Easier, cheaper and faster to hire more European players (although teams are limited in the # of foreign visas they can get).
Could they get if they pushed it? $1m+

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI doubt that they could get a nickel. They are pay-to-play and have already been compensated by Mr. and Mrs. Pulisic and if the club pushed it, I would sue them if I were his parents. The training he received was at their expense in PA and in Europe .... do you really think the club holds a candle for his ability as compared to what his parents did and paid for his training?

I believe Deandre Yedlin's club is in a legal battle over it.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostActually, there was some recent discussions around the subject. It's a grey area on what the development clubs are due. Technically, they are due and it would be substantial. The problem becomes once they open the door, there could be a concern about profiting from child "labor". So, they are, for now, mostly avoiding it.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWas Yedlin's club free or pay-to-play? If it is P2P then they have already been compensated and any winnings should go to the parents. Pulisic's club undertook no financial hit to train him except for checks from his parents. They have been paid in full .... would be very interesting in the courts if people pressed this!

I hope the parents challenge these pay-to-play clubs in court and come away with a dramatic win .... would definitely change the landscape here in the US. I am actually all for training compensation when the clubs pay everything to do it .... when they don't, they deserve sh|t.
