    He's there, in Championship Manager 4 as a free agent!

    I signed him to Real Madrid, and he scored on a free kick in his first game. Zidane was kinda upset he didn't get the start, but then he saw the skill of the 13-year-old wonderkid...

    I hate him because he dissed my offer to start for growing English Conference power, Forest Green Rovers, instead choosing to languish in the reserves at Ajax. Mark my words when I get FGR to the CL and if we ever play Ajax he'll find 10 players man-marking him with hard-tackling instructions.

    Seriously though I'd love an editor to come out just to see what kind of hidden ratings and potential he has. I assume it's pretty high judging form the teams that were interested in him before he signed, but I'd still like to see it.

    I'm buying him. No matter what it takes.

    In Champ Manager, I can never resist the 17 year old with gaudy stats who costs me 5 million pounds--thereby preventng me from signing a veteran that I could really use--who spends 3 years hanging out in reserves, and who then either turns out to be mediocre or who bolts for another club because he's unhappy.

    So if that's my tendency, why not go down with Freddy!

    My Assistant Manager actually advised me AGAINST buying Freddy.

    He's now looking for a new job.

    This is the demo of the "Gold Disk" [edit]which just came out yesterday[/edit]and the full copy comes out in the UK on the 28th. Otherwise this demo hardly has the MLS in it at all. Maybe 4 teams are in the database. Will be intresting in the full version to see how interested he is in playing in MLS.

    he's class, but you CAN'T buy him for an English side, darn ol' work permits. I bought him with Ajax, he's class, but tires easily.

    At 13 yrs Fredua might easily be the youngest player ever in the CM games. I allready offered him a contract, hopefully he wont be intimidated by the Nazi fans at Lazio.

    Adu set for PSV

    Freddy Adu is over the moon after agreeing terms with PSV.

    He mentioned he is looking forward to working alongside manager Guus Hiddink.

    He rejected offers from Lazio, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.
    :(

    Oh well at least i was able to get Diego :)

    '00-'01 had AMR Adam Fleming, also 13. But I don't know if he was a real person, or just a pre-assigned unsigned player.

    Adam was pretty good, not great.

    Diego has sweet stats for 17, but Freddy's are just mediocre. I intend to fix that when I get the full game.

    His free kicks, technique, dribbling, balance and acceleration need to be boosted.

    Re: Re: Freddy Adu in CM4!

    I am thinking that Fredua will be CM4's version of Arjen Robben. :)

    Diego is 16 in my game, also i think Fredua stats are decent for a 13yr old. My assistant coach even said that he had loads of potential. Remeber its the hidden stats that are the most important.

    His free kicks, technique, dribbling, balance and acceleration need to be boosted.

    You plan on using Fredua right away !??! In three or four years of training with the reservers or Lower league teams should raise his stats..

    Doesn't the Demo only have an English quickstart in it? How are you guys playing other leagues?

    You guys can direct all thanks of Mr. Adu in CM4 to Oakland Stomper, and indirectly myself! Hope you enjoy signing him, but beware he's only on a youth contract and can be snatched out from under you!

    What do you mean reserves?

    Freddy Adu is the best in the world, regardless of age. Zidane will sit and watch Adu or go elsewhere!

    I still think his stats should be a tad higher. Honestly, he can go toe-to-toe with MLS players. Also, why is Donovan on Leverkusen? And why do his stats suck?
