Freddy Adu

[Philly13]

I spent all of last year watching Adu. He is the most maddening player I've ever seen. He would take on four defenders and beat them all, and easily show he was the most talented player on the pitch, then he would just disappear. I don't get it. In so many ways it was a relief that the Union wanted to get rid of him. Now having him linked with Rovers, I don't even know.. There's like a 3% he'll rediscover his talent and be one of the best players on the team, but odds are he won't be very good. Anyway, thoughts?

* I meant to title this Freddy Adu, not Freddy.

Agreed...I was relieved when the union decided to end the adu experiment ( I'm also rover in the Philly area who has adopted the union).... Would hate him at rovers!

[Aduesque]

In all fairness, the Philadelphia Union sucked ass. He created more for those low tactical awareness bums than anyone could in a lifetime. He was inconsistent but let's not act like Philly had the personnel either. I give respect to all team he's played for like Rize, Aris, Monaco, and Benfica but the Philly Union sucked ass.

Amended Title

Looking at the above video some of his balls into the box are immense. The players around him were just awful finishers, although with Jordan Rhodes in the box we could have a goalfest. It is MLS though...

He's @#/?, he's had plenty of chances to prove he isn't but he's never taken them.

Bloody hell, have the Venkys been playing old copies of Football manager again?, someone really ought to send them the 2013 version.

Cryer says there is nothing in this rumour.

[Kelbo]

In my opinion, not what we need at all plus, I dont think there is a hope in hell of him getting a work permit!!

Is it a genuine link, or just a running joke kind of thing?
