Seattle United destroys local clubs

[Guest]

Recruiting violations should be reported to the RCL board of directors.

They stole a 2011 boy from Washington Premiere, this kid was on the national ODP team. Seems like they had been talking to him for a while and convinced him to backstab his team. Pathetic.

Steal? The kid and parents made the decision to move clubs. Quit being dramatic.

Yup, stole him right off the streets while he was walking to school. Pulled up in a black sedan, surrounded him, hustled him into the back seat, and drove off with him.

I saw it! Had a big SU sticker on the side of the sedan

Sounds like Karen is angry that her little Johnny didn’t get recruited and they are stuck at a crappy club without their best player now. It’s all rooted in jealousy. That’s the only reason anyone cares about recruiting.

SU has an impeccable reputation. They don’t need to recruit because of their success. They have never been brought up on recruiting violations period. Yes they have a very close relationship with the Sounders and think their DOC played for the Sounders. The club is aware that they don’t own the players and are happy for the players that leave to the sounders. Very different approach from friends east of the lake. Seattle with their premier/select model has proven to be an overwhelming success. They have a very healthy financial aid program that sets them apart.

Impeccable my a55. Certain coaches recruited heavily and werent bashful about it.

Of course Crossfire recruits their a55 off. Nothing to see here.

Impeccable reputation?!! That's laying it on a bit thick

Assuming the poster is an SU member, it's a wonderful thing to have pride in one's club. But "impeccable" means "without fault or blame" and I don't think anybody inside or outside of the club thinks they're impeccable. It's impossible to deliver 100% on the expectations of every single player, every single parent, and every other stakeholder in the community. No soccer club is impeccable. All the evidence you need is on this chatboard, even though some of that "evidence" is either made up or highly exaggerated.

Impeccable!!! Refined!!! Measured!

Another reason why EJ was a good hire. He’s a top recruiter as well.

[Guest]

Who’s EJ?

[Guest]

A hungry black male trying to make a sale.

If I work my pertunia off to try to make your kid great you better not run off on me.You wonder why coaches seem angry and burned out nowadays you rich bastards treat us like used car salespeople.

Oh wow, I surely hope my kid never meets coaches like yourself. Since you are getting money from me, it's your job to make my kid better, not my kid's job to play for your team. You want people to not run off on you, start paying them money and sign a contract, like proper academies do.
