    Re: Adude! Where's my car-eer?!: 8/15 Freddy still trains solo, no news

    Alright, last comment I'm going to make in this thread before it gets retired...

    First, I disagree with the bolded part. What makes these players different is that they have completely different levels of quickness and speed and it essentially forces them to utilize different qualities while playing. It makes them completely different. Also, the part about not being able to see how I see something in Lee that I don't in Adu is the same problem that this entire thread has man. Some people see something in Adu that others don't, that is just the nature of analyzing players isn't it? If we all agreed on everything this entire board would be smaller and would have far less constructive discussion in the end.

    Anyway, like I said, PM if you want, I'm out of this thread until the next one starts.

    To each their own bro. But yes, I too will say Adios until some more news comes out.

    Not sure about heavy moderation, post limits might be an in between step.

    Here is my thread title suggestion:
    Drippingmilk 62, ImaPuppy 60, Bolivianfuego 51, lynne 46, sidefootsitter 34, GVPATS77 26, gmonn 25

    I am inclined to agree . . .

    Nothing real earth-shattering, just that apparently talks between Adu's reps and MLS weren't active during the last week of the MLS transfer window, which was the opposite of what I thought (with the WSR rumor regarding Adu and LA). Also, Motzkin (Adu's agent) said, "that after a failed trial with Swiss club Sion, Adu had returned to Greece and was 'trying to make his way back in with Aris.'" Doesn't sound like he is all that interested in MLS...until next year, obviously, then we'll see.

    Also, I vote for Schrutebuck's thread title suggestion, just simple and descriptive. Unless someone has a great "realest egg sandwich" pun, can't get enough of that...

    Following movie based references:

    Adu-de Abides. (Did we do that one already? Surely it has been at least suggested.)

    Wasted Times at Thessaloniki High. (With Adu playing the part of Spicoli and Cuper playing the part of Mr. Hand?)

    Song variant:

    I train alone: The Freddy Adu song. (see previous post for lyrics based on I Drink Alone by George Thorogood.)

    Meta title:

    Post limits?? We don't need no stinking post limits!!


    That's all I got right now.

    Just so I'm clear, does this apply to both the people that rate him and the people that don't? Because it's not just the guys that run in ImaPuppy's circle that keep making the same points.

    There was a time back in I think late 2003 when there was talk of giving Adu his own forum because literally every other thread in the Youth National Team forum was a new one about Adu (maybe even more than every other). At least we haven't gotten to that point.

    I remember the suggestion confused people, and I don't think it was used.

    ebbro, im not sure how that applies to you. figure it out yourself. but, it sounds to me like you are one of the people who just like making meaningless trolling posts to rile to people. so maybe you should fit into a special category all your own.

    i never said stop debating but thanks for putting words in my post. all i said was stop making the same points over and over, day after day. give it a rest. we get it already.

    Something that sums up the "cons" argument, I think.
