NYCFC Academy - General Discussion

I don't believe there are plans to own and operate a second stadium. They would rent another facility.
 
Another interesting tidbit I saw on reddit. Andrew Carleton played DA games for Atlanta. Seems like age is the only that matters. This means that we can sign players to the First Team and still play them for Academy games. Seems like a good loophole before we have a USL team set up.

I don't know if we've seen or heard Gio Reyna attending a practice before. But Kristan Wilson says, "Well done Gio" at 1:18. Soon.

If he's not signing a professional contract somewhere next summer, I'll be quite surprised. Fingers crossed he signs with us, gets his feet wet, then plays a full year in 2019 before we sell him for $10 million to the mothership or elsewhere in Europe.

He turns 16 in November 2018. I think the kid is too young to sign a professional contract.
