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.

Lucas Hernandez to Bayern for $85M Euro by KnightlyRevue
This will occur January 1. I am perplexed by this move for Atletico as Lucas is an academy kid who has always been pretty clear about his desire to stay at Atletico. They do not have a replacement of his caliber on the squad and they have always been reluctant to chase high transfer fees. A head scratching move.
For Bayern, I think they are getting a fantastic and versatile defender who is only beginning to show what he can do on the field. He had a very good, if not great, world cup for the French.
