[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about the best funded.  It's about a system that actually tries to develop the kids in a consistent and proven way. There may be academies that have even less funding than DCU but have a commitment to real development that DCU doesn't have.  [/quote]

Look at the list of MLS teams with the most homegrown signings.  All of them have bigger funding for their academy kids than DCU.

If Rocky had trained in a real gym like Drago maybe he wouldn't have had such a hard fight.  [/quote]

If it was all about funding the Division 1 in European leagues wouldn't be littered with players from small, low budget, no budget African, South American and CONCACAF youth clubs

Dumb.  The top tier programs in Europe take the kids out of lower tier programs that are talented to develop them to make money.  They aren't already developed.  Of course they have developed skills elsewhere but they get better training and access at a better academy.  There is a reason why talented kids leave small programs and go to bigger ones with money money and more access.  [/quote]

Explain to everyone how kids under 18 get developed by the top tier big funded academy programs in Europe if they're from South America,  Africa and CONCACAF?
