about what?

About it being nothing and a coincidence

 

[Amo]

You're right.

Is that the solution?

edit: damn you.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

About it being nothing and a coincidence

so as of now, nobody's got it right?

 

[ItsBoris]

Oh I thought it was solved already "daws off"?

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

keep up to speed

Your just jealous you didnt solve it

 

[gazzeh]

You're right.

Not sure if srs

EDIT: Doh. Well done A&C for clogging a page up. ;0

 

[Jospur]

Soldado could do it imo

I have a man crush on Pirlo, but he would play too deep to work in this system as a replacement for Eriksen, and I don't think Pirlo is chasing/pressing anyone. Pirlo could work next to a Schneiderlin or Capoue as one of the CMs.

If only we still had Hudd...

RE : the cryptic.

Probably nothing, I'm sure it's nothing, or maybe it's something, but Benny Hill's character in The Italian Job was named Professor Simon Peach, the journalist "breaking" a lot of the Soton transfer news (including MS/JR imminent to us and Townsend £10m bid) is also named Simon Peach, a coincidence perhaps?

And Koeman looks like Benny Hill-I think you have nailed it!

I thought it would be tbh.

As of now all we've had is variations on two theories. With a sprinkling of a few fanciful fairy tales from a handful of complete crackpots. We're still due several people proudly proclaiming that it's clearly "You're were on supposed to blow the bloody doors (Daws) off" in a style Sherlock Holmes would be proud of and possibly, just possibly, one or two people will tell us it's to do with Turin like they were revealing the long lost secret minutes of the last ever meeting of the Eccles Gnu Fingering Society.

Haha, although I prefer what someone said yesterday, that he looks like the offspring of a Gordon Strachan/Alex McLeish combo.

I honestly don't see the point of cryptics. If it's info that can be shared, then share. If it's too sensitive to share, then don't share it. Surely anything else just causes pointless debate and a stick for people to beat ITKs with.

Anyone picking up that stick won't last long

We don't often go cryptic and when we do, as everyone knows (or ought to by now) The Goat fesses up as soon as it's possible to do so. In this case, it was a personal choice, I could have posted nothing at all, but being sick and tired of people harping on about Remy or Dawson (pointless debate), I felt a little freshening up and a change of pace would be nice. Even if equally pointless.

With a little patience and lighthearted humor, I think it's all in good fun.

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say

my neck hurts

'Get a bloomin move on' is the original name of the song.

We're signing a player from Club Social, Cultural y Deportivo Blooming?

 

[Conchurr]

Rémy julienne was a stuntman in the Italian job. Previous itk linked us with rémy? Grasping at straws?

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Maybe it just means we are headed for a cliffhanger on deadline day....

So...
Self preservation = Schneiderlin playing to avoid further conflict
Italian Job = Daws Off misquote, or theft (good deal?) coming from Italy. We have been linked with players from Italy including Destro (Roma - Baldini's favourite club to steal from).
