[quote=Anonymous]And if you're an attacking player, CAM, winger, forwards, which this recent signing is in this category, you need to be especially skeptical of homegrown deals because at those positions, there is the most pressure to produce goals and clubs don't gamble that much on that in the MLS and these are the vanity positions where clubs are signing bigger names from.overseas. prime example from DCU...Kristian Fletcher singed a homegrown deal around the same time DCU signed Christian Benteke. How did that work out? Fletcher got practically no first team minutes because Benteke was in his position and as a result sought loans (that ultimately failed because he had minimal pro experience). A lot of variables need to be weighed on homegrown deals. Especially for a young player just starting his path. For all the reasons above, a homegrown deal at DCU is just a really bad option for a youth player. [/quote]
