quite often simply because the source has asked us not to come straight out with the name but is happy for it to be cryptic. If that's what they ask, that's what we do, so when people say '"Why cryptic that".....there's the answer.

And yeah, driving you lot mad is a perk of the job.

Matthew 25:32

Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Could be referring to something happening after certain people are eliminated from the World Cup?

To shepherd = to guide or direct in a particular direction. In other words, to marshal.

I'm so trying to link it to Bale, after @ValenciaYid posted earlier, that I went for this theme but in a different direction... Not fully formed...

But related to the cryptic we have already had biblical suggestions and then your 'to guide' theory...

to combine both. Bale is signed to 'STELLAR' agency - the stars guide in the bible and also relates to the Shepherd....i'm strectching..

But Bales Agents trying to lead him back to Spurs?

Parable of the Lost Sheep (Matthew 18:12–14) - is about a shepherd who leaves his flock of ninety-nine sheep in order to find the one which is lost and trying to find its way home.

Sheep connection to Wales ------> Bale coming home?

Personally I think the cryptic is about Sam Clucas from Swansea or whatever his fucking name is.

Love that the start was all philosophical and intelligent - then it’s “Welsh shag sheep = Bale”
