Freddy Adu

[galés rojo]

Ghana say they want him to play for them in the world cup,would be a loss for the usa as he has the potential to be a special player for them. However i can't see Nike letting it happen ,they have paid Adu a lot of money to be the face of "Soccer" in the USA and i don't know how happy they would be with this.

The lad isn't good enough at the moment. He did nothing in the U-20 WC recently and has by no means even got a regular place in his club team.

Yeah, he's crap........... ............he's very young and will only improve as he gains more experience...........

 

MLS Experience

2005: Despite missing a number of games due to his time with the U-20 U.S. National Team at the FIFA Youth World Championships, Adu was impressive in his second MLS season. Adu, who spent time both in the midfield and at forward, scored four goals and dished out six helpers in 25 games (16 starts). He tied for the team lead (w. Gomez) with three game-winning goals, while notching two game-winning assists. He was twice named the Honda MLS Player of the Week - first, in Week 6, when he notched a goal and tallied two assists in D.C.'s 3-1 win over the Columbus Crew and second, in week 28, when he had a goal and an assist in the team's 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake. His Week 6 honor made him the youngest player to ever the award, and the first teenager since 2001.

2004: As a rookie, Adu was one of two D.C. United players to see time in every match during the 2004 campaign. Comfortable in either the forward or attacking midfield role, Adu became the youngest player ever to appear in a Major League Soccer match on 4/3 (14 years, 306 days) and became the youngest player ever to score a goal in League play on 4/17 (14 years, 320 days). He was also named a commissioner's pick to the 2004 Sierra Mist All-Star Game and continued to improve throughout the year, tallying a total of five goals and three assists. The phenom scored his first game-winning goal by providing the sole tally in a 1-0 victory over the MetroStars at Giants Stadium on 10/2. After signing a multi-year deal with MLS on 11/18/03, Adu was selected by D.C United as the first overall pick of the 2004 MLS SuperDraft on 1/16. United acquired the first draft pick by trading future considerations to FC Dallas.

Who wrote that his Agent, Mother or the MLS as they try and squeeze every dime out of his name. The lad has great potential but certainly isn't the finished article. It would be foolish to play him in this WC as he just isn't at that stage in his very young career yet.
