The article doesn't mention Yedlin and the fact that the Sounders were paid and they did not pay XF. Great article to show that nothing is still really being done.

And just so you know, FIFA regulations only dictate that professional clubs pay training compensation when a player signs his first professional contract in a country other than the one in which he was trained. Hopefully that answers your question regarding why don't US Youth clubs get training compensation when MLS sign players from local clubs.

As I said on the other side - the main barrier is that US Soccer hasn't forced the MLS to adhere. MLS and MLSPA don't want to share the money. FIFA should force them - also I think Eastside is also due some Yedlin money.

Actually two times:
1. When the player first signs a professional contract in another country and,
2. any subsequent international transfer

What are you talking about Yedlin had nothing to do with Eastside.

Dude!

It's not an MLS issue. But they aren't just going to give the money to others when they don't have to. MLSPA is against the MLS aon this issue.

get your head out of your a55!

the problem is that USSF and all their idiot friends (US Soccer/US Club and all the other wonks in youth soccer can't get on the same page and devote the needed resources to this issue. Further complicating things, it doesn't typically start until 12 years old, and by then the mls clubs have already identified their kids

Why should clubs that charge families $3k per kid get ANY compensation? If anything it should go to the parents that made the "investment". In other countries, I get it b/c those youth academies are at no cost to the family and actually have money at risk. Meaning they must develop players to make it work out financially.

But the business model is different here. Seems like XF wants to have its cake and eat it too.

Yedlin played for XF Academy and it was free.

XF's issue in the Yedlin case is that they weren't educated on what was necessary in order to request tc/sp. They needed to have a player passport.

No Yedlins grandparents paid for his training at XF, which is why XF didn't/shouldn't get compensation.

I love it when idiots start new threads on this board so everyone can show off how full of **** they are about topics like this. Literally a bunch of people just talking out their arses

XF academy was free, just like the current U-19's are. However, academy was U-15, 17 and 19. Yedlin spent one year at Sounders.

The trouble of course is that US Soccer will not support or advocate for youth club’s to get their share of training comp and solidarity payments. European youth clubs charge club players just like American youth clubs but their federations are very diligent ensuring youth clubs get compensated appropriately. Not here. MLS is on record saying they will not help youth clubs get compensation for player that youth clubs develop and who later go to MLS clubs and who are subsequently transferred for big money.
