    I think he was referring to Frankenstein the creature, not Frankenstein the doctor... :)

    Yeah, but even the monster was fairly intelligent, especially considering the whole reanimated corpse thing.

    Basically, his metaphor is a more apt metaphor for Adu's career than what he was getting at.

    :facepalm:

    I think you are reading waaaaaay to much into his analogy.... :cool: And explaining a joke simply loses it's initial "funny" anyway so time to move along.

    I'm pretty sure we all think Adu is brighter than a fictional reanimated corpse.








    ...or maybe not. :eek:

    no no no, the point being that the monster came back from the dead and really tore things apart. here's hoping freddy does the same in oberbayern. nothing but the best wishes to him.

    plus, i'm happy to see another american player south of the weisswurstäquator.

    Re: Omgf freddy adu to fc ingolstadt

    There are already more than 100 posts about this in the Adu thread. :D

    Btw, does anyone have a link to that legendary Adu-gameday thread that had about 200 posts and he didn't even play?
    I'd like to read that again.

    I haveth justeth merged this with the pre-existing thread, based on the fact that this news was already broken in it. We shall treateth your thread title as a suggestion for the next Freddy thread. But let the scribe note that there are other such suggestions, and many lieges in this court.

    I'm going to try my tabloid reporter impersonation and post some Twitter gossip on Freddy.

    Now, the Greek Aris fans need to chime in if this was true as well there.
