  • Perhaps so. It is probably best for Adu as well.

You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

      ... which doesn't always mean he is the best MLS player out there .

      • Alan Pardew sacked by West Ham...

        Any bets who will be the next manager to get the sack?

        I hope Rafael Benitez gets the sack the fat bastard.

          • He is seriously the most boring thing to happen to the premiership after Houllier.

            He was called the sleeping pill in Spain...

                • Yep, then Pardew will take over Charlton and they both get relegated.

                  Good stuff...

                    That's nonsense! My Football Manager team has him and Jan Vennegor of Hesselink up front, and he's got 6 goals from 7 games so far. This proves it!

                    • Well, let's put it this way. I'm more excited about Altidore than Adu. Both are 17-year olds. Altidore is Mr. Production.

                      • Adu has like 60 starts, Altidore has 7. I guess this is mostly because Adu matured phyiscally more quickly.

                        I still wonder about Adu's attitude, although we can only read what the press tells us, he seems arrogant and unprofessional at times. Not totally unexpected from a 17yo but its something to consider if youre a top club investing millions.

                          Sounds like Wayne Rooney.... but not as good .

                          • I don´t think Adu will make it, at least not in england. He's pretty lightweight and what has he to offer? He is a attacking midfielder who scores little. Can he cross? Can he dribble? Can he pass? I have to admit though that I have never seen the lad play so I cant really judge him.

                            Also it seemed that Sir Alex didn´t really want him to come on a trial. First they denied any interest and then after a few hours they said that he would be coming on trial?? Methinks this is the Glazers who want the kid to make some dollars in the US of A

                            • The Glazers have to make as many dollars as they possibly can, because otherwise they're flat broke.

                                When he starts playing like Rooney then he can start acting like a complete pr1ck.

                                Thats not to say Rooney acts that way. Hes actually quite professional off the pitch, and ive rarely seen him be arrogant. Hes just... hot-headed.
