Update in the Stambouli thread.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Anyone want to go back to past threads and see which player named the least that way could mean the second cabbage? I tried but I nearly blew my brains out.

I thought someone would try

Before embarking on such an undertaking you have to first ask yourself, knowing that someone would have a stab at it, is he telling the truth or is he just saying that knowing someone will take a year out of their life to search all the threads and posts so that he can laugh his sick tits off when he finds out?

Would I do that?

Am I capable of such a heinous falsehood?

Nah, of course i'm not. I'm telling the truth.

Or am I?

jasper on austin and stuff: More from what I was just told, is his agents are pro-active and 'if' there was a remote possibility based upon what QPR want the cost would be in region of 9-10m based upon appearances, success, goals scored etc, that is the package it would rise. From a personal point of view I can't see it but that is my own opinion. Lloriente: We have been speaking to his people, but that is typical Daniel not wanting to miss out if we are left empty handed. They may be Plan *** but not Plan A, B or C.

Or like I've suggested, with Soldado seemingly wanting out maybe we are considering a backup striker type (Llorente/Austin) AND a young WF/ST type (Werner/N'Jie)...

You're a sick, sick man A&C. A sick, sick man.

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

Hang on!

This one's all yours

A bit more from Jasper

In reply to -
Thanks Jasper - as you've been indicating all along, it seems like we are all in with a shout of being very pleased if we can land the striker(s) that we are going for!


100% word for word my friend.

Okay, clutching at straws now but Timo Werner plays for Stuttgart and Stuttgart has a cabbage festival every year. He also hasn't been mentioned that often.

 

[Lo Amo Speroni]

a&c said 'el sauceo' is that a clue?

People are fucking weird.

 

[Blackrat1299]

With part of the cryptic being same grocer, most posters are looking at Agent and club, why couldn't it be the (play for) same country?

 

[Sum Monsterism]

anyone who doesn't want austin should thank me. I just jinxed it at Ladbrokes.

 

[gazzeh]

What language is that.. Spanish?

 

[gilzeantheking]

el saucejo is a province of Seville.

 

[dodispur]

CB I reckon, JJ did suggest another CB was due in even if Toby didn't happen, and he seems to be the source.

Moreno maybe? Does Tasci play for the same club as Werner?

Edit: Tasci plays for Spartak now, but started out at the same place as Werner, Stuttgart. Could be considered a joke (taxi for Maicon) and has been linked in prior windows. As for cabbages both are German so could be the Sauerkraut link.

If you google German cabbage festival the first link and biggest festival is held in a village just south of Stuttgart. Which makes the Timo Werner idea feasible (a "small" Tiny Timo?). Which could make Antonio Rudiger the centre back who's in the news and expected to move as the cabbage that has fallen with the Toby signing.

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

So...what i'm reading is...huge tricky cryptic, given a whole shroud of sensitivity, secrecy and mystery (one of those words would probably have sufficed...), that got us hugely optimistic with connotations of exciting going ons...but in reality it's going to be a bit of a disappointment in comparison?

 

[Bill_Oddie]

a&c said 'el sauceo' is that a clue?

It's a clue that he needs a bloody holiday.

 

[Yid1987]

Personally think the other cabbage is Llorente and the link is the agents.
