Cabbage is to make kimchi as well.... But most famous is sauerkraut, I presume Germans.

Can't do cryptics, brain isn't fully developed to work them out, I'll just sit and watch.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

@Archibald&Crooks did you just give yourself a funny rating?

No but I did rub myself 'down there' briefly.

Hmmm.................... "Grocer" can be roughly translated to "Kramer", i.e. Christoph.

He's also german, hence a Kraut (informal slang, possibly not PC, yet German for Cabbage).

 

[voxy28]

We started with Kramer and Sven Bender.... Is how I look at it.

 

[CheltYid]

There is a cabbage known as the 'Baby Gonzales'.
Mind you, there is also one called 'The Danish Ballhead'

Yup Grocer = Lebensmittelhandler or 'kramer'. That's got to be one.

My first thought was Rabiot & Cabaye

 

[Anuth]

Cabbage is Col in Spanish


Two Col from the same grocery.......

I put Kramer into google translate and one of the suggestions that came up was grocer, or small shopkeeper.

The Brussels sprout is a member of the Gemmifera Group of cabbages, so would fit in with the 'smaller cabbagge' part of the cryptic. So from that i would guess Mitrovic as his current club is R.S.C. Anderlecht of Brussels.

 

[Blackrat1299]

Its like watching 'What's My Line'

 

[Grey Fox]

Wasn't going to post this, because it wasn't from my usual source, but with good connections in Spain heard we were in for both Toby and Suarez from Athletico.

It fits small and large, but not sure about cabbage

There is the cannonball cabbage also known as a 'mammoth brussels sprout.'

We are signing Mitrovic and Tielemans.

 

[rawhide]

Ok, so I'm liking the small cabbage being Brussels Sprout (Belgian), so what other larger cabbage do we have?

• Savoy (could be hotel related, e.g. Hilton, Ritz, Carlton)
• Red (rouge, rosso, rood, rote, vermelho, rojo)
• White (blanco, blanc, bianco, Weiss)

Same grocer suggests selling club.

Hmmm...

Oh shit

Two Col = Dos Col

Anagram of Cos Old....

We are getting rid of Spurs lodges fruit and veg supplier cos he's old! Easy

 

[225]

isnt Kohl german for cabbage?

Both are, but kohl is more commonly used to be the equivalent of how we use "crap". I think Kraut is associated with the word 'cabbage' as a plant or herb, which is why you get "saurkraut", which translates as "Sour Cabbage"

 

[dagraham]

I'm away for a couple of hours and everyone's talking about cabbages .

10 years of this thread and I never get tired of it.

 

[whitelanefever]

Two Cabbages.. (One small = White Cabbage also known as a Dutch Cabbage = Clasie..Large = Van Dijk
Probably miles out
