It is intriguing いとおかし

[coachtfd]

I repeat: underpriced value is in the Asian market, especially Japanese players at the moment. South Korea is on the come up too. And some of these leagues are attracting promising talent from South America and Eastern Europe, too, because they can guarantee playing time. Even if you’re just getting squad players for depth, why pay 60M when you can pay 30M? I would’ve happily paid what Liverpool paid for Endo over what United paid for Casemiro. That insane win ratio stat when Endo plays hasn’t dropped by the way. You want to talk about value? 😂

imma be honest,

with the amount of warnings i got before reading brutal, i thought it was going to be much much well... brutal. and it was pretty explicit but I expected more gore. I got less warnings reading some of junji ito's works than I got reading the anal cross. not dissapointed at all tbh but just more suprised I suppose.

My 3 Favourite Delinquent J Dramas

1) Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! (From Today, It's My Turn!!)

Pic by My Drama List

Two transfer students, Mitsuhashi Takashi (Kaku Kento) and Itou Shinji (Ito Kentaro), are tired of their normal life and unpopularity. They decide to take their arrival at a new school as an opportunity to reinvent their image, and become delinquents!

Itou's sense of honour clashes with Mitsuhashi's mischievous ways, they initially antagonize one another but soon become allies against common enemies- other delinquents, who see their arrival as a threat, throwing the school into chaos.

Lesson Learnt : No matter how good you are, there will always be someone who is better than you.

2) My Boss My Hero

Sakaki Makio (Nagase Tomoya) is a tough 27-year-old school drop-out who is forced by his Yakuza father to return to high school to complete his studies before he could inherit his father's business, while his intellectually smarter brother is vying for the same position.

Things started out rough as his violent temperament and patience is constantly tested and pushed beyond the limits, as he struggles to find motivation to study. Just when he's beginning to get the hang of it, his old enemy from his past threatened to blow his cover.

Lesson Learnt : It's never too late to turn your life around no matter how old you are if you are not embarrass to re-learn.

3) Yankee-kun to Megane-chan

Pic by drama.eklablog.com/

Daichi Shinagawa (Narimiya Hiroki) is a juvenile delinquent who has no motivation in studying and whose family has no expectations of him. In the streets, he's always being target by rivals who wants to challenge him for his reputation as being the toughest of all.

His life began to change when a new student, Hana Adachi (Riisa Naka) befriends him and he finds himself unwittingly swept up into her world, helping other outcasts like them to find meaning and place in school but without realising that she too has a dark past.

Lesson Learnt : People will judge you no matter what you do, so you might as well be comfortable being yourself.

Rahul what are our top priorities this transfer window? Players out as well as players in? 🎤

sooooo sorry for getting around to this ask so late laura but this is an excellent question and it’s time for me to get on my metaphorical soapbox!

so we’ve been quite quick and ruthless with outgoings so far which i’m taking as a good sign because one of levy’s greatest weaknesses is hanging onto players for too long in order to find a club that matches our original price/valuation for them. this can also be a strength and certainly is one of the reasons we upgraded from being stuck in that ‘selling club’ category but sometimes we’ve just got to cut our losses and move on.

as for players still here that i think are going or have to go: gil, emerson, regui, spence, ndombele, possibly gio and hoj. the first four i think are as good as gone—sorry to all the bryan lovers but unfortunately he just hasn’t found the heights with us that we wanted; eme is the goat and i actually wouldn’t mind him staying with us for the pure vibes and to keep us firmly winning the no look pass league; regui it’s over sorry; spence was another who never quite reached that level with us for various reasons. ndombele… yeah we need to just run his contract down and cut our losses. that one stings because on his day he’s an unplayable footballer but he just never really wants to be on his day.

as for gio and hoj… torn on these two. i wouldn’t mind keeping gio around in the sense that i wouldn’t necessarily be disappointed if he wasn’t sold this summer but unfortunately he’s made of swiss cheese. he’s a great player and frequently shows up for argentina and has also looked bright for us in his few apps this season but he’s just not consistent enough. i’d rather have someone like bergvall take over his role (potentially, he might play deeper) or scout another player to be a maddison understudy so that we can provide him some proper competition. as for hojbjerg… he is a good player. he’s very professional and he has the quality to hit a pass from deep that’s lacking in the squad but this system is just not for him i think. he’s exposed in his role and i don’t think he deals with it well.

as for incomings, well. for me order of business would be at least one more reinforcement in attack, be it at striker or on the wing; a 6 for the midfield despite the lack of proper realistic options on the market right now and fb depth/competition. would be very nice to have a lcb backup too. i think people are exaggerating a little with our striker need or options, a lot of the players we’ve linked to imo are not better than richy. the priority on that would be more depth in case of injuries. a 6 to compete and rotate with biss (who was honestly imo fine in our last few games) would be veeeery nice especially if said 6 can hit a long pass and switch the game up a bit. and fb depth is very much needed! especially at rb since we’ve seen micky can play lb well in a pinch. but our 2 fullbacks are pretty young and it would be healthy for them to deal with competition in order to not grow complacent.

as for specific players, honestly i’m not necessarily picky. i have miles more faith in our scouting system now than i did a few windows back so i know that even if we don’t get our number one target, we’ll have a couple more lined up behind the scenes that will turn out to be excellent (vic over raya, micky over tapsoba, etc.). i have to say so far our striker links don’t necessarily excite me but that’s just because i don’t think there’s a realistic 9 in the market we could go for who’s better than richy as said! also we have veliz too. probably our number one problem is that we need more homegrown players because of uefa rules, it’ll be interesting to see how we circumvent that. a lot of incoming players are either younger than the registration age or are homegrown in some comps i think (e.g. pape)? i’ll talk more on specific players i think would be good for us post euros once we start getting some solid links!! but those 3 areas are places we need to reinforce in if we want to be competitive this year imo 🤍

(bonus thought: send the youngsters out on loan! the ones who are ready are jamie donley, alfie dorrington, will lankshear, and perhaps even tyrese hall. will needs to learn to adapt in leagues where his physicality isn’t better than the centrebacks defending him. jamie’s too good for pl2 level and needs a championship loan to start properly playing men’s football. alfie is just coming back from injury so we might wait on him but again he keeps that back line composed and is very romero-like in the way he dictates play imo, would be interesting to see him do it a couple levels higher. tyrese just progressed to starting for the u21s regularly so maybe we wait a half year before sending him out on loan? imo he has proper potential to play the biss role in the midfield and he gets involved in attacking play a lot more too. would rly wish for us to prioritise academy development in this window too considering we have a proper crop of talent!)

A monster by any other name would spook as sweet... it's THE MANSTER (1959) aka SŌTŌ NO SATSUJINKI aka THE SPLIT from directors George Breakston and Kenneth G. Crane!

An American/Japanese co-production, this schlocky-titled film is anything but as it tackles themes of masculinity and alcoholism.

Anime Expo is quite big as a convention

I wonder if any of you are going there. Yana T’s editor remarked that Black Butler is pretty popular abroad.

Daisuke Ono, animation producer Yoshito Ito and director Kenjiro Okada are invited to appear and hold a talk on July 6 at 2 pm in the Diamond Ballroom.

Many big names in the Japanese voice acting industry are going to be there too like Takahiro Sakurai (Claude of Kuroshitsuji II, Geto Suguru, Rohan, Shogo of Psycho Pass, etc.), Asami Seto (Kugisaki Nobara), Hiroki Nanami (Hamayu of The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master, Oscar of The Rose of Versailles), Enoki EnoJun Junya (yeah him!).

So yes, it is really huge. And if you have the pass then lucky you!
