[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, the novice said we aren't churning out pros consistently. Not that kids aren't capable of becoming pros.

But, none of us are listening to the novice anyway.

We're only listening to you grand master 
No one else has your experience, knowledge, success, insight and connections at the top of the soccer pyramid and business world

The awesome thing about this thread is that, I, the old man who has been offering knowledge on here for two years, am impressed that SOMEONE ELSE gets it.  Fully gets it.  Bravo to the PP on his/her understanding of the ecosystem and how DCU fits into it.  Especially with respect to Europe.

Like I said many many posts ago, if you have European ambition, stay out of MLS academies especially at older ages.  Your value is your ability to transfer FOR FREE, which Is literally gold in Europe.  If you do stay in a MLS academy and want to go to Europe, stay for 1 year.  After that you become expensive and clubs will hesitate.  If you're in a MLS academy and want to go to Europe at 18, you're almost certainly not going to cut it (some exceptions of course) unless you are absolutely killing it here.  You've been in a mediocre system for too long and European talent  is just WAY better.  If you've been outside a MLS academy at 18 and you want to transfer that's different because again, you're free.  The options open up.  Clubs are more willing to take a flier for free.  The question will always be, how good was your training and how have you tested your ability.

To anyone who thinks no one reads this thread and gets educated about DCU and the MLS academy system is kidding themselves.

Again, bravo to the PP who had the long posts before this one.  You get it.  That makes me happy. [/quote]
