Because when people are evaluating where to place younger players, they should be aware that those players are often not developed sufficiently well to retain, and that other clubs with a demonstrable record of player development at younger ages are good choices. That’s why.[/quote]

Just because a club takes the best players from a wider area at U15/U16 and consequently drops some of the homegrown kids does not mean that that club does not or cannot develop younger players.

Not every kid will develop into a top player no matter how good a club is at developing them - and inevitably other clubs will also develop kids.

 It’s not bad to import players. But it is misleading to claim that sending players to college who arrived at a club at u15 or u16 shows that the club develops young talent well. Those things have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

I don't agree that those things have absolutely nothing to do with each other - my guess is you would find a pretty good correlation between quality of development of young talent and sending players to college but I agree that it is not necessarily the case.

However it is even more misleading to claim that a club does NOT develop young players well just because they import some players at older ages.[/quote]
