    Something has to give. Maybe they should make the academies pay-to-play for most kids. Either or some kind of training comp scheme needs to be worked out.

    MLS must implement training compensations otherwise I don't see encouragement of MLS trying to scout for talent for it just to leave for free. Gio Reyna is set to go too, which is good for US Soccer, but not good for the team that developed him and won't see nothing in return.

    Miazga and Palmer-Brown, two players I fear won't reach their true potential. We talk about our centerback depth, well.. maybe yes maybe not. The constant loans to random clubs gets old. You cannot settle and develop if the club has no vested interest to play you. And next season you're shipped off somewhere else. Chose the money over best club situation? Perhaps a mistake at their age...

    What about Carter-Vickers? Can he still go out on loan? He has no future at Tottenham. Or under the new rules is the window shut until January?

    Is this really the case? Plenty of kids have always left to play college. There are a dozen news making signings, but plenty of kids left to sign. Atlanta's kids have no hope of playing, RSL is filled with HGs, as is FCD. NYRB has no lack of kids to sign. NYFC has HGs they have nowhere to play, Portland too.

    The HG signing news is at a different time of year. When Alvarez, Busio, Reynolds, etc. signed in the Spring, there were probably articles about how great MLS is doing. Now the European window is open, and most of the news is about kids signing there. Recency bias, not a calamity.

    Do Croatian academies get more than 50% of their domestic players to their parent clubs? Irish? Honduran (if they have them)?

    Selling Davies or Adams is probably worth TC compensation on 100 kids.

    TC and S would compensate MLS academies but make it less attractive to sign Americans. It would also make it more attractive for non-DA academies to keep kids instead of losing them to MLS. Aren't most of these kids MLS is "losing for free" brought in for free from other youth clubs?

    It could be recency bias. I was pretty surprised that there was such an even split between HGP's and European signings.

    But the question is, now that European teams are scouting and, in essence, poaching talent in MLS's backyard, how are MLS teams going to react? Are they going to play the guys they can sign? Or will they continue to lose out on 'X'% of their top prospects, and continue to never sell guys overseas?

    Do we know what type of knee-op? They have different timetables. Could be back within a couple of weeks or month if it’s a minor one.

    Did you watch?

    I see Pulisic went 77' and got pulled right after GF scored to take 1-0 lead.

    And Green went 97'.

    Anything suspicious with this game? BVB tying it at 90' +5, and then winning it at 120' +4!!!

    truth is Furth should have won, in no way was their 5 minutes of added time for the 2nd half. Very inflated numbers, 2-3 minutes tops.

    Come on you know how this works. Whenever a team is beating a team it shouldn't be, the "better side" is always given a couple of extra minutes in injury time on top of what they should get.

    I know and I agree it's a farce, Dortmund were terrible and should have been eliminated by a 2BL club who were coached by the assistant coach. (the coach was absent as a relative passed away)

    I was really worried as the clock headed towards 90' because there wasn't any reason to add more than a minute of injury time...….then as the clock kept advancing...…it's 90 + 5 wtf o_O

    He didn't actually play. He dressed and was on the pitch but that was about it.

    I was very impressed by his grit and defensive work-rate. By my count Green led Furth in tackles with 7! Very solid on offense. Excellent holdup play and making the right passes. Made a few starting passes but never got the combo back. Green needs someone to combine with, would love to see him playing for the US with Pulisic with both sitting behind a striker.

    He got a great response from the crowd when he came off with a slight knock at 97. I thought he was Furth's best player and certainly their hardest worker!

    One of these is certainly not like the others.

    Your take on CCV seems completely at odds with what you said about Miazga and EPB. CCV has spent his entire career at one club that rates him very highly and has progressed through the ranks right on, or ahead of schedule. Unlike Man City and Chelsea, he is at one of the very few top clubs that consistently do help their youth prospects reach their potential and ultimately play them.

    To say he has no future at Tottenham is weird. The window is still open for loans within the english leagues and it looks like he is going to Swansea, which is a definite step up from his loans last season. Being unable to beat out Vertonghen, Sanchez, Alederwilederverderweiler and Dier at 20 years old does not indicate there is no future with the club.
