Valencia CF in Seattle

[Guest]

This is a super interesting development. On paper, looks like it’s an alternative to Sounders academy. The guy says they are sending someone to Seattle to control and supervise. That does not seem minor. Interesting also that he was here for tryouts. But players can’t go to European clubs until they are 18, right? PSG has a massive program and facility in Florida that appears to be a massive investment. Barcelona has the Casa Grande academy in Arizona. It looks like European clubs are moving past the marketing-only stuff from years past and investing on US versions of their academies. This could be good for Seattle. But what happens to Eagleclaw?

Gonzaga signed 2 players from Valencia’s Academy in Spain a few months ago. Maybe now they can look closer to home. https://www.soccerwire.com/news/gonz...o-2022-roster/

Has Eagleclaw ever had a top player at any age group? Ever?

That's actually a red-tailed hawk, not an eagle.

You know, in the moment I thought I was a little pitchy. I'll do better next time, I promise.

While I doubt future players like Xavi, Iniesta and Kante will be going there, nice try troll. You must be the guy with the big fast dumb kid.

Sounds allot like the hot air of Eagle Claw!

I wonder what would happen if a real deal super start showed up at the claw program? Would they be fast tracked to the big time??

Unless they have an EU Passport it doesn't matter. If you do, you go try out at multiple clubs when you are ready

True. Euro clubs can’t sign American players until they are 18 Unless they have a Euro passport. it’s a FIFA rule.

calling someone a troll and then calling a kid dumb makes you the hypocritical pot
