Did anyone solve The Goat's latest cryptic

Someone yesterday came close.

The first letter of every word below in ITK says SONG SANCHEZ. Substitute the first name of Song (Alex Song - Alex) - Guessed answer was Alex Sanchez (Barca) -

but no confirmation if this was correct.

The Goat said: ↑

Some obvious news guys. Silent and night can have even zones.​

Comes to me from a brand new source so buckets of salt should be applied.​

 

[taidgh]

Quick run down of what happened last night?

bernard medical with arsenal but still some on here holding on to the dream
soldado obviously very close with baldini and one other head of the table type in spain.

Quick run down of what happened last night?

I had a kangaroo steak, with mash potato, roasted capsicum and beans for dinner. Washed it down with a crown lager and finished off with strawberry ripple ice cream. Took a crap, watched some tv, ironed a few work shirts and went to bed.

Thanks for asking.

Quick run down of what happened last night?

Baldini met Soldado's agent then the Valencia president. Apparently terms with player agreed, and terms with Valencia close. We want to give add ins to make it up to the €30m, they want instalments to guarantee the fee. Valencia guys meeting today to discuss at 12.

Oh man if we signed Soldado it would be claptrap beat-box time!
I believe someone said yesterday that Valencia were meeting today at 12 to discuss whether they would accept offers on table or not... is that correct? If so, we have a few hours to go yet.

I thought it was more a board (including local authority who are managing/ administering the club) meeting to discuss the Soldado offer vs. the offers for their other stars... Ahly Sissoko etc...

They have 1 real money earner and a few smaller gems. Their issue is, how to get as much money as possible without weakening the team so much that relegation is a real threat. Which ever route they go I do not think the money will go back into the club as players but more as debt repayment etc...

If we really wanted Soldado, loaning them a few reserve/ talented youth while paying their wages would probably swing it for the money men.

I thought that the TwatterChatter was all myth and no miracle?

Not sure if anyone has already posted these updates from LLM last night -

''Nobody is in for Huddlestone anymore. I get the feeling he just does not want to move, he has been so close to moving for a few years Fulham, Stoke, Sunderland. He has even toured their training grounds but has just never signed. He is not a mercenary like Bentley though.

Oh there is more to come than just a striker''
followed by -

''There is so much going on it is like a game of Jenga.

For example, If Dembele is fit, siggy will most likely leave on loan (through his own request), james McCarthy will still come in. If dembele is not fit, siggy will not leave and we still sign Mccarthy with Livermore staying put. Of course Parker will need to leave aswell but if he sits tight like Huddlestone then would we bring in McCarthy?

See the complexity?

if one link in the chain snaps it alters other deals''

Bit worrying if we need to shift some out before we get more in.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Not according to what the Goat was told. It's both.

I pretty much apply salt to absolutely everything but this one had an extra helping added.

Damn, we want Song, Sanchez & James MacCarthy?! Are we playing 3-5-1-1 next season?

I agree salt needed. Thank you for the clarification on it being both

 

[arunspurs]

I have added Marca's main article in Bale thread. Hope it isnt true

 

[Scutch]

Bernard medical with Arsenal? When did this come about? I thought that entire link was a load of old arse?

Pfft.

 

[Breezer]

Good to hear AVB confirm a few things.

Out of curiosity was AVB ever asked questions regarding Villa or Benteke.

 

[nicdic]

It was garbage, and nothing to do with ITK. Not sure why it's back in here again.

 

[bomberH]

I wouldn't be happy with Song. Not because he's ex Arsenal, just because with Paulinho, Dembele Sandro and Holtby covering central midfield even without Parker, Hudd & Livermore, we're more than covered in that area. If anything it would dent Holtby's chances and he needs games. Song is a very decent player but he's not better than any of those first 3 mentioned and Holtby has massive potential.

Sanchez on the other hand.... But that, much like my Red Indian friend, is Crazy Talk.

 

[nailsy]

Interesting that AVB says we want Soldado for strength in depth - it suggests that Defoe and Adebayor will both be staying.

Having just two strikers was an issue last season. We wouldn't only have been getting rid of one of them if we were buying more than one striker this window.

Marca and true is an oxymoron.

Pfft.

It is a load of old Arse but that doesn't stop people posting it every half an hour.
