Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCurious to see if my statement gets posted in regards to skepticism that Barca would get DA
Who knows what will happen but
1) Barca is a huge name, big money player that USSF would drool over (and probably is).
2) USSF is going after market share, even if it means diluting the product somewhat. The more DA clubs the more likely ECNL clubs will struggle to keep top players.
3) Even if they want to avoid watering DA down, they can easily relegate a local non performer. They've done it before.

If Barca posted tryouts for Girls DAP, girls would come in large numbers. Can you image if the girls DAp was free.
Let's face it the girls GDA launch on LI was pretty bad. It wouldn't take much for Barca to supersede that, even if today they don't have a single girls team.
... and to hear Larry's reaction that would be priceless

I think looking at the DA application would be helpful in this discussion.
https://ussoccer.box.com/s/9ihcqb1bn...94wuwivayyy4d1
Here are the things the DA is looking for:
-Leadership of the club and quality of the coaching staff
-Desire to embrace and promote the core values of the program
-U.S. Soccer license levels of coaching staff-Infrastructure of the club and the resources currently being invested in development (facilities, scholarships, staff to player ratio, etc.)
-History of player production for youth National Teams, the Men's National Team, and professional leagues
-Market with player depth, geographic location, proximity to other elite clubs and travel implications
If you look at that 4th one, it seems impossible that a startup club could get DA after 5+ years of existence -- after one seems ridiculous.
The other Barca Academy bought their way in the DA by buying an existing DA club.
Please don't believe anyone that tries to lead you into believing this will be a DA club any time in the near future.
And more importantly, don't believe anyone that tells you that playing for a non-DA club is a bad thing.

Then why does nycfc get a da.? They have not been in existence that long. It is because they are a pro club. They will ignore requirement number 4 or any other one they want to. Just look at the girls side of us soccer das for proof of that.

That whole thread is bizarre. LM has no idea what he's talking about, there is no way he has the whole contract which means he doesn't know terms, performance guarantees or exit clauses. He just acts like a big guy, but in reality is no more in the know than I am.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHe responded to my comments. I'm fortunate enough to have the ability to squeeze him and bit. And once he verifies through Glen Schneider who I am he will know I'm not blowing smoke. He's a Bully and it's not ok. Danilo doesn't have the ability to take legal action but friends of his including myself does.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes squeeze plenty. He's gone too far this time (although his slams against clubs and individuals before were intolerable). Copy of a private contract....and if Surf did give it to him what does that say about them? I doubt they are that stupid. You can't make this shi* up, yet LM does!
