Yessssss! He is to the Rowdies what Jose Canseco was to the Devil Rays back in the God-awful Hit Show era: the one player you delay going to the concourse to grab a beer... Instead stay in your seat to watch what extraordinary play could happen next. Oh, and they both like the strip clubs (allegedly).
The Rowdies also signed Tom Heinemann who can help Freddy by converting the chances he creates for him.
Good interview by @SoccerByIves catching up with Freddy Adu as he takes stock of his career, Tampa Bay Rowdies https://t.co/TOvplMQlLZ— Subscribe to GrantWahl.com (@GrantWahl) January 28, 2016
Good acquisition. A big center forward we can use in the box. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Heinemann
No idea. He was 100% expected to play, he even talked about the coming game vs. DC in an interview the day before: But, even though the Rowdies used many players, he didn't appear: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-debut-in-1-0-preseason-victory-over-rowdies/ "The Rowdies made 10 changes at halftime. Freddy Adu, who launched his career at age 14 with United in 2004, did not play." At this point, it's a puzzle. PS: Freddy was pumped about the game a few hours before kickoff, on his Twitter account. After that, he's been talking about superhero movies.
It is a bit weird given all the chatter, but it's also preseason. Never know what the coaches are thinking there.
Okay so it was preseason... against a college team. But still, it's a nice goal. .@FreddyAdu's go-ahead goal. @TommyHeinemann with the assist. pic.twitter.com/2mgVYaOwqc— Tampa Bay Rowdies (@TampaBayRowdies) March 6, 2016
Another Freddy goal against a college team, haha. Here's another look at @FreddyAdu's goal. pic.twitter.com/7JJWj7ed35— Tampa Bay Rowdies (@TampaBayRowdies) March 23, 2016
So we've determined that is what he needs to do is go play college soccer? Poster boy for 'Stay in school '
Hitting a free kick like that, doesn't matter who it's against, great free kick, great goal, I just hope freddy keeps scoring goals
Indeed. At least he's getting on the field. By the looks of it, he's played quite a bit in the last few matches. While it's not lining up for Bayern against Man U, it's better than riding the pine in the Finnish top flight.
Tonight's roster vs. Miami: Starting XI from hail to Point1: Pickens King Mkandawire (c) Collins Sweat Nanchoff Guerra Avila Burgos Alhassan Heinemann Rowdies subs: GK Langer; D Hall, Sanfilippo; M Chavez, Espinal; F Hristov, Mwanga Freddy still injured? With what?
What IS up with the media coverage? The last local guy to write about the Rowdies was @dareksharp, and by his tweets, he's in Cleveland doing radio with the arena football team. WTF
He did writeup something for the home opener but it was just a recap, no real nuggets of info. I don't get it. It's a St. Pete team. The Tampa Bay Times should be pimping the Rowdies more since it's their town.
Freddy Adu isn't injured, just hasn't made the cut for the gameday roster yet. #Rowdies #NASL https://t.co/QpnEoDDRnO— The Unused ⭐ Substitutes ⚽ Show 💚💛 (@UnusedSubsPod) April 15, 2016
Not for money he's making, that guys just baffles me, whay happened to him? I mean I didn't think he was gonna tear up the league or anything, but christ you cant even practice good enough to dress for the game, wtf?
FWIW: On the bus trip to Miami last weekend I asked the same question (because we saw Adu and savage train atALF and not travel with the team to Miami) rumor has it that Campbell does not Adus drive or hustle in practice. Adu is healthy, but it's Campbell's decision. If this is the case Freddy needs to man up. His chances are drying up, and we need him in our attack.
