Hot Fuzz was good the first time you watch it.
Hot Fuzz becomes goat the second time you watch it when you realise almost every piece of dialogue is foreshadowing.
Also fantastic finale with a lot of inside jokes if you've watched a lot of action movies.
I'd rather just stick with The Good Wife. Top show.

Bring me Vietto
I'd kill for someone who can play with, or instead of, Sturridge

Suen go and penetrate your iphone or tell your parents about Angola or who knows what.
Just don't talk about stuff you have no clue about.
(Well, that's never going to happen with you anyway...)

To be honest I hate film lists because there's so many good movies out there putting a top 5 is criminal.
Most movies you guys have listed would've definitely been in mine.

I'm on a Mallick and McQueen kick right now. Wonderful directors.
Malick, McQueen and Nichols are my favorite directors working right now. Can't wait for what they all do next.

As long as they're already good enough to play, having prospects is boss. I'd prefer someone who is definitely ready to slot straight into the first 11 every game, but those guys would either be unwilling to join us, too expensive, or unlikely to improve much
True, it's just impossible to know.
Hunger tis his best film (well feature film)
Stills in that film are legit bits of art in themselves. Makes sense considering his background
Gonna truck through his short films one of these days

Another thing to consider is that with Rodger's dismal transfer record, if we get it wrong it'd be better to get it wrong on a player who will still be worth a lot when we offload him, and is young enough that we're not paying him £100k+ a week
Vietto
Gravelord Neto
Can't think of many suitable centrebacks or DMs who would be available midseason. Not even sure that Vietto is available tbh
Raheem is a prospect. Coutinho was a prospect. Sturridge was a prospect.
Although in a post-Ozil world I see your rationale.

Honestly, I didn'teven regard Sturridge as a prospect even though he was still young.
Thought he was selfish, arrogant, and a waste of past potential, who'd flushed his potential down the toilet when he joined Chelsea.
Wonder how good he'd be now if he hadn't spent so long on the bench (if that) between 18 and 22.
I definitely still get excited about prospects, I was about Chambers. Have come to realize its near impossible to predict how players will perform when coming to the premier league.
Chambers hadn't really done anything, though. I suppose a case by case basis is necessary. Rather than lumping the signings of anyone below the age of 23 into a pejorative sub-group.
For all intensive purposes this Vietto lad has been shining in La Liga this season, after arriving with great praise from Argentina. Our link to him is probably nonsense but there's a reason why a few clubs are sniffing around him. You buy now and you might treble your money in four years, and get a hell of a player to boot.
Chambers was absurd because his value isn't skyrocketing (you bought him for a premium) and he's not demonstrated the sort of consistency or talent Arsenal need in defence.
Just doesn't really make much sense, especially if he's going to be one of five defenders.
Penny I feel insulted and hurt. I sincerely believed that we shared a strong friendship.

Did anyone actually believe that Thorgan was more promising than Eden?
Buying young defenders for big money is somthing I'd try and avoid unless they're attacking fullbacks.
Overall it seems like defenders are all over the place these days in the main. They can be average at 22, great at 25. They can be great at 20, shit at 23. They can have a poor game, then be targetted and go on to be shite for ages as they're seen as a weak spot. They can be great one season, move to a new club and be utterly horrendous.
If you get it right though, you're set for years. I don't even know any more how clubs judge defenders. You buy one with all the right stats, and they fall apart in a different unit and coaching setup. You spend £50m on a shit one because they look assured when they bring the ball out of defense.
Buying defenders has become the new buying strikers from Holland

I'm aware some of these films aren't exactly the most acclaimed, but they'll always stick with me.
Then again, when it comes to favourite movies, that changes depending on the mood I guess.
Edit: Thorgan nooooo. I wanted to see him play alongside Eden at least once.
m8 u just chose five of the most acclaimed films of all time

South Park the movie
Interstellar - Yes I liked it that much, although I can see why people don't
Batman Begins (BB or TDKR, hard to pick)
Return of the King (could pick any though, really)
Jurassic Park

I'm sad I never got to meet Kermit. Sounds like a character I'd hit it off with.

This list is as good as Parma's league position
