If they are then there is zero chance of us getting him.I thought Barcelona was interested in signing him?

Its cool.
We really shouldnt pay that for Shaw tbh, theyre trying to charge double his worth.
that english tax
, i like him but 30m 
and i hear they think they should get even more :sasdisgust:

Its a start. Still think they should have gone through with the Carvahlo signing even though Moyes had already been sacked. Southampton is asking 40m for Shaw now

So no Vela then, but a tidy 12m lbs from Sociedad.
I don't think it was ever Wenget's intention to buy him back, just to stoke up some interest for more money.
Gazidis and Wenget out here, chess not checkers and all that

I've watched Chinatown three times in the last week in a half. I think I have it settled now as my personal favorite movie of all time, ending Casablanca's nine year run.If there's one thing that's been good about the coli lately it's been the movie club
Watching shyt I'd never watch in a million years. To be sure, there hasn't been a good movie picked yet but that's ok with me I suppose.
I saw your thread on the Criterion collection.
How well versed are you on the god of cinema, Kurosawa?

Not at all to be honest.
He's definitely on the list to be watched though. One of the theaters around my way is showing Seven Samurai here soon so I might go check it out. In reality that run time is scaring me, I know it's something I should watch but every time I see that three and a half hour run time...

I thought it was just a ploy his agents to get him to Atletico but we did well and we still have a sell on clause.

Essential we have brought in like 15 million with the sales of Vela, Djourou, and Cesc.

That's how I feel about Godfather 2 sitting on my chromecast right now. I think I posted about it in this thread on sohh when I saw the first one for the first time like four years ago. I'm going to knock out 2 sometime before my month rental runs out. HopefullyNot at all to be honest.

The thing with Kurosawa is....he basically is the god of modern cinema. Things that we consider normal ass storytelling conventions now, he could be credited as if not the inventor then the pioneer. Seven Samurai and Rashomon might be the single two most influential films (with influence that crops up in every single form of storytelling media there is) ever made.

Yeah I keep reading about his influence, just gotta watch and see I suppose.
One director I rarely ever hear people mention is Sidney Lumet. Dude is brilliant and was prolific as fukk but I've brought him up a few times in real life only to be met with
his book is amazing, reading it at the moment.

That's what I'm saying.
I think it's because he was prolific and he didn't have an easily identifiable style to his films. You could be unknowingly watching one of his movies but you'll never hear anyone be like, "yep this is a Lumet film" whereas you hear that over and over with your Spielberg's, Tarantino's, Scorsese's etc etc.
Though in his book he has a whole chapter dedicated to style and what it means for film and he talks about how the best style is style that goes undetected or that isn't very noticeable. And speaking of Kurosawa Lumet has an anecdote about how his film Prince of the City was the most stylized film he made but every critic and review he read didn't pick up on any of it, but one of the few people who picked up on the style of the film was Kurosawa who came up to him somewhere to praise it.
So dude definitely knew what he was doing, it's just that sometimes those tangible details of films can distract us from other things going on.
