Are you serious? The discussion was why don't youth clubs get compensated for players that played in their system, but, you gave an example of a professional team selling a player to another professional team. That's what pro teams do, they buy, trade and sell their commodities, (players). Should youth clubs see their players as a commodity? Is that why they exist? To make money selling players?
Pato was with a professional organization but he was sold to another pro club at 17 years of age. The Quakes are a professional team as well. As far as selling players, of course clubs see their players as numbers. Garber also said they want to be a selling league. Therefore, I’m sure he is wanting to make money off of selling players. The theory is to develop players for the parent team but that doesn't always happen. If clubs can get X amount of money for a certain youth team player and if the clubs need or want that money, of course they will sell him. That has gone on far as long as I remember. Many teams in Europe and especially in Latin America make their money that way.

I heard the Academy will start preseason training next week. Rumor is the U-15 boys will take a trip to China. The U-17s will be trained by Alex Covelo for the first couple of weeks while their head coach is attending a coaching license course. Since Alex is the Quakes Director of Methodology I imagine they will get a nice overview of the man marking system (plus a healthy dose of fitness training). I don’t know if Matías or Jesse have considered it, but I think it would be a great idea if the Quakes formed a partnership with Leeds United and had the boy’s U-17s go over to England and train with their academy for a few weeks one year and then have Leeds United U-17s come to San Jose the following year. Marcelo Bielsa and Matias Almeyda have almost the exact same philosophy about how to play the game and I think both youth teams could learn some great things from each other in combined training and scrimmaging. Imagine the value of a few training sessions with Bielsa and Almeyda.
A partnership with Leeds United? Wouldn't that be the same end result as our partnership with the Spurs?
Because everything in the world always works the same way? Different people with different ideas will likely result in a different type of partnership.
How many partnerships have ever materialized or worked with the Quakes and any foreign team? Whatever happened to this one? Jesse Fioranelli & Oliver Bierhoff talk Quakes x DFB ...

For those of you interested, The San Jose Earthquakes U-15s will play in the final of the Mediterranean Champion China Tournament at 7pm Pacific Time here against FC Zenit (Russia): https://www.haoq.tv/Home/Live/haoLive/id/114454.html They beat Zenit earlier in group play 4-2. They won their semifinal match yesterday in PKs over Hoffenheim (Germany). Former U-16 coach Shaun Tsakiris has a son on the team, Nicolas. He plays attacking mid.
I thought Shaun Tsakiris was still with the De Anza Force. Are they finally working together with the Quakes?
Quakes playing out of the back very bravely. Hope it doesn’t cost goals. Quake’s shot! Saved for a corner kick
Another Zenit goal! 2-0 at 27 minutes. Quakes with poor pass in middle get punished right after first goal
