These are all the academy players at DCU that have gone pro. Just click on the player and you will see the fees they got for them. Add it up. Can do the same for all other clubs. Then just look at Philly. Not a fair comparison. But you missed this in the thread weeks ago right??? Of course you did.

You're bringing claims and accusations.

When asked to satisfy burden of proof, you want the accused side to support a case they haven't brought?

LOL


Your silliness knows no end. Now faux legalese. The question has always been "strong academy or not?" Lots of "measurable" info on "not." Just looking for the other side.


Then provide all the "performing better" objectively measurable criteria, data, stats and metrics?
But start by listing the criterion academy performance is based on


READ THE THREAD. It is all there. From Transfermarkt, Press releases from the clubs etc. But you chose to ignore that. All good. DCUs academy isn't about putting kids in college. It is about producing pros. At that, it is horrible at doing it's job. But the best you got is DCU is putting kids in college???? They would have gone to college without DCU. You basically got nothing. Moving on...

Sounds like a heck of a positive to me


And as was stated over and over... if college is the end goal, DCU is perfectly fine. As is any MLS Next or ECNL club.


All MLS Academies are fine for college because there are far more players, the overwhelming vast majority, that are leaving MLS Club Academies and going to College than going to top tier professional clubs.

Unless you have secret information no one else does


Yes, all academy teams are fine for college.

Hey! There you go. I'm with this. (If I were verifiable facts lady I would now ask you to produce the numbers of kids from all other academies that went to college and which ones, but I'm just going to accept this as a positive)

This is a DCU bashing thread spearheaded by an obsessed individual that can't handle rejection who has recruited a couple other Sad Sack losers who are wallowing in their insecurities.

Its not an intellectual discussion on the pros and cons of the region's MLS Club professional academy.

They made biased accusations that can't be proved. That's on them.

Whatever the status of the dcu academy, it has nothing to do with 99.85% of the people here.


I'm sorry, I still don't understand your point. Strong academy?

You're just going in circles, ignoring actual facts, attacking posters and trying to reframe the question. Let's keep it simple. Do you think DCU Academy is a strong academy? If so, why?


You must mean actual fox

Lies on the measurable info already presented

Where is it?

Where is the measurable info for all MLS academies and who they have sold that they developed to Division 1 clubs in Europe?
