    Breaking in as a keeper is completely dependent on the depth in front of you. It’s even harder for a young keeper to break in at a big club than field player, so I don’t mind this move. Las is good enough to sign with Barcelona or Real Madrid, but how is that going to benefit him? He could be the best keeper in the world his age and he still would get no chance to break through at those teams. Fulham might not give him a chance, but there will be less depth ahead of him.

    He can always go the Steffen route, if he’s not given a chance at Fulham and he also has an EU passport, so he could move around Europe easier than most American players.

    This player appears to be cap-tied.




    Could Llanez debut with the first team before the end of the season?

    I usually think too much time is spent discussing these players in Mexico, but I think Arce is one of the better players we've had playing in Mexico, and I think he shouldn't be far off the U-17 WC team. Good left-footed striker. Great goal-scorer. Probably a #9, but can play as an inverted LW who cuts inside.

    A 3rd Degree Net article the other day said that '04 FC Dallas F Berin Droemer is moving to Germany. His IG now says Düsseldorf, but I haven't seen other sources yet.

    Heard from someone on the ground that yes, he is gone and it was for soccer. Good for him to get over early and make his way in Germany. Good luck.

    When I say someone on the ground I mean another kid in the Academy at least that is what they think. Could have been a parent getting a job and it just worked out well. But he seems to be there for a while.

    Also, '04 Victor Fimbres is also apparently departing FC Dallas, for Xolos. Haven't seen his name in the Liga MX database just yet.

    He needs a good season. I don’t think that’s because he had a mediocre U-20 WC. I think that’s because he had a mediocre season a year ago.

    Excellent footwork. I don't believe I've ever seen Pynadath play. Maybe once, but his playing style looks similar to Taitague. I question whether he has the same athleticism as Taitague. Taitague was very skilled on the ball with good speed. He had excellent wing skill and good passing ability. The problem is end product and staying on the field.

    This is the fourth division, but it's noteworthy when a 16 year old YNT player plays first team football.



    '04 YNT player moves from Boca Juniors to CA Lanus

    Another '04 is moving to Fortuna Dusseldorf



    An '01 YNT player who played at LAG is signing in the third division of Spain. I'm not a fan. Too slow and he's not one of these Gonzalez or Onyewu towering CB's who is 6'5, so the lack of pace is mitigated.

    Hoppe is on the scoresheet after failing to score in week one.



    Wolfsburg is good, but not so good that they don't have use for a player ripping apart the U-19's. Llanez might find some minutes for Wolfsburg in the next year.



    Another goal for DLF in this preseason tournament.

    I know very little about this player, but he's been producing for a full season at a good level.

    Llanez highlights from last week. I've always thought he had a very projectable game to high level pro football, despite not possessing the absolute top-level potential. Great dribbler with speed and excellent ball control. Incredibly direct and a very good goal-scorer. Produces end product better than most his age because he makes very quick decisions. His playmaking and positional versatility has been the question IMO, but I think both look good in these highlights.

    I think he can be better than that, but a very direct style. Lozano wouldn’t be a bad outcome.

    I am not sure of all the details on Bowers, Droemer and Holt, but they have not moved to Fortuna Düsseldorf proper.

    From what I understand, they are all part of a new program bringing Americans to Germany. I believe it’s based in Düsseldorf and maybe even loosely tied to Fortuna, but it is supposedly 10 months, including schooling, housing and football.

    I’ll see if I can find out any more info.

    Schalke fans have good things to say about Hoppe. It seems like he'll get a first team contract at the end of the season, but he has to keep up his good play.

    Booth is incredibly highly rated at Bayern. They like his game much more than Richards and discuss him amongst the better players in their academy, but they say that he can never stay on the field. He's always injured.

    That's exactly what Schalke was telling about Taitague. Any news about him?

    Llanez apparently doing Llanez things today....................
    In 3 games he's already looking "too good" for this level. At what point does he get promoted? Maybe another month of this? [We'll have to see the final game report, but on twitter I saw somebody say he had another goal and assist in the match today.]
