One team kept it close. All others pretty much got dominated. DCU is just a local club with the MLS badge. Nothing more. It is widely known that DCU is not a strong developer of talent and inept as an organization.

And look at what is happening to the two players that are in England now from DCU. One is coming back from his loan because Nottingham Forest declined the option to sign him and the other at Bournemouth is off to a very shaky start with reports coming out of England saying that he is very raw (translation = great physical potential but not so good technically and decisionmaking). Don't see any IG status posts about that now do you?? Remember these are players that were on DCUs first team before they left and they aren't really cutting it with the ACADEMY teams in England (both are playing with the u21s). They are both young players and maybe they will get other opportunities. But, it's not a good look for DCU and whether they can prepare a player for that level. These two represent the pinnacle of the pathway at DCU. Loans to two premier league clubs. One is already being sent back and the other seems to be on the same trajectory but the jury is still out/he can still make good of his time at Bournemouth.

The bottom line is this...DCU is not a strong enough organization to consistently produce really top level footballers for Europe. Maybe for the level in the US DCU is ok. But even for the US is questionable. If you have pro ambition as a player, DCU cannot be a long term path for you. Maybe a stepping stone for a player, but if you're in the organization for a while your stock is inevitably and gradually diminishing.

You copy and paste your own comments and respond to them every day multiple times a day

What are you trying to achieve this time that the first hundred times didn't achieve?
You're obviously not feeling better about yourself or your kid's situation

You're not going to stop anyone who's kid is good enough from going to the DC Academy

What's your end goal?

You're so funny with your attack the messenger strategy. A simple way to actually engage in the conversation would be to point out the things DC United Academy does well. If you're familiar with the program (I don't actually think you are), surely there are positives to point out. Prior posters have pointed to, at the very least, the opportunity to practice with and compete against the best players in the region. There's that. What else?

No one with a kid in the DMV good enough for MLS Club Academy selection gives a rats behind what's said in dcum or any other mommy blog.
They're going to DC Academy if offered unless they have personal family reasons.

You using the platform to spit your toxic hate and trying to put down people's kids because of your own insecurities and failures isn't changing that.

why are you so mad? I'm not a super frequent poster here, I mostly post because I find your positions so unsupported and arguments weak. Actually, since all you do is attack people and post inane questions asking for esoteric information, you don't really have an argument. No one is putting down anyone's kids. I think we all agree it would be better for DC United to invest more in the program and the players. They deserve that.

Aren't you the pos that just wrote all that negative crap about the young player from dcu now at Bournemouth?

You make the mistake thinking that only one person is responding to call out your crap

I haven't given any positions or arguments that need support, other than to point out the hypocrisy and biased emotions of your toxic narrative.
You are the one making the accusations and leveling charges without proof other than mainly circumstantial evidence, lies and your biased opinions

If you have a kid at dcu, then talk to them about what they're not doing for your kid.
If you don't have a kid at dcu, then go have a coke and a smile and focus on what actually involves you and your kid.

This note actually makes everyone want to just keep posting. Keep it up. But you can keep responding with hot air and not data???? Riiiiiiiight! This forum is for you but not for anyone else. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NP

Can one of these multiple people against dc show what the defender is saying is wrong about other MLS academies not sending players they developed to big leagues in Europe?

It's been said here and listed many times. Just Philly Union has made 3 times the money on sales of players to European clubs than DCU in the last 5-6 years. The most money DCU has ever made on an academy player sale was Paredes to Wolfsburg for 7 million. The Aaronson brothers alone double that figure. Mark McKenzie triples that figure. When Cavan Sullivan goes it will quadruple the figure. Take all of the sales of DCUs academy players in the last 5-6 years and it wouldn't equal a third of the sales revenue union has had. (Yow, Paredes, akinmboni, pines, nyeman together!) That is just one club and there are many others.
That alone is enough. Couple that with the fact that DCU doesn't actually care about the academy or invest in it and you have the current state of affairs. A poor academy with no results and no real chance of getting better.

I'm the PP here ("they deserve that"). I did not post anything about the player at Bournemouth. I think my most recent post before today is several pages back re: using the Transfermarkt website to compare the numbers of kids on MLS first teams from academies and MLS Next Pro affiliates. No one has made my point about what you're saying better than you, "I haven't given any positions or arguments that need support." This is supposed to be a discussion about "DC United Academy - a strong academy or not." You're admitting you're not saying it's strong, correct? If you have a child at DC United, I'm sorry you feel attacked. I get that. But you can't fix a problem if you don't admit there's a problem. I fail to see how any of offering fewer age groups, having lesser facilities, and putting fewer players into the first team than most other academies, and specifically the two closest ones, is "circumstantial." These are simple, quantifiable, facts.

Where are the figures on the revenue Philly Union made from selling academy players who were at Philly 5+ years to Division 1 clubs in Europe?

Where are the figures and numbers on all the other MLS Club academies that have sold players to Division 1 clubs in Europe?

