    A quick Google should show about 10,000 articles. They all seem to begin "Much Adu about..." He's not a bad player. Still learning the game but seems to get better every time with flashes of future brilliance. Why has no EPL team snapped him up? Uh, he's 15 years old.

    I heard that Pele says Adu is better than him at that age

    Yes, and in the great Sierra Mist showdown... Pele says a lot of things, but mostly he seems to say what peole want to hear. If Adu continues to develop at the same rate, in a few years he's going to be an awfully good player. But who knows what his future is? I'm really enjoying watching the kid grow into his game. Makes me glad that he's in our league where I can watch him every week and not running around some anonymous pitch with some big club's youth team.

    Hey, I haven't played Football Manager 2005 yet. Can you just sign him right away? Without having to wait until he turns 18 in three years? (I always play as Newcastle, so I'd like to see him in St. James).

    Yeah, you have to look for him in the American league, then put an outragously high bid in, and it should get accepted, only trouble now is, he wont sign a new contract and is leaving in the summer for free, under the Bosman.

    In the real world, no one in Europe has snapped him up because they can't. He's not yet 18, and he doesn't have a EU passport, therefore he is technically only allowed to play professionally in the United States or Ghana.

    Playing as a 14 year old with the U-20 in the latest U-20 world championship when they almost beat Argentina

    http://www.mifutbol.com/videoGoles/gol2-69.wmv

    One of his first games as a US citizen when he was 13.U-17 vs Guatemala U-17.

    http://www.mifutbol.com/videoGoles/gol2-63.wmv

    Amazing control

    http://www.mifutbol.com/videoGoles/gol2-56.wmv

    Another great goal in the same qualifying tourney vs Jamaica U-17.

    Go to Col@DC video-He was man of the match. You can watch the entire game.

    http://www.mlsnet.com/MLS/sights/index.jsp?club=mls&week=0808

    Go to DC@SJ video-Some sweet moves when he enters the game around the 80th minute.

    http://www.mlsnet.com/MLS/sights/index.jsp?club=mls&week=0725

    Go to DC@Dal video- pretty solid game,forced an own goal.

    http://www.mlsnet.com/MLS/sights/index.jsp?club=mls&week=0523

    Go to LA@DC video-scores an absolute cracker in the second half.

    Story from Steven Goff-The definitive source on all things Adu.

    Now make your own conclusions. He's 13-15 years old in every video.
