[quote=Nova2Euro]Right. That's the thing. A player with a dual passport can move any time they choose. But why pull a kid out of an environment where they are thriving and progressing towards a pro? It's tough to move as a teenager. Especially if they're not comfortable with the language (passport notwithstanding), they'll miss out on valuable coaching in the formative mid-teen years. That's why 99% of the time players will stay where they are thriving until they are ready to sign a first-team contract. Even with a first-team contract, they will probably still go out on loan or play on a lower-level team within the club. btw, the DCU academy player who went to AZ Alkmaar is now back in the US on a college team. That's not where AZ hopes to send its players.[/quote]
