If the kid is as good as he is big then I say sign him up. I believe Buzz said he garnered attention from Empoli or some Serie A side. I know we are looking at Rocha for this year but next year we must look at the 19 yr old LM from CAP's B squad named Eduardo Áquilaaka DuDu. I'm still holding out hope for KaKa more so now than ever. What shall we call the trio of DouDou, DuDu and KaKa?
[austin powers voice] man, those guys really stink up the joint. I hope they don't play like crap. the others on the team treat them like Shite ok, that's enough... [/austin powers voice]
Play by Play guy: Edu wins the ball in midfield, spots Adu on the wing, Adu sends a wonderful cross to DouDou who puts it away. GOAL...Edu to Adu to DouDou!!! Color guy: Who's doing what now?
That was me that said he had interest from Empoli. At least that was the rumor from some of the boys we coach that played high school with DouDou. I don't know how much to read into that. Also, i heard he snubbed the Georgia ODP u-18 team that played Liverpool's academy u-18 last may at Kennesaw State University. (LFC 1-1 Ga ODP)
Why do we want Dou Dou? With our total lack of aggressiveness in pursuing a quality striker or attacking midfielder, we already have Doo Doo!
Out of curiosity, why do you equate you not hearing about it as FCD having a "total lack of aggressiveness in pursuing a quality striker?" What does your awareness of it have to do with what they are actually doing? It may be you are right, but shouldn't you want them to keep it quiet to keep the market and price down?
