Surely it's Tom Carroll to West Ham


Alice in Wonderland Lewis Carroll

Pig turned left = west (if your facing north-yeah I know).

 

[WiganSpur]

Direction and pig = South ham (pton) ??

West Ham?

 

[Breezer]

Poor guy. Hope we don't do that to him.

Yeh i feel for Big Sam as well

 

[Indisguise]

because thats where the hole took her

I mean why are we connecting the cryptic to Alice in Wonderland?

 

[Spurs' Pipe Dreams]

​

Morning all

His boy looked on in wonder and asked in which direction did the pig go?

Laters

Lewis to Southampton

Or Lewis Holtby and Tom Carroll to Southampton

 

[Mr Pink]

Really wouldn't want to see Dawson at West Ham...really hope its destination Hull for him.

trix on samuel umtiti:
Been told we are interested. This has come from my mate via an agent, but not one of the regular ones so salt required.
He is young, but he certainly fits the profile of ball playing CB we seem to be looking at.

I'm expecting @Spursking to enlighten us all about the virtues of Umtiti...

Also plays at left back doesn't he? Scored a rasper against us from left back in the Europa league for Lyon. Me likey.

Ahh, that was him then!

Was indeed a belter.

 

[pallettWHL]

Umtiti certainly seems like a better fit for us than Fazio does.

 

[bomberH]

If we sign Umtiti, we should do the decent thing & try and sign Fanni too.

 

[Greenspur]

Good call. Big Sam collects centre backs doesn't he, I reckon he would play 11 of them in a formation if he could get away with it.

Who gave you permission to call him Big Sam? It's Fat Sam to you, if you don't mind.

copy and paste the quote into Google and all the returns refer to Alice in Wonderland. I can't find reference to that exact text in the book and i have never read it but certainly Google seems to be pretty certain that the quote is related to it.

 

[Hoopspur]

Bit late to the party. Someone is for the chop, we're bringing home the bacon, oh and we're signing Rodney Trotter....

 

[felmani26]

Let's go the whole hog and bring Kevin Ball out of retirement too!

 

[SonicSarr]

West Ham centre back Winston Reid? Just another option.

 

[Greenspur]

Umtiti certainly seems like a better fit for us than Fazio does.

Fazio is 6 ft 5; Umtiti is 5 ft 11. I wonder if that will be a factor.

 

[tottenhamlad]

Welcome to the forum btw. Good first post!

Thanks, I actually joined in July 2008! Just been quiet.

After the post that received a winner rating from Rob I think it may be:

His boy - as in Pochettino's boy, Musacchio/Fazio.

Looked on in wonder - self explanatory.

Which direction will the pig go - Southampton or Westham

The player in question refers to the quote from Pig and Pepper Alice Adventures in Wonderland! Written by Lewis Caroll, real name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - Dawson (who has always dodged leaving until now)!

That's my best effort!

Google is just homing in on the word "wonder".
