Youth Yanks Abroad, ‘01-‘04 YOBs (and younger): 2019/20 Thread

Nico Carrera was trialing at Nurnberg at the same time as Adam. Unfortunately, only Adam was offered a contract. I hear Nico still managed to find another German club.

 

If Hategan is staying, how does Nuremberg II landscape look for him next year?

 

They'll be in the Regionalliga Bayern next year.

 

But not Richards?

 

Different thread.

 

#8 position, Adrian Simon ('06). Are we sure this guy is going to want to play for the USA? Could he prefer Spain? I don't think either country has had any '06 YNT camps yet for him to attend.

Got to play a few minutes off the bench at Anfield.

Any more info on this?

I know many have soured on Nico but he has a lot of assets that I think could be useful if he's developed propery.

When did he become a Spanish citizen?

 

I’m not sure, but I suspect that’s how he’s playing in Spain.

 

Says his parents moved for work reasons, could obviously still have spanish citizenship

My apologies if I missed this news earlier in the thread, but it looks like LAFC is nearing signatures for three homegrown signings:

• Antonio Leone (CB) - 2004
• Erik Dueñas (RB) - 2004
• Christian Torres (FWD) - 2004

SOURCE

Hearing #LAFC has made a trio of homegrown signings: defender Erik Dueñas, forward Christian Torres and center back Antonio Leone.

Leone has played for both U.S. and Mexico youth national teams. Torres scored in a preseason game for LAFC vs. TFC earlier this year.

Holstein Kiel may be it. We'll know very soon.

 

Sounds like great news. They must really rate him. I expected him to start with the U-19's or reserves.

On Joe Scally's rise from @NYCFC academy standout to soon-to-be Borussia Monchengladbach fullback.

Scally will remain with the Gladbach first team when he joins in January. https://t.co/woBwTwKh53

Super impressive as he's still 17. That's two 17 year old Americans in the BL if this comes true.

 

Didn't they say the same thing about Uly at first? I really doubt he gets games that fast for the first team, which isn't a slight at all. There just isn't a player that's gone straight into a first team except Adams, and he had a ton of minutes already.

 

He'll be 18 when he moves there (can't move until he's 18), but he's over a month younger than Reyna.

Not that I remember. I think the main difference between Scally and players such as Llanez, KHF, Kayo is that Scally was purchased for 2M. There was an investment there that might alone get him a first team spot. I doubt he'll play much, if at all, prior to the 2021-22 season, but the fact that his starting position at the club seems to be first team player with worst case scenario a loan to a lower level pro team team after half a season as opposed to U-19/reserve team player who needs to prove himself to be one of the best players in the academy does seem to indicate they rate him highly.

 

Guy is a monster athlete. Not sure if he’s technical or tactical enough to play anywhere but RB but he can develop into a bully out there. One of your best calls imo.

 

Evan Rotundo has officially announced his signing with Schalke as he has turned 16 today and can move to Germany with his French passport.

 

I think he’s technical and tactical enough to play as a center back. I don’t think he’s technical enough to be an attacking fullback though.

 

I think he may be one of these players that can play a number of positions, like Tyler Adams can. At CB, he may be more athletically suited to play a more well-rounded game. At RB, he's more of a defensive fullback with athleticism. As a #8, he'd cover a lot of ground.

 

Great time to move to Schalke. I wish more guys were going there rn (Kobe).

 

Congrats to Evan Rotundo (16) on signing with Schalke 04. Another USMNT prospect with a chance to climb the ladder in Germany’s youth academies 👀 #USMNT #OneGoal pic.twitter.com/9fPWvVLpWb

Congrats to Evan. He has the "it" factor with drive and determination and good to see our top players get over to Europe at such a young age.

 

Anyone give us a quick overview of his game. I am sure it’s posted elsewhere but I am being lazy.
