BEN on son: Same situation as Wba player wants to come club don't want to sell

So it's probably not a definite 'NO' then, as he was claiming...but an unlikely...

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Why have we gone back to cabbages when that was completely written off as done and dusted last week!??!

There are more than two cabbages in the world. You've only got to look in this thread. But to answer, this is a different cabbage.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Make hay (cabbage?) whilst the Son shines, as I always say.
That should land us in a place in the Son.

Encouraging

Surely if there's a release clause they can't really stop it?

The clause might be the same as wba - meet it or gtfo.

But what do I know?

After a bit of digging it seems the release clause has expired

 

[Mr Pink]

Is it really any surprise that Clubs don't want to sell their best players? You have to pay through the nose when a Club doesn't want to sell;...completely different if they're more open to selling, a lot more room for negotiation then...but when they don't there's an inevitable premium.

Ah okay, I thought it was another case of someone coming in late and dragging up the old cryptic.

The links with Son could well be mind games from Levy to put pressure on Pearce to accept a deal? they play in similar position so it could be subtle leaks from Levy to make Pearce think 'oh fuck, they don't need Berahino after all' and be stuck with a striker who wants out with a passion

Why would we leak it through local German newspapers rather than here in the UK then?

 

[DeadleyLedley]

I'm probably going to regret asking this but what is all this cabbages stuff about?

I agree the timings a bit fishy...but how does Levy manage to get reliable German journos in on it?
If it was sourced from a UK media outlet then I'd say you're bang on, something weird about this one.

 

[Parkie]

Players at clubs knocked (or in danger of being) out of the CL:

Anthony Martial
Breel Embolo
Christoph Kramer (playing Nazio tonight)

have you got a cold?

 

[KaribYid]

Illarramendi rejoins Sociedad on a 6-year deal. That's another DM off the list.

 

[SpursSvedala]

Illaramendi is now officially in Real Sociedad according to their homepage. More ITK is harder to find?

 

[dagraham]

GTFO

 

[HappySpur]

So the cabbages are evans and hernandez. Two players we haven't bid for or tried to get. Brilliant cryptic.
Let's do a cryptic for shawcross next.........oh

We've had nearly two months wit the cabbage talk. But at the time nobody knew it was Evans and Hernandez and if you go back to the first usage, it was a pretty solid cryptic. Don't let time or disappointment take away from it retrospectively

I'm probably going to regret asking this but what is all this cabbages stuff about?

Go to the RO and starting I think on June 2nd (give or take two days) it is a cryptic ITK from the Goat. It is then referenced twice more soon thereafter. It's been used ever since in this thread. Sometimes for good. Sometimes for evil

The goal posts shifted.

Because he doesn't currently have a release clause I think. It's in the player thread.
