What's the difference who the 19th player on the team is? They're never going to see the field anyway. Keep the academy kids and make the fans feel good about the club. Get their families, friends and youth team mates fired up about their local team.
NOPE. Grab a guy from a European 3rd division instead.
The New York Red Bulls previously kicked around Major League Soccer as the MetroStars with limited success. But after transforming under a new banner in 2005, the Red Bulls have become a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. The club has made leaps of progress since its previous incarnation and now has its focus on bringing the league title to New York.

It is the perfect Darwinian system at work as long as organized soccer has been in existence.
The player discovery and development processes at work in pro soccer here or anywhere might comprise a 'system' in some sense, but it's not 'Darwinian' and very far from 'perfect.'

I think it hurts the development of American players that so many go to college instead of working their way up to the professional level at a younger age. NCAA doesn't develop players like an academy system and when the players get out of college, they've already lost some prime training years in the process. Maybe Kassel would have stood a better chance if he had stuck with RBNY instead of going to college for three years.
So Kassel would have been better off at the pro level at a young age to develop like Hot?
I know I'm being sarcastic but sometimes there's more to life than developing into a top athlete by 21. Most don't make it....and you never hear about their stories. Something to be said about getting an education.

What do all these players have in common?
If you said they were cut, traded or forced into retirement under Backe & Soler....you win a chicken dinner.

I'm not upset by these moves. Our Academy is known to be good, so maybe we have something coming up in the pipeline. Our team is in it to win it NOW (I know we haven't won anything) but I'd rather mortgage "the future" to win now. Hot and Kassel had some time to impress the coaches. Adios amigos!!.....that being said, I hope we can get some formidable depth on our squad!!
LOL!!!
Lets mortgage the future to win now...THAT ALWAYS WORKS!!!!
Retard.
