The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 21st June

I got Bale and Modric but arrived at that by using an anagram solver to get the following words:

"look at our son Matt, he's a Shepherd" =

look
heros
the
tournamet
asasphd (which I presume is Welsh for Champions League)

Well Bale and Modric would surely be a dream.
But:
"on this double-cryptic" suggests using the first word "ruminate" together with a double phrase that follows.
That and "look at" suggests using the double of "our son Matt" and "Shepherd".
And it's no doubt just a quite remarkable coincidence that the letters "Ruminate our son Matt Shepherd" can be re-arranged to form "A hint on the dream spurs team".

25 and 32 could be a squad number

You really must get out more

Why is double cryptic hyphenated? It shouldn’t be. Or is it a subtract sign linked to the numeration anagram? Oh jeez...

Haven't read the thread, but shepherd in Italian is Pastore...

Is it a Deja Vu or we went through pastor=pastore stuff during the last week of previous summer window?

Rob has hinted at that very part of the crytpic.

If you had read the thread you would have read he is doing a medical and set to join Roma.

This morning A&C woke up and thought "What can we do today to piss @dazherring off the most?" and this is what we came up with.

Fair play to you for staying nice and polite. An ability I lost sixteen transfer windows ago

Matthew 2:2

Saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

Not religious myself, so just Googled something to see what came up.

Grasping here, due to the word "rose" - but perhaps It's an update on Danny's future? His "star" has indeed risen since he came back from loan, and although he faced critisism for his comments, most of us do "worship" him as a player.

 

[Lily White Lady]

Pastore’s middle name is also Matias. Just saying.

Don't do it @Univarn it's a trap

 

[Waiwonder]

think the dash in double cryptic is a clue to the first part.

Link?

Just Google it you lazy sod!

 

[neilp]

I’m hoping the biblical reference is to the return of the prodigal son, Bale.

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

Ruminate
= room in eight
= we currently have no one allocated squad number 8
= we re buying a central midfielder to take this spot?

 

[bsinghd]

Thought the cryptic might be Matteo Kovecic but his surname means blacksmith

 

[DiscoD1882]

Does a double crypitic mean its actually unencrypts itself?

so what they are saying is actually who we are getting.

Solved. Pub. First rounds on me. (not telling you what pub im going to) Nurr
