Agreed - been following the NY-area DA situation for a few years now, and, general impression of NYCFC is that their success on the field simply comes from recruiting the most talented players in the area. Their coaching/training isn't really any better than you would find at other places - and in fact, in some cases, it's worse. I know of 1 particular player who left NYCFC voluntarily because he didn't believe that being there was helping him develop into a better player. Not something you would expect from a professional team's youth academy.

Same was the case with Fury. Training sucks. the improvement of any of the kids correlated merely to playing with and against other good players. Not the training or coaching.

So you agree that NYCFC would have held him back and isn’t the best option for someone who wants to be a professional. It’s a glorified “premier” team playing under a “professional” banner.

Ummm... isn't that the point. I always assume the academies and top clubs have similar coaching and training. You get significantly better by training against better kids in practice and better competition in games.
