The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - Mingewrangler! 19th August 2015

Awful cryptic haha

 

[joelstinton14]

I think with bera, Utd are the side to look out for, like us they have gone into the season with just one striker , so I hope we get this tied up soon. Champions league and home grown quota might swing things.

But ITK seems positive.

 

[raggy]

The answer to the cryptic was pretty obvious very early on. Not sure why we went on discussing it for so long.

 

[robbiedee]

Cabbages………."Two cabbages, one smaller than the other but from the same grocery"

Cabbage = Green for Ireland and Green for Mexico, smaller was 'little pea' same grocery was United.

As revealed previously, the first cabbage was Evans

The second Cabbage was……….Hernandez

I'd like to thank @Rob for putting us all through this lengthy agony View attachment 19820

...yeah you'd better run!!! Those cabbages are shit!

Wouldn't have been particularly thrilled at the prospects of 'past their sell by date' produce from that grocer.

Have @Rob and @Trix been attending the same ITK Cryptic Course together...??? It'd explain a few things...


...that I'm really shit at cryptics mainly!

 

[Japhet]

Can't believe the amount of conjecture and excitement around what turned out to be Evans and Hernandez. Both of them are as dull as cabbage though so it was fairly obvious really.

 

[Cyspurs]

Hernandez should have been our top target last 3 windows. He is exactly what we have been missing. A poacher!

Because the obvious answer wasn't very exciting so people wanted to keep guessing to find a link to players we actually want!

 

[Sum Monsterism]

Don't get all the Hernandez hate. I think he'd be a pretty good addition.

 

[MattPhilpott]

I'm still believing it was Kramer and Son. That was too good for it not to be right. It would have been an amazing cryptic and the answers fitted too well.

I spent a solid hour of my time gathering the Info for that Kramer and Son cryptic answer...and now they tell me it's fucking Hernandez?!?!

Fairs...

 

[Rob]

For clarity, I'd have been very happy with Hernandez. And it wasn't me that came up with that cryptic!

 

[millsey]

Chelsea pulling a Willian on Utd with Pedro may have ramifications on the Berahino deal, but I'd expect (hope!) Utd to be aiming higher for their forward target. Good to see JJ still confident anyway.

As for the could happen sooner, could be numerous things:-

Outgoings - especially unwanted Ade
Other teams officially pulling out
WBA wanting cash early to make more moves
Fazio deal progressing
Berahino going on strike
Levy wins Euromillions

If they don't want Pedro why would they want Berahino? Pedro is an awesome player

 

[Cyspurs]

Oi villon

Nai Villon. He was good enough for Man Utd and Real Madrid and considering his actual game time his goals to minutes ratio was fucking awesome, but he aint good enough for us? Bet you wouldnt have minded if you had him on the bench on Sat when Stoke equalised!

Well done to all who had this spot on. I didn't guess it, and it was only when I saw hints of confirmation given to others guesses that I caved in.
Worth noticing that the cabbage builds on the blu and yellow heritage, since green is the colour of the national shirt of both Evans & Hernandez, hence both cryptics point to shirt colours of some sort.

 

[Mr Pink]

No offence Pinky, but you are just assuming the cabbage was Hernandez, as it's not been confirmed, and stating it as fact just winds me up as others jump on your post and continue to spread it as fact.

The only way round it would be

I didn't really say it was fact, I said it was obvious that it was Hernandez.

 

[wallyjakeman]

Thank god we didn't go for Evans.

 

[Stoof]

Can't believe the amount of conjecture and excitement around what turned out to be Evans and Hernandez. Both of them are as dull as cabbage though so it was fairly obvious really.

Was amusing watching you all fumble over it too.

 

[Mr Pink]

The fact that Hernandez and Evans were considered as early targets scares the shit out of me... What the fuck were we thinking.

Agree. Scary to think that this was our plan after lessons have been learned lol.

 

[Sportformation]

If they don't want Pedro why would they want Berahino? Pedro is an awesome player

I think the fact that Pedro doesn't want them is why they suddenly don't want him.

 

[Lilbaz]

Ha, i told you it was fruend! Yay me.
