The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 9th July 2015

It's essentially been all but confirmed that the cabbages were Kramer and Son.

I think even @Rob was stunned that there was a link so good to his cryptic, especially as it wasnt the right answer

 

[WiganSpur]

What a bizarrely contradictory set of statements!

In addition to another CF we need a pacy forward ideally, who'd primarily play on the wing. Werner or N'Jie maybe.

There is absolutely zero chance of Austin being interested in coming here to sit on the bench, he is at the peak of his career, has become an England regular, he would reject us in a heartbeat

....he's not even had his first cap yet, has he!?

Lambert made just as many England squads from the bindippers bench as he did starting for SCBC.

Ahhh I get you. Though you were saying we should sign Llorente for pace! As you were.

 

[Drexl]

Charlie Austin is an England regular?

Oops thought he was

I think I 100% know what the cabbages are.

We've had hints that the cabbages refer to brussel sprouts.

Brussel refers to Brussels which is in Belgium. Also refers to Anderlecht which is in Brussels, Belgium

We have had multiple ITKs on a Belgium 21 yo wide forward from Monaco including Jasper Update 79. At that time, Jasper said the sticking point was that we thought his fee was too high. This may be what is being referred to by ITKs such as the Goat that 1 of the cabbages is unlikely right now.

That player is Yannick Ferreira Carrasco. He is cabbage #1 and the one who is the most difficult since he has Arsenal, Roma, Juventus, and I'm sure others rumored to be in for him.

Tielemans is Cabbage #2. He is a CM, so fits the targets as well. He plays for RSC Anderlecht in Brussels. However, he also could be the difficult one since I think other huge clubs have been in for him including Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and other smaller clubs including Liverpool.

Both players are from the same grocer, their agent, Christophe Henrotay.

Helped the target along by a £100 donation.

Can I ask for an upgrade on Austin now ?

think you could probably ask for a reacharound.

He may be the one Grey Fox alludes to in Update 108 a wideman who would be "a late stellar signing," who has "big fish in the pond"

Youri Tielemans is Cabbage #2. He is a CM, so fits the targets as well. He plays for RSC Anderlecht in Brussels. However, he also could be the difficult one since I think other huge clubs have been in for him including Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and other smaller clubs including Liverpool.

These two have "huge exciting potential" referred to by Jasper, again, in Update 107.

EDIT: Apologies to @razor1981 - I knew I didn't get here on my own creative thought and must have seen it before. He had it first, found here The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread 4th/5th July 2015. If you haven't repped him, go do it, especially if you rep me.

Actually I was thinking Mitrovic and Tielemans..... Think quite close

He's in big shit when the reveal comes. I shouldn't let him do the cryptics really.

A&C just diasgreed both your asses..Neither player guess right i presume


Tielmanns & Carrasco

 

[npearl4spurs]

Could be right here.

Got a disagree from A&C

 

[bk75]

£20 donated, yesterday was like an ITK goldmine. It's much appreciated

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Got a disagree from A&C

I don't usually use the 'red' ratings much but in this case it needed doing

 

[strader]

Just read the ITK from GF, that got me excited; adding to yesterdays news.

If my maths is right - January, July and August transfer window @ £5
9 months @ £3

this equates to £42.

Just donated my yearly pot in there, good on you guys for keeping this place going.

 

[gazzeh]

How close are we to the cabbagepatch clue?

 

[npearl4spurs]

Ahh that's okay. Thanks for the hint anyway Just donated 5 GBP ($7.90 USD) for all the great ITK we have had recently and all the excitement around the club. I know it isn't much, but it is all I can spare right now. Thanks Rob and A&C and other staff for a great site I spend every day on.


I think we can all agree lots of smoke around Mitrovic, Tielemans, Ferreira Carrasco, and Kramer.

Exciting times, regardless. I hope even one of those comes off!!

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

How close are we to the cabbagepatch clue?

Generally? Well…….if we were playing that game, you know the one, where someone says 'warm, warmer, hot, hotter' as someone goes around looking for something that's been hidden……you know the game I mean? Well, if I were playing that, i'd be telling you to kickstart the huskies and put the snowshoes on.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Llorente picking up in the media a bit, maybe there is something in the Savoy/Turin thing...

From the sounds of it the Son/Kramer solution may be a better cryptic than the actual answer!

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

OK as promised……..Cabbages:

Signing Alderweireld means one Cabbage isn't happening. As far as i'm aware I could count the number of people who have named the other cabbage on one hand.

That's all you get i'm afraid. That is, until el source-o says its OK.
