United FC??? I would be shocked if they got that.Teams applying for DA status next year are Galaxy SB, Celtics, United Fc, Cda slammers, and legends. Curious to see which ones if any are approved
Really? Their 18's made it to the Playoffs in Dallas this past season. That's much more then Surf can say after 4 years and as many coaching changes. The latest coaching change leading them right to the bottom of this years standings. If you think your situation sucks, you must always ask the question, compared to what.Anyways, Arsenal still sucks and not worthy of academy status.
You're talking about WINS, just like every other recreational parent on here.Really? Their 18's made it to the Playoffs in Dallas this past season.

What's a quality player to you? What indicators do you use to measure purpose?You're talking about WINS, just like every other recreational parent on here.
Tell me, what quality player has Arsenal produced? That should be the sole purpose of any academy.
What's a quality player to you? What indicators do you use to measure purpose?
Not at all. They've not beaten Surf in the last two matches. I do know what a good/great player looks like and most of the local ones have a dad that played some form of professional soccer and trained their sons daily. Joe Gallardo, Luca Delatore, Brian Iloski, etc.Christian Mate Pulisic
You don't know what a quality player looks like? No of course not, you prolly thought the whole Arsenal Playoff team was bound for greatness.
Okay I don't understand your argument. Which one of these players you've mentioned came from Arsenal?Not at all. They've not beaten Surf in the last two matches.

lol@ you thinking that's quality.I'll name one but could name more: How about Raul Mendiola, who now plays for Galaxy first team? He was a 2 time academy player of the year at Arsenal.
Lol @ you thinking you know anything about soccer or better yet quality. In your world, how does a 21 year old getting regular minutes (and starts as of late) on the top MLS team not equal quality. We're not talking World Class, you mentioned quality. He is an outstanding player.lol@ you thinking it's quality.
You created an account just for this?
Trust me, WE can all tell you had a kid play for Arsenal just by what you posted.If you want older, more established players (pre-Academy) you have: Nick Rimando and Carlos Bocanegro. Bottom line, I don't have a son or daughter playing for Arsenal but my son did play for them once upon a time. He moved on to other clubs and is still playing soccer today. He received good coaching and was treated well by Arsenal. They are not perfect but they are a good club and, in my opinion, deserving of an Academy.
Fair enough but I've also named a recent player that's young and doing well professionally at a young age and players that were/are on the MNT as a sample of players that have come through Arsenal....as quality. You, on the other hand, still haven't answered Bruddah IZ's question on how you measure quality. Also, just curious as to why such hatred for Arsenal?Trust me, WE can all tell you had a kid play for Arsenal just by what you posted.
Cappie didn't ask how I measure quality, he asked what indicators do I use to measure purpose of an academy.Fair enough but I've also named a recent player that's young and doing well professionally at a young age and players that were/are on the MNT as a sample of players that have come through Arsenal....as quality.
