Transfer to nobody but the best (6,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
second to none
'the best' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'transfer to nobody' is the wordplay.
'transfer' becomes 'second' (I've seen this before).
'nobody' becomes 'none' (not a single person).
'second'+'to'+'none'='SECOND-TO-NONE'
'but' is the link.
(Other definitions for second to none that I've seen before include "Pre-eminent" , "Unsurpassed" , "Nonpareil" , "perfect" , "Incomparable" .)
