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.

De acuerdo amigo, unfortunately Ha-mez is at Munchen for now by Irish2003

I completely forgot to mention that in my first reply as he would be the perfect guy to blend back in the post-Ronaldo - it hurts me typing that - and IMO fits so much better then Eden (I agree with you; love the guy & want to make it work, but it's at best a 2-4 year rental) as another guy who can link the midfield, hit free kicks, and chip in a few dozen goals. As HTown mentioned above, we kinda poached both Courtois from Chelsea & Cyborg from Munchen for free, and while Flo objectively (2 year loan with buy back on *our* end was a deal ND's "leadership" could make) really, really messed up James, I think we'll survive after an ugly transition year in 18-19. My other major elephant in the room is Qatar - Barca tried to swipe Verratti from them and they instead ante'd up a ridiculous amount for Neymar, and given that Kylian is the one player I'd drop money for but he is also at his hometown (albeit second tier vs EPL/La Liga/Serie A) club and has owners who make Flo look like a vagrant, I think we may have to wait a little. With that said, I'll take the 2 best CM's in the world, Bale, 2 of the best 5 GK's, Isco, the most fun wingback (R. Carlos had a cannonn of a shot but Marcelo is much craftier) ever, and a bunch of young talent against the world. HMyNM.
