    And then SJ refuses to sell/trade immediately, but prefers to auction those players before the draft. Maybe that's already happening, who knows.

    They have refused to trade. Damian Alguera’s father was telling people that Damian was sought after by Philadelphia Union for his homegrown rights and offered San Jose 100k. Not only was Philly rebuffed, the Quakes would not offer Alguera a homegrown contract because they already had two young keepers on HG deals.

    I'm all in favor of providing compensation in player movement, but this kind of thing is something Garber needs to stamp out.

    Teams getting compensation for training = great.
    Teams restricting access to talent they don't want = awful.

    Should pretty much be a standardized (and achievable) release fee, like how La Liga makes teams put in release clauses.

    Yeah, now the guy plays college even though he could have been a professional. Now that's sad.

    You do that kind of stuff too often and your academy gets a reputation in the community. Kids don't go play there.

    That's a hard-learned lesson for some clubs.

    The rules are changing. Maybe not fast enough for some, but they are.

    They have both recently been called into youth national team camps. They are rated high for their positions. They share the same agent and supposedly Kohler has signed a pre-agreement to join a German club at the end of summer.

    Thanks for the info. So could be as much about not wanting to be in MLS as it is about Luchi.

    Yes could be. I think they could have also decided that an MLS deal would be too long for their desired developmental timelines. I think the majority of home grown contracts are 4 years with a fifth year team option. Their agent may have convinced them to get to Europe ASAP by taking a one year USL deal until they turn 18.

    The US record for this U17 tournament is Reyna with 6 goals. Cruz now has 3.

    Signing Chance directly without him even officially joining the club is going to piss a lot of families/players off. Quakes have some very good players in the young age groups, some with passports. Can see this not ending well for them.

    Interesting... which players do you think are in danger of bailing?

    Development academy players choosing short term USL contracts over MLS homegrown contracts so they can leave for Europe becomes far more likely if the MLS team has shown no ability to sell players to Euro clubs.
    The Quakes, who have still never sold a domestic player (eg Kikanovic, Cowell, etc.) that came through their system outside the US (Lima to Austin, Callender's rights to Miami), have already lost at least three potential homegrown signings to USL teams:
    -Drew Murray to Oakland Roots
    -Ethan Kohler to Oakland Roots
    -Fidel Barajas to Charleston Battery
