[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just saying

Like less then 1 percent of junior academy players ever become pro..and this is in England!!!

So it’s not a shocker that this pathway has resulted in literally nothing [/quote]

True.  But when a MLS academy a little over an hour away has the same program and has four pros in the last six years...you have to start to wonder.[/quote]

4 pros in six years from a heavily populated area with a long history of families from soccer rich countries isn't surprising

Also 4 pros in six years means thousands of players over the same six years didn't make it from that program. [/quote]

Great argument.  A club is producing pros but they aren't that good because of the thousands of kids that they didn't cultivate????  You've got to be kidding me.  There are thousands of kids that don't make it from La Masia [/quote]

La Masia is in the top 3 of academies that produces professional players

As with all academies in the world, only a small percentage makes it to professional.

Point is, MLS Academies aren't even in the mix to be counted. 
None of them.[/quote]

So your point is that all MLS academies are bad at what they are meant to do?   Ok, so what?  It doesn't change the fact that the p2p offering at DCU is a total marketing ploy.  Your argument only amplifies this point since all of the MLS academies are bad at what they do anyway.  [/quote]

I believe you just paraphrased and created your version of what the PP is implying.

You are singling out DCU for being the worst academy, or one of the worst in MLS based on the perceived accomplishments of others.

The irrefutable point being made is, no MLS Academy is producing consistent high quality products in the way of Professionals going to top tier leagues[/quote]

I'm pretty sure the PP said DCUs P2P program was a marketing ploy.  Which is what the thread is about.  Didn't really say anything about the quality of DCUs academy.  [/quote]

P2P is a MLS universal mandated marketing ploy [/quote]
