The Phoenix wouldn't sell a young player with a future who wanted to be here. In the same way a number of players have gone to US colleges that the Phoenxi firmly believe would be A-League players. The Academy is about helping players and people and if the better option is a full scholarship at Harvard then the Phoenix aren't going to stand in the way.
Some of the absolute garbage written here makes me wonder if we support the same club.
Interested as to how they could stand in the way of an Academy players choosing to got a US College?
US colleges are for the players who won't make it as footballers.
Ryan Nelsen did ok.
Most players won't make it as (pro) footballers, why not get a free degree whilst working that out.
