Freddy Adu is 35, same age is Johnny Evans, madness.
Cavan Sullivan — 14-years-old midfielder makes record-youngest MLS debut
- Thread starter Red Star One
- Start date
He's contractually bound to move to City when he becomes 18? Is that even allowed?
It’s City, there are 115 reasons as to why they don’t give a feck if something is “allowed” or not.
Based on Freddy's timeline. He's probably 40 minimum.
Does he not play for one of the city group teams? They probably have loads of players signed like that in various leagues, in case one of the becomes a wonder kid. None of the risk, all of the benefit.
I don’t think Philly is City Group, but they obviously have some connection
Yeah, New York City is meant to be the City Group team in the MLS. That's why it feels even more dodgy than usual that they also seem to have made this deal between Philadelphia Union and the City Group for a 14 year old.
Looks arrogant. Do not want.
I've watched the YouTube highlight reels. The kids he's playing against look like they barely know what football is and he's just doing Fifa Street tricks a lot of the time. The hype is just some USA razzle dazzle.
Must've had a hard paper round, him.
This is not a comparable situation at all, there are rules that exist and goes against this.
Interesting to see whether he's actually part of the squad and gets meaningful minutes.
Most of the times this kind of players just make their debut for the club to make some kind of statement "look we got a jewel here" but then the youngster isn't really a part of the squad. It be impressive to see a 14 year old consistently playing, rather than just making the debut.
Players like Yamal and Coubarsi featuring as starters at 16 is way more impressive in my opinion.

Arsenal's 14 year old playing in the under 18s has been given the number 99 for the forthcoming season. Might get on the pitch for some cup games next season. He's 15 at the end of December
That‘s bordering on child abused to me.
Adu x2
Young Dominik Mysterio vibes.
Obviously this is a very extreme example but one of my particularly anti-fun opinions is we shouldn't really have kids playing professional football and things would be better if we made them wait until 18.
I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Unless youre Mike Tyson or Brock Lesnar, 14 year olds shouldn't be competing with adults.

Why do those two get protected whilst every other 14 year old has to go up against adults?
Jonny Evans is 36, not 35.
edited nowI actually don't think it's "children abuse" to play underage footballer if he's good enough. Surely there's a limit - perhaps around 14 or so, but it's also a natural limit because I doubt we will ever see a 12-year-old good enough - but asking guys like Yamal to play two more years in the U-18 team doesn't make too much sense for me
It's called a cartel.
He's named after an Irish county, he has brothers called Quinn, Ronan and Declan, and his dad is called Brendan.
But he'll probably be far too good for us!
Disappointed to hear he doesn't play for Young Boys.
Cavan? I'd say he still has his communion money.
Hope it's against United and Casemiro boots him over the stands, bet he's a right cocky little nobhead.
welcome to football
fecking hell…that kid was born in 2009. I was ten when that boy was born.
Is his name actually Cavan?
