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.[/quote]

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?

But it's actually.mutliple people posting.  You're wrong.  [/quote]

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?

cause telling us dc ain't doing it when nobody ain't doing it is useless info[/quote]

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.  [/quote]
