[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A great article on the possibility of MLS becoming a selling league, increase youth development, free training at MLS Academies for the best players, selling rights to players for transfer fees.

"The news out of the state of the league regarding becoming a “selling league,” favoring training compensation, combined with the earlier reports of eliminating geographic homegrown restrictions is welcome and overdue but it could have a transformative impact. It was one of the most important developments in any recent state of the league address. It is the latest example of the global market pulling MLS in a direction that will really help it grow."

Garber is always looking for new ways to screw young US players.  There are good reasons as to why our best young players refuse to sign with MLS and go to Europe or Mexico.   Lack of training compensation and solidarity fees are the only thing that gives our young players an edge in European market.   MLS sucks at developing young talent and I don't see it changing in the future unless they break up the single entity and make an open system. [/quote]

There's no incentive to develop young talent in MLS. Teams in the best selling leagues, like Brazil, actively scout for good prospects and compete to develop them,  because they get to keep the transfer fees. Garber wants you to believe that a couple of lucky discoveries mean MLS has arrived,  but they're exceptions. The league still spends more money on washed- up Euro and USMNT players.

That's what this initiative is trying to create.  Incentive for MLS Academies to develop talent.
