I thought sunflower was a reference to gio going to yellow submarines

 

[Paolo10]

Swap Gio with Rossi Edit: or Nilmar?

Rossi out for the season anyways?

 

[Boots22]

Rossi is out for the season

POTL says sunflower and the Goat says rhododendron.

Sunflowers are from the aster family and rhododendrons are azaleas so both in their way are 'A' flowers. Perhaps we've lined up Andy Flower to drop his England cricket manager job and take over from Harry.

Of course in cryptic crosswords 'a flower' commonly indicates a river so perhaps we're signing Rio Ferdinand.

Not that POTL has ever shown the slightest indication that he is aware of the proper conventions for cryptic clues. He seems to prefer a definition of 'cryptic' entirely of his own devising along the lines of "My 1st is in 'pompous' but not in 'twunt'" thus maintaining the linguistic relativism and ontological pluralism that we all so appreciate.

Rather spiffing old bean, although quite omonorously outlandish! :shrug:

SUNFLOWER Lyrics
Artist(Band):Paul Weller


I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes,
Along winding streets we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind
To take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheatfield I'd run through
That I'd run through -

I know how much POTL loves his music- any clues here?
And I miss you so - I miss you so
No you're gone I feel so alone
I miss you so

I'd send you a flower - a sunflower bright
`Cause you cloud my days messing up my nights

And all the way up to the top of your head
Sunshower kisses I felt we had

And I miss you so - Oh baby I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so low - oh I miss you so, I do

But I miss you so - Oh darling I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so low - oh I said I miss you so, I do

All I gotta do is think of you - and I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - Oh I miss you so

zzz at working out what sunflower means... goat cryptics are worth guessing... Sunflower probably means nothing till summer... get excited if one or two players leave otherwise forget it...

That's the biggest indication by a country mile regarding the possibility of incomings.

 

[ajspurs]

Yep, just like it was in the summer. With Jenas coming back, Bentley still on the books, Bassong still present and possibly at least one of Gio/Pav still being at the club I have a feeling it will be the same this coming summer, unfortuantely. Hopefully we can sell whoever we will need to sell pretty quick.

Berbatov

 

[Paolo10]

Oh shit, forgot about Bentley and JJ.

We're fucked now, they'll grow old at the fucking Lodge unless Levy takes the hit.

 

[Paolo10]

Berbatov

That was my suspicion, wishful thinking perhaps.

[rebrab]

Hey, did you get my email a few days back?

Although a different position, Wenger is also giving oxlade chamberlain (18) his chance and i must say he was impressive.

your mail box is full mate! Need to delete a few

 

[nightgoat]

We gave Kane a go (he didn't impress me), perhaps we should give him a run

We gave Kane a go in the Europa League, we don't have that anymore and the FA Cup (a competition we have a very good chance of winning) is getting to the stage where there's only Premier League and Championship clubs left in.

Good shout. Think Shaq Colthurst could be another worth looking at there aswell. Really powerful lad and has impressed me in the games I've seen. Speaking to Cardiff City coaches following the FA Youth Cup match, they too were very impressed with him and thought he was the difference between the sides due to his quality on the ball in the final third. Just a thought. Im sure HR and co know all about these players far more than I do and will give them their opportunity if and when they are ready.

I think we should give Shaquille Coulthirst a go, simply because he has a well cool name.

 

[Mouse!]

And how I long for that sharp wind

Billy Sharp

 

[opensaysme]

That was my suspicion, wishful thinking perhaps.

Wouldn't be at all groundbreaking if that is what POTL sunflower cryptic was.

I posted up some information a few day's ago that we'd been in touch with his representatives.

Either way there are so many possibilities.

Should we sign anyone POTL could link it some how to sunflower.

 

[yido_number1]

Oh shit, forgot about Bentley and JJ.

I think if they get fit they go back to their respective clubs... not really a problem till the summer...

at least most windows our "dead wood" is getting better and better...

Bentley loan was terminated so he is back on our payroll.

 

[Bill_Oddie]

Well how about signing an up-and-coming superstar forward?

Looks like we would be going for young, to breed. (Or very old, to cover.)

You mean like Jordan Rhodedendron... sorry, Rhodes?

 

[codspur]

Its all gone quiet today perhaps POTL is down the garden centre again
