    The much chased 14 year old Talent Freddy Adu won`t move to Manu and Chelsea or in fact any other european club for the moment.

    He signed a 6 year Professional Contract with Washington D.C. in the States.

    I think that will be a good decission. They wanna start playing him in the first team. :-)

    huge potential but then again he is only 14 like if he breaks a leg or fecks up one of his knees then bye bye good carrer

    the fast life could get to him too and then again he may thing too highly off himself

    but then again i have heard from people who have seen him play that he is amazing to watch plays training matches in defence and scores by running past everyone(underage level of course!!)

    wasnt it arsenal who paid 1m sterling to norwich (i think) for pennant when he was 15/16?? remember him being built-up to be a wonder kid, never really happened. theres an awful lot of talk about freddie adu, everyones heard of him, but noones seen him play.

    ive never seen him play but im sick of hearing of him. surely worldwide recognition at 14 will destroy the lad. noone can handle that sort of pressure surely. staying in america will be good for him, if he moves to england soon it will ruin him, he'll be built up as a god like rooney, owen etc

    I've seen video of him running circles round the first team defense of the team that has now signed him. Adu might even be the real deal! America is the right place for him.

    peannat aint that bad he's getting experience in the leeds team that will do him good and in a year or two he could become a real player he is worth a few million now so it wasnt that bad an investment but his temperment is his achilles heal

    he has to crub that and grind down to some hard work!!!

    (i think it was notts county)

    saw adu play during the summer on tv in america in the under17s? world cup.he was 13 and was running rings around everyone and scoring at will.even at 14 he has "style" that most pros dont have.
    also he is physically developed so he doesnt get pushed aside like you may expect.

    jermaine pennant was also asked to come in for questionong regarding the jody morris incident,so maybe his career will be destroyed early on.

    well if thats the case lock up the whole leeds team and while ur at it newcastle too!!

    and of course ban rio for 2 years after all thats fair:rolleyes:

    being charged is one thing
    questioned is another

    i was questioned over an incident before does that make me guilty!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭smackbunnybaby


    no it doesnt make you guilty

    but it can tarnish your reputation....i didnt say he was guilty either.
