Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Chung was a lot better value than Mayuka, and let's not even bother mentioning Forren. But yeah certainly not infallible.

 

I have some hope for Mayuka still, considering he's young, and who knows what happened with Forren. Can't really comment on that one.

(Also I spoke very highly of both before they signed )

 

Well if Wanyama's passing deteriorates to the point where he's a liability then I'm blaming you.

 

Well it hasn't yet.

Just getting that in before Rabbitspectrum jumps in with his inexplicable Wanyama hate.

 

Lovren was a **** buy as well wasn't he?

 

Well, you have to ask yourself, is this squad good enough for the Champions League..? Answer: No, not yet. some additions are required. If these rumours are true then Saints are just putting the feelers out to build the quality of the squad. Is that unreasonable..?

 

As I said I have been told we have 20-30m before player sales to spend in Jan if it's needed.

 

There you go, not unlimited, but not exactly lacking either. Where did you hear this Beef..?

 

I think it is unreasonable to start trying to assemble a Champions League squad at this stage. We'd be getting ahead of ourselves. Improve positions with signings when there is a need for it, and no sooner. Baby steps.

 

Same guy that told of the transfer budget in August and told me about Wanyama.

 

Does he have a connection with the club or does he know someone who does..?

 

Rather not say in public TSS.

 

Not a problem.

On another subject, just seen Ibrohimovic's 4 goals for PSG this evening. The 3rd one was staggering.

 

Not on sky there isn't!

 

The third one was an absolute corker, no doubt he's the best striker in the world at this point.

On Astori; I would quite like him here as he is a definite upgrade on Fonte (as painful as it is saying that). Cagliari aren't doing too badly in Serie A this season so whether they'd sell is clearly an issue, as is whether Astori would want to leave them.

 

Ibrahimovic's first goal was perfect timing and a superb cross. The second was very similar, and he let it pass through legs before flicking just inside the post.. The third one has to be seen, and the fourth he lashed into the corner, which he made look very easy, and it wasn't.

Here's a link to see them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJwCwdfQu-o

Be quick because all the good videos have gone.

 

See French football is due to go on strike in protest against a proposed 75% tax on millionaire footballers. Don't know details, but can't be right to target one profession only.

 

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was on last night. There's a good chance you've seen that too many times as well because it's on all the time, but good film anyway.

 

Life of Pi is on Sky at the moment. That's a good movie.

Gangster Squad is on as well. I wouldn't bother so much with that one.

 

Could be the right time to transfer in players from a particular league though! Get busy Nicola!
