I am wondering if the time, resources, skills acquired have a value that clubs would want to protect.
Obviously receiving clubs benefit greatly from development that feeder clubs perform. No receiving club would want to pay a fee but there is value to what feeder clubs do. If you look at both ECNL and DA clubs as an example, they recruit or are the recipient of strong, previously developed talent from other clubs. No investment required to recruit or poach.
Some Clubs pay already on some level when they offer discounts or Free/no fees, free uniforms to entice players to switch. The player benefits, the receiver club benefits with instant talent, the feeder takes the loss.
Jordan Morris is a good example of an Amateur player who played Club youth and then Pro-Youth for the Sounders and Seattle owned his Amateur rights.
This is not a bash ECNL or DA discussion so don't go there.

Where is the loss? When a player is at a club, they pay the fees for the training. When they go to a different club, they pay for their training at that club. The prior club no longer has any costs to provide services to that player.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostExactly. The original club made $0 investment, as they were already paid (by the player) for their training efforts. There is no investment to protect.

Transfer Fees !?!
US Soccer is a pay-to-play system. And you want to work on ways that the clubs can make even more moeny !?
Try working on a way that families do not have to pay thousands and thousands of dollars if they want their child to have any chance to even be looked at by the top level in the sport.
Try working on a way where reaching the highest level of soccer is merit based, rather than financially based.

Okay geniuses. Assuming there is more coming in than what was paid, should they turn it down and not invest. The reason they invest overseas is because the payoff is worth it. Only you idiots seem to think our system is better.

next question:
Why not charge colleges for taking "your" player to the next level? Hell, they can afford it...

Some clubs are charging parents fees if they want to take their kid to a different club. A well known club in SFla is charging $7500.