One team kept it close. All others pretty much got dominated. DCU is just a local club with the MLS badge. Nothing more. It is widely known that DCU is not a strong developer of talent and inept as an organization.

And look at what is happening to the two players that are in England now from DCU. One is coming back from his loan because Nottingham Forest declined the option to sign him and the other at Bournemouth is off to a very shaky start with reports coming out of England saying that he is very raw (translation = great physical potential but not so good technically and decisionmaking). Don't see any IG status posts about that now do you?? Remember these are players that were on DCUs first team before they left and they aren't really cutting it with the ACADEMY teams in England (both are playing with the u21s). They are both young players and maybe they will get other opportunities. But, it's not a good look for DCU and whether they can prepare a player for that level. These two represent the pinnacle of the pathway at DCU. Loans to two premier league clubs. One is already being sent back and the other seems to be on the same trajectory but the jury is still out/he can still make good of his time at Bournemouth.

The bottom line is this...DCU is not a strong enough organization to consistently produce really top level footballers for Europe. Maybe for the level in the US DCU is ok. But even for the US is questionable. If you have pro ambition as a player, DCU cannot be a long term path for you. Maybe a stepping stone for a player, but if you're in the organization for a while your stock is inevitably and gradually diminishing.

You copy and paste your own comments and respond to them every day multiple times a day

What are you trying to achieve this time that the first hundred times didn't achieve?
You're obviously not feeling better about yourself or your kid's situation

You're not going to stop anyone who's kid is good enough from going to the DC Academy

What's your end goal?

You're so funny with your attack the messenger strategy. A simple way to actually engage in the conversation would be to point out the things DC United Academy does well. If you're familiar with the program (I don't actually think you are), surely there are positives to point out. Prior posters have pointed to, at the very least, the opportunity to practice with and compete against the best players in the region. There's that. What else?

No one with a kid in the DMV good enough for MLS Club Academy selection gives a rats behind what's said in dcum or any other mommy blog.
They're going to DC Academy if offered unless they have personal family reasons.

You using the platform to spit your toxic hate and trying to put down people's kids because of your own insecurities and failures isn't changing that.

why are you so mad? I'm not a super frequent poster here, I mostly post because I find your positions so unsupported and arguments weak. Actually, since all you do is attack people and post inane questions asking for esoteric information, you don't really have an argument. No one is putting down anyone's kids. I think we all agree it would be better for DC United to invest more in the program and the players. They deserve that.

Aren't you the pos that just wrote all that negative crap about the young player from dcu now at Bournemouth?

You make the mistake thinking that only one person is responding to call out your crap

I haven't given any positions or arguments that need support, other than to point out the hypocrisy and biased emotions of your toxic narrative.
You are the one making the accusations and leveling charges without proof other than mainly circumstantial evidence, lies and your biased opinions

If you have a kid at dcu, then talk to them about what they're not doing for your kid.
If you don't have a kid at dcu, then go have a coke and a smile and focus on what actually involves you and your kid.

I'm the PP here ("they deserve that"). I did not post anything about the player at Bournemouth. I think my most recent post before today is several pages back re: using the Transfermarkt website to compare the numbers of kids on MLS first teams from academies and MLS Next Pro affiliates. No one has made my point about what you're saying better than you, "I haven't given any positions or arguments that need support." This is supposed to be a discussion about "DC United Academy - a strong academy or not." You're admitting you're not saying it's strong, correct? If you have a child at DC United, I'm sorry you feel attacked. I get that. But you can't fix a problem if you don't admit there's a problem. I fail to see how any of offering fewer age groups, having lesser facilities, and putting fewer players into the first team than most other academies, and specifically the two closest ones, is "circumstantial." These are simple, quantifiable, facts.

Why would someone with a kid at DC or any MLS academy care that haters are hating?

If my kid was at a MLS academy and people from the rest were jealous and envious, that's their problem

Only 1% of kids from top tier academies in Europe are going to top clubs in Europe

Yet we got lunatics on here talking bout MLS academies are churning out kids to Europe

This is lunacy

This is why you post. No one is actually jealous of anyone at DCU because it is a sorry a## academy, and that kills you. And you want so bad for people to think DCU is good because you bought into the bulls#t and believed a lie that was sold to you.

No one said they are churning out players to European academies. Just that many MLS academies are performing better than DCU in EVERY aspect of their academies including sales of academy players.

Say it with all CAPS if you wish

Then provide all the "performing better" objectively measurable criteria, data, stats and metrics

If Academies are graded by the numbers of Professionals produced and revenue from selling academy player products who were developed there, then let's see it for all the academies?
Thats the only way to compare, no?

Actually, you want people to think DCU is so bad.
The PP isn't doing the opposite. You make that up

That said, what bs can DCU sell a parent?
Are they promising to place kids with La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga clubs for millions of dollars?

How about this: In what ways is DC United Academy better than its peers? Please provide objectively measurable criteria, data, stats and metrics.
