This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Apparently the new thing in the crazy stupid transfer market by miamioh_irishfan
Is to do deals a full year in advance.
Naby Keita to Liverpool in 2018 after they agree to pay his release clause plus some unknown, but definitely massive, premium.
Kylian Mbappe is going on loan to PSG for the season with the right to buy him for €160m next season, likely in an effort to skirt FFP regulations.
Perhaps Barca will agree to take Countinho for next year, leaving him in Liverpool for this season?
Bizarre times, these.
