August 10, 200421 yr people in Europe and people that know soccer could give a frogs fat ass about Freddy Adu. there are 14 year old players playing all the time over there.
August 10, 200421 yr people in Europe and people that know soccer could give a frogs fat ass about Freddy Adu. there are 14 year old players playing all the time over there. 503841[/snapback] True. It happens every where in the world.Freddy Adu born in America or outside? Yo Metro just to inform you. Several team from Premier league were interested in Adu at age of 13.Adu opted to stay in U.S.
August 10, 200421 yr :lol who doesnt know his name :lol 502852[/snapback] Well, to be honest here in Italy he's not famous at all!! I remember I have read somewhere about him but I am sure 99% of italian soccer fans do not know him!
August 10, 200421 yr that's BS, u don't see 14 year olds playing in european leauges all the time. they play in the lower divisions, kind of a minor league system. freddy adu is considered the best player in the world at his age and he wasn't going to play in any top league had he gone to europe, he would have played in the development teams.

Freddy Adu starting for the DC United at 14?? great feat, big no big deal.
August 10, 200421 yr Gianluca Buffon played his first match as a goalie at 15 for AC Milan ... now thats some tuff stuff goalie at 15 ... woah regular field player at 15 different deal but a goalie thats too much pressure

Freddy Adu starting for the DC United at 14?? great feat, big no big deal. 504437[/snapback] it is a big deal because he's playing with veterans, he's not playing for a 2nd or 3er division team full of youngsters.
August 10, 200421 yr the players i just named ALL played on a team full of veterans, and to add more, on the top teams in their country, and in harder leagues. AND with and against waaaaaaaaaay better players.
August 10, 200421 yr the players i just named ALL played on a team full of veterans, and to add more, on the top teams in their country, and in harder leagues. AND with and against waaaaaaaaaay better players. 504450[/snapback] totti wasn't captainning roma at 16. he actually debuted at 16 and didn't become a regular until he was 18 i wasn't until 17 that raul debuted with real madrid rooney started at almost 17, not 15 in the premier league.
August 10, 200421 yr point well made. anywho, playing over there at 16 and 17 is the equivalent of playing in the MLS at 14. good job doing your homework, didnt think anyone would actually check on those.
August 10, 200421 yr Author Chill out people...I don't really follow the MLS much so I just had his name on the tip of my tounge that day. I think it's a terrible waste if he doesn't go to play in the European leagues. He is better off developing with the youngsters of a major European team than playing with the "veterans" of the MLS. I wanted to know his name because I think my team should sign him, so I was discussing him on their board (Fiorentina.it). He is still young so it's no biggie if he doesn't go to Europe right away, but I think it would have been better for him (my opinion). Freddy Adu in Florence could probably be a starter in 2 years, maybe 1 if he does well if he went there right now.
