[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man city women will either sign players directly from their youth teams (U17-U19) into the first team (if the player is youth national team caliber), or sign established players from around the league or Europe.

A 22 year old out of the US is not signing with Manchester Anything... unless you you would have gone #1, #2, or #3 in the NWSL draft but decided to go to Man City instead. [/quote]

You have to remember the USWNT contract requires the players to play domestically. They let them play oversea because of the pandemic. Wonder how the new agreement will address this. [/quote]

That's not true at all. Dahlkamper is playing for Manchester City. Press and Heath are currently without a club. Macario has never played domestically and skipped the NWSL draft to play in Lyon. Not sure where you got that idea from but it isn't accurate.

That said, there is huge incentive for them to play in the NWSL because they can get more money and the desire to support the league. But the competition increase in Europe is going to attract better players from the U.S. who want to play Champions League and that's a good thing because all the European countries are improving a significant rate due to the improvements in club football.[/quote]

Look Jill Ellis made it clear to USWNT player if you go overseas you will not be on the USWNT. It changed when she moved on. During the pandemic Vlatko allowed players to go without penalties.

[quote] Several players had done stints in Europe before, of course, but the arrival of five of the 2019 World Cup winners' top stars -- Alex Morgan, Tobin Heath, Rose Lavelle, Christen Press, and Sam Mewis -- to England was a marked difference to previous moves that had drawn criticism and [b]even seen national team careers threatened.[/b]

In 2018, Portland Thorns and USWNT star Crystal Dunn cut her time at Chelsea short over fears her national career would suffer, while Morgan (Lyon) and Carli Lloyd (Manchester City) also previously faced criticism after leaving for opportunities abroad.

[b]Former United States manager Jill Ellis was a strong advocate of players remaining in the USA and the USWNT's existing pay structure makes playing outside of the U.S. quite complicated for players, especially if they don't have the support of U.S. Soccer.[/b] The federation pays the players' international salaries and game bonuses, as well as the club salaries for USWNT players who play in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). While teams own the league, U.S. Soccer are employed through a contract to manage aspects of the league. This includes paying national team salaries for some players as well as salaries for at least 22 other players. In exchange for these salaries, the teams and the league limit the amount of players who can go overseas, though this contract is revisited periodically and the next review is due at the end of 2021. It all means that the USSF has an extra interest in its big stars staying home and playing in the States

However, these controls have been loosening in the last year due to a number of internal and external factors. The league has been looking to lessen the control U.S. Soccer has on its players while [b]Ellis' successor as USWNT coach, Vlatko Andonovski, has said he sees the benefits of players getting experience abroad.[[/b]/quote]
