At 11 managers in just 9 years,* - 12 if you count Kupon's reserve team coach who wouldn't play him Finland's D4 - across 7 countries and 3 continents, he seems to attract an awful lot of jealous managers in a lot of different cultures. PT isn't given to players , they steal it from other players by being better & giving the manger no choice. You think Freddy's entitled to PT because of his ability, and Fredy seems to share that opinion. Me? I go along with John Wooden; "Ability can take you to the top. Only character can keep you there." *RSL, Benfica, Monaco, Belenenses, Aris, Rizespor, Philly, Bahia, Jagodina, Kupon and Tampa
The managers failed to accommodate Freddy. He's a star player that you should build a team around, not some second rate journeyman.
From what I have seen, Mr. Adu has not impressed enough to be allowed to play. However, I'm surprised that he has received 0 playing minutes, you would think that he would be used in our last Match against Colombus Crew after we went down 3-0... just to let him go out and run around at least for 20 or 30 minutes of a match that was doomed since very early. How much money did we pay for this guy?

The ref purposely cheated the Rowdies out of a couples minutes of extra time, denying Freddy the chance he deserved to mount a comeback.
My untrained eye thought he had one good cross but the majority of the action was on the other side of the field

That's it. This man is finished. I doubt he can score against the drecks on CONCACAF unless by score you mean freaking awesome chip passes that lead to nowheresville. It's over Johnny.
The Rowdies were too busy backpassing and square passing to get Adu any significant touches. Then he wastes time getting off a weak free kick.
It's not Adu's fault. The limited time he had on the filed showed the class he had over the rest of the scrubs on the field.
