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.

Fulham didn’t have a choice by fortune_smith
Harvey wasn’t old enough to be on a professional contract, and when he turned 16 there was enough “big club” interest in him that he didn’t want to sign with Fulham.
Fulham certainly wanted to sign Harvey to a multi-year deal and would have provided him regular opportunities to play, albeit currently in the Championship, which is an excellent proposition for an up-and-coming young player.
I don’t know all the rules, but, by virtue of developing Harvey, Fulham will benefit from future sales of Harvey for the next several years to the extent there are any.
Hopefully, Harvey will get sufficient first-team opportunities at Liverpool over the next 2-3 seasons to continue his rapid ascent.
