I'm going with Mitrovic and Tielemans unless somebody presents more logic.

Cabbage - Brussels, same grocer - both from Anderlecht.

(Smaller) Tielemans is only 5 ft 9 but is one of the biggest talents in world football, sought after by all top teams in Europe, so would definitely fit the reasoning of keeping this cryptic, plus tie in with how excited JJ has been about our midfield target.

Mitrovic is much bigger at 6 ft 3 and we have had ITK on him just before from Trix.

This is also an optimistic view as I would bloody love it to be these two. Even though my head says it would be good to have some experience, I would also love us to build a team of fearless talented youngsters not afraid to challenge anybody.
this would be superb but I can't bring myself to get too excited because it seems too far out of our league. Amazing if it works out though.

I had Alderweireld and Mitrovic. One smaller than the other, a Brussel Sprout (Anderlecht), but both from the same Grocer (Belgium; one is an international and the other plays there).

In Germany you can order Saurekrat & Sausage.. In Switzerland you can order cabbage sausage & you can also order cabbage Basil.. & I'm thinking same agent.. played for same club Basel.. Breel Embolo(please be) & Shaqiri

Funny you mentioned Switzerland because initially I thought of Mertens (Belgian) and Inler (Swiss), both at Napoli

How so? They have NFL matches at Wembley and it doesn't seem to affect the stadium design and atmosphere.
The NFL took Wembley as is, I think they are getting in now to influence the stadium design to better meet their requirements. If its only the retractable field, then it might not be terrible, but facilitating teams, and sidelines, and luxury boxes, etc. I don't know.

Anytime you go from 36k to 60k in seating its going to feel less intimate, but the NFL wanted in now for a reason - and its not to benefit Spurs supporters.

I've tried translating cabbage. I've tried types of cabbage. I've tried cabbage recipes. I've tried members of the cabbage family. I've tried Belgians, Germans and Spaniards. I've tried big players and little players. I've tried Whites, Reds and the House of Savoy. I've tried grocers, greengrocers and supermarkets.

And what do I have to show for it?

This f**king chant going round and round my head, that's what.

Boom boom boom
let me hear you say Kale,
Kale!
Boom boom boom
let me hear you say Kale,
Kale.

If we got Tielemans, I think I would explode.

If the cryptic does relate to kraut as in german....couldnt the smaller cabage from the same grocer (family) maybe mean "son"

Maybe the smaller cabage could be Hueng Min Son. Leverkusen has bender and kramer there too.

Tielemans is a ridiculous talent for his age, he would be an incredible signing.

If these 2 signings win us a trophy in their first season here, I await the banner that reads '2 cabbages 1 cup'.
