Some of these players are good but maybe not for the EPL but can look elsewhere like Austria,Switzerland,Belgium etc even in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland if they don’t wanna leave the UK to develop their talent but it seems all of them wanna break into the EPL which has a slimmer chance and I feel like the EPL teams should have links with clubs from the above mentioned to give them players of their league standard

People in academy should never drop out of education
Even if u get a bad garde and focus on football
At the end you can either get a job if u got a good grade or just redo it

Once you get that academy contract, you guys work less..thats your fault

I would advise anyone who got released in UK go abroad instead of giving up to somewhere like Thailand try for a team there then who knows could progress on again somewhere like South Korea or Japan.

In Switzerland the footballers do a part-time apprenticeship next to football, just in case they don‘t make it.. and the clubs work with companies to catch them up, let them work for 1-2 years and leave them go (they managed to gain a bit of exp.)

Being dropped from an academy made me lose interest in the sport, I remember grinding my heart out to be in the u15s ( emailing academy coach, recording my games, training everyday and watching tons of video footage from past academy games ) but the i was dropped at 17, im 19 now and havent played any sports for a good year

Ever they sell into a river. They will have you aboard for a little while then they will throw you away. If academy football is not for you I pled with you to stick with your education things will happen for you.

by the way back then when Ronaldo and messi where becoming the best, there weren't really that many kids playing football but now in this era 1.8 million kids are playing football and its very hard to become pro and also hard for me since i play football as well at the age of 16 and only 180 kids out of the 1.8 million become pro and i think to my self everyday if im gonna make it or not and disappoint myself and my family. THE FOOTBALLING INDUSTRY HAVE TO DO MORE.

It has to be more difficult the closer you get. Being released between 18 and 21 must be a real challenge as you have gone so far. There are a lot of facets that are needed to make it to a professional contract but you cannot get away from the need for speed. If you ain't quick and sharp then it is very difficult to get noticed. Football is all about speed and acceleration and that has become more and more important as the years go by. There are so many things that can be worked on, but when it comes to speed you cannot put in what god left out.

I personally wonder how England has football players. As a Nigerian who migrated to England few years ago and been around football pitches , training and all that it really baffles me how footballers are scouted here. They are extremely lazy, dont wana jog, dont wana tackle , just pure laziness .

These guys should apply for NCAA soccer scholarships in America, get a college degree and maybe you still make it pro but at least you can get a decent job as a backup plan
@noxinmembreno1693
December 27, 2023 at 2:28 pm
If you get released by a massive club like man city or United just come to the USA and try to get a college scholarship playing football here. It’s way less competitive and you’d probably make it even in the mls because of it.

not to sound weird or unsympathetic being released is very hard…..but as from the UK, you can take advantage of the system of (FOOTBALL)soccer in America and commit to a D1 team and play for that school to rediscover yourself and continue from there tbf…..;better than nothing

People call some pros thrash but they fail to realize how many people missed out which means those pros really had to try. Now imagine the ones leaving their countries, play one or two seasons for one club then get shipped to another country and then you factor the ones with families, their families too have to suffer.

This is probably where the US comes out on top by ensuring young athletes get an education before turning pro, in case the worst happens. Still good to see people are thinking about this though.

I played academy level and coached young teams in the London and Brazil. What one of the guys said about aggression and attitude is so true. While teenagers the world over have attitude problems, the aggression and need to act tough is really next level in the UK. Not so much in Brazil, because the threat of extreme violence is actually very real. We lose so much talent in England because the boys just don't know how to act, they're immature and insecure, and by the time they realise this it's too late. Other than that, the technical level in Brazil is far, far superior. Kids in the UK don't/can't play enough anymore, coz who's got the money to pay for goals and powerleague at that age.

Respect. Football is centuries behind other sports. The US collegial system where players are drafted from colleges every year makes sure kids aren't prayed upon by predator academies who don't care about human children. They just see $$. No support or education fall backs. The premier league needs to gollow the US system where education levels have to be maintained or no sports. Then clubs draft rookies from colleges. Not academies. Only thing we should emulate from America.
