Personally I want Berahino. Can play off the left, with kane, or on his own. Is young and English. I know he thinks hes some Gangstas paradise but hes just made a few dumb choices and needs some guidance. Im pretty sure hes not poison to a squad like Kaboul or Adebayor. Id like him

Berahino is a young Ade no thanks

 

[yankspurs]

Krychowiak has a €30m release clause so wouldn't matter if we're hated. Can't see him leaving a CL team though.

Meh. €30m looks like alot until you realize we could buy him with what we might be able to make by selling Lennon, Kaboul and Vlad

 

[Greenspur]

It'll probably only end up as Sprouting Purple Broccoli or the like though........

Purple sprouting broccoli is tha most delicious vegetable in the world (along with young asparagus and flageolet beans).

 

[Ben Drew]

french for cabbage = chou.
is it as simple as Llorente wears big shoes.
the other (Spanish?) target must wear small shoes....!!

You think we're making 30M out of those 3?

10 - 15 if we're lucky

 

[$hoguN]

May just be me but if one of the cabbages is either Austin or Llorente I would sooner we did our gardening elsewhere

That is a serious exaggeration, more of a Ravel Morrison type of situation. Ade is in a league of his own.

Morrison may be an even bigger **** than Ade to be fair

Yeah maybe not the best example, was thinking of someone who delivers on the pitch regularly but thinks he is a bit of a gangster and acts like a total knob off of it.

 

[rossdapep]

Was it the cb from Monaco and the other cabbage is winger dude?

Abdennour and carassco?

 

[Shep]

Not true. At Morrison leaves places fairly easily.

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

Another possiblity, although not incredibly exciting, is Januzaj and Fellaini. Same grocer is obvious and their both from brussels so both would be 'small' but obviously januzaj would be smaller. I think them both being 'small' works as the wording of the cryptic "one smaller than the other" can be read as them both being small e.g " their both small but ones smaller"

Lennon - £7m; Vlad - £7m; Kaboul - £3m...okay, so we'd be about £3-4m short, big deal.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

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 has no caps... He only made the squad because Sturridge was injured and Kane, Ings and Berahino were all at u21s.

 

[Hoopspur]

Err, better do your maths again....17m v 30m!?

Edit - didn't see it was euros.

 

[Hoopspur]

Fuck me - a difficult crowd in tonight! Took me 1 minute to correct!

Brussels sprouts were actually first grown in ancient rome so obviously roma would be derived from that. And thats my final contribution to trying to crack the cryptic haha

 

[Imnotacticalgenius]

As i mentioned a few days ago......If its indeed Brussels Sprout and a Belgian, Kevin De Bruyne is the one i will happiest with....but definitely very difficult to complete. He will give balance to the first team and would provide a more consistent threat, with pace, skills and vision from the right.

Nainggolan

(didn't someone mention another Belgian!!)

Not like he'd leave us for Roma.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

krychowiak? Plus Nzonzi just moved there aswell potential replacement perhaps? can't see it though.

Southampton want him... would be typical of Levy to think 'sweep their feet from under them (Toby), then stamp on their nuts (Krychowiak)' lol
