That cryptic from the Goat was the least cryptic thing ever posted.

 

[Parkie]

Boom! Villa / Paulinho.
Signed sealed delivered they're ours.
Definitely, maybe

How is that Paulinho as well?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Montserrat Caballe being a Spanish fat lady singer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montserrat_Caballé) is a nice touch: well done, Goaty! (The fat lady has nearly sung about the sale of a Spanish house, yadda yadda...)

So Villa nearly done then!

Oh yeah! Fat lady singing. I never thought of that!

Spelling mistakes are usually allowed but that truly fucks the message!

Stupid autocorrect :-(

 

[Lo Amo Speroni]

I dont get it ;-)

Good man for decoding that in record time

We're signing Freddie Mercury? What a song, though "Born is the Queen of White Hart Lane" etc.

 

[easley91]

Paulinho and Villa, my dream is slowly coming true each day.

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

Read the whole post 3 times and still can't see the cryptic.

What is this, Rockbusters?

Montserrat Caballe sang "Barcelona" with Freddie Mercury - which was the theme song for the 1992 Olympics.

"House for sale" a house could be called a "Villa"

Barcelona. David Villa. Put them together. What have you got?

That's right. Leandro Damiao (Joke).

 

[beats1]

Yeah but it's fun watching someone come up with a perfect reason as to why it clearly means we're signing a player from Gabon when in actuality it's Bobby Zamora.

True I totally agree but I think some people get pissed off with pages of forests and yellow talk, also people have a agenda and they often fit the cryptic to their agenda

 

[Parkie]

Call that a cryptic?
Where were the colours?
No lyrics at all?
Not a single reference to forests?
WTF?

 

[felmani26]

Has Baldini been the tipping point in our favour then for Villa I wonder?

 

[King of Otters]

That's the first cryptic I've ever deduced for myself without waiting for other people to do the hard work.

What a day this is turning out to be.

 

[mill]

A crisp tenner has been tucked into your virtual garter. Spunk me some ITK.

That post makes me nauseated

 

[Parkie]

Hang on, there's something going on here...

An international tournament, signing playerS (potentially) ... Didn't Levy always say that was a no-go?

 

[smudger]

villa and paulinhio......im starting to get excited and it's not even july

every window i let this happen to me when i promise myself i wont, i feel like a piss head falling off the wagon

Noodles has nothing to worry about, although his were just plain batshit crazy!

You didn't have to do it!

I take issue with that. Oddie's 'Steve' cryptic was much less cryptic. People were solving it before he finished pressing the 'post now' button.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Villa and Paulinho in the first couple weeks of the window would be unreal.

It could let us shift our primary focus on shipping players out and then re-assessing available funds once that's done.
