EJ & Adu: Aris Salonica vs Panathinaikos 24/1/2010

I know it is still early in their move to Aris - but if Freddy and EJ can't begin to get more time it really concerns me. A lurking concern is that it will be very natural for the two of them to bond and hang out. What I wonder is which of them will be the one who focuses them on doing the extra work, focusing on what they need to do to get better and 'keeping their nose to the grindstone'? They have both struck me as guys that can get a little too caught up in themselves or down rather than the ones who know how to fight through down periods. I hope they get time and I hope they build a constructive, supportive relationship that helps them both get even more time and success.

 

We cannot do anything about these issues. Mr Kooper is responsible for the issues and as we say "Mr. Kooper" knows what to do".
Our tasc is to help them and the team in general in difficult situations.

 

If Mr. Kooper can get these two to excell on Aris' first team than I say "Fire Bradley and Hire Kooper !"

 

I don't see where this perception would come from. If anything Adu has seemed almost inappropriately positive as if not dealing in reality. Every week in Monaco he posted, "I'm playing the next game, my coach says I'm doing great". Every week at Beleneese, "watch the game" I'm gonna play. So far at Aries the same ultra positive communication has repeated. I can't know if he is crazy, being lied too, the best actor in the world or just gooey positive by nature but I would not describe Adu's outlook during these 2.5 hell years as being down. Heck at some point I almost wish he would get pissed.

 

The post was not comparing Aris to those other clubs. It was pointing out that the poster I responded too had no reasonable basis to suggest Adu hasn't maintained a positive outlook, despite the trials of the last 2.5 years.

 

since adu will be 100% ready when he debuts, can we expect a hat trick from adu?

 

Should've known, saw GDT @ 26 pages a figured our boys did something noteworthy, nah. Just another battle of typical MLS fanboys overrating our league and condescending Euro fanboys slagging off on MLS.

 

Saw that

Also saw much more space spend slagging off on the quality of each others league.

 

fair enough. i disagree that MLS players would get eaten for dinner top to bottom in the greek league, but your obviously entitled to your opinion, as long as it is an informed one which it seems to be.

far to many people knock MLS without seeing so much as a single game.

 

Meh.
