There is an 18 year old who played, but nothing on his player page indicates that he is an academy player.  His wiki page indicates that he is with the senior team.

This 18 year old Curtis Jones guy that you used as an example, is a good example.  He has played 13 games with the academy team this season and has also spent time with the premier league club, or is still there now.

Not according to these...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Jones_(footballer)  -- shows 0  academy games

https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=111601 -- only one academy preseason game

https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/matches/_/id/190257/team/16728 -- 0 academy games (click the dropdown for U21)

https://fbref.com/en/players/4fb9c88f/Curtis-Jones -- 0 academy games

 

First, let's not sidetrack this any further.  There's a soccer thread in the Clubs section and I'm happy to discuss there.  For the purpose of discussion that actually is relevant to this thread, it remains that there is no traditional NA-style farm system in soccer, as far as I'm concerned.

Second, it's time for you to show where you're getting your info from.  Again, in the soccer thread, please.
