The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - Happy Birthday Bulletspur!

[sage]

Just googled it, wouldn’t surprise me if we did buy him that the Napoli president says he got a price completely different to what we say we paid on our end.
Surely they would deal around the 60/70 million euro mark.

Probably much higher. Arsenal reportedly had a £51m rejected for him, with Napoli allegedly looking for £85m.

Surely the heart reference in the Goats cryptic is pointing to Eriksen?

Also news this morning that Man Utd have backed out, makes sense.

 

[Hoopspur]

Useless at anything cryptic but - I would guess at Hickey he is a Hearts boy they get a payback and it sort of rhymes a bit

Napoli are said to be after him. A good prospect for sure.

When the moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie, that’s Koulibaly??
When the world seems to shine
Like you’ve had too much wine, that’s Koulibaly (too)??

? Doubt it!!

Why is there any need for Eriksen ITK to be cryptic.

We have had loads of open info about it. Hardly a big secret we want him back.

It's got to be more sensitive than that.

ValenciaYid: Think the club will need to be opening a top quality pizzeria at this rate???

Pizzeria Antonio e Gigi Sorbillo​

The link is to a pizzeria in Naples so perhaps adds some weight to the cryptic being Napoli-focused

It's got to be more sensitive than that.

But also more specific than just pointing at Napoli, and if it was sensitive it wouldn't even be posted.

I find it hard to believe that both "Hearts will play" and the partial anagram are a coincidence.

Nice to see a cryptic.

I'll just add I posted one a while back that is still currently in play but it was so good literally everyone missed it.

It's not something I can confirm right now even if you find it as it's not exactly common knowledge as yet, and tbh the only reason I'm telling you it's out there is because I've had a few bevies.

I reckon it's this; "He's a legend on the pan pipes though, so........"
Quick look and the top notable pan piper is a fella called Matthijs Koene. Would it be a stretch to reach for De Light?

It’s got to be the pan pipes - just don’t ask me what the answer is though!

Looking at their Instagram page.. There is a picture with dries mertens half way down the page. If that means anything.

 

[Sir-Forkington]

What?

Autocorrect; I was referring to Matthijs de Ligt.

That was in reference to Ben Brereton Diaz’s Chilean heritage wasn’t it?

 

[wiggo24]

Has everyone just given up on trying to solve it then ?

It’s got to be more than just a random Napoli player

 

[topper]

Goat cryptic!

“Hearts will play tippy tappy tay”.

Think it’s from that’s amore which is a song about Napoli by dean Martin - Dries Mertens?

The line that proceeds that in the song is ‘Vita Bella’ so we’re going to sign another left back - Remy Vita, 21 year old at Barnsley on loan from Bayern Munich

He's 35 and linked with Royal Antwerp.

I don’t think this is right to be honest as not sure if he is good enough, but I enjoyed the journey to get there anyway:

- ‘It’s Amore’ refers directly to Napoli
- The line after ‘Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-Tay’ is ‘Like a gay tarantella’. Tarantella translates to ‘dance of the spider’
- Napoli brought out a Halloween kit last year with a spider web on it.
- And they also released a video of Spider-Man entering the Napoli stadium ahead of a game against Lazio back in February using the head of none other than attacking midfielder Adam Ounas.
- Plus Adam Ounas had heart issues earlier this year that forced him to not play in the AFCON.

As I said I don’t think it’s him but thought I’d share.

 

[Cochise]

Maybe we are opening a pizzeria for Martinez as he's having to leave his restaurant in Italy behind ?

Bulletspur got more birthdays than the queen!

As for the cryptic, it’s definitely a player…. Somewhere ?
