Let’s face it: We all know that he’s the perfect player for the brain surgeons running the team.

I actually don’t even think he’d sell tickets

Why does it not surprise me that FCD might get him long after the hype that could at least be used to sell tickets is gone?

He’s got some talent and I want to see him develop but I totally agree that he doesn’t belong at FC Dallas or really in MLS at all. I think he’d be better served by going to a second division European league. He might get some playing time there and he wouldn’t get stomped on like he would in MLS.

I would be shocked if Adu came back to MLS.

I think the hype has disappeared. Bringing himhere will do nothing for FCD as a team or in the stands

Hey here is an idea…we grab Freddy Adu on allocation, and then get Denilson on loan from Vietnamese club Xi Mang Hai Phong FC!

More Midfielders dammit! I want we see SH play a 2-6-2 formation before the year is over!

“Some teams have Kaka; others sign his friend Saragosa, who plays like Kaka.”

OK… trade saragosa for Gordon in La… then Guarda for Pontius in DC… switch up to a 3-4-3 and just score goal… if the team is going to end up 5-15-10 or something… I want alot of goals….put peri and shea up top… cooper as a withdrawn forward… mids are avila, vbd, ricchetti, and dax… def is moor, wagner and wallace

Use our DP slot for an undersized MF that can’t play defense and pouts on the bench? Brilliant!!! Let’s raise ticket prices!

Buzz,

If not Adu, who do you suggest FCD should use their allocation towards? Or should they just hold it?

But, I think we all agree Adu does need to play. Perhaps he should play in the Dutch league where many younger players cut their teeth before moving up.

If this happens, I’m just going to pretend that it’s 2004 and he’s arriving after we selected him with the 1st overall pick in the MLS draft. Since this is how it should have gone down before the MLS powers-that-be screwed us over, this will be my revisionist memory.

FCD should be thrilled to get any USMNT caliber player if one comes home. For a guy like Adu you are talking DP money. I think he makes 1.5 million now. No worries though, he’s not coming back to America until he’s in the 35-40 range and then take our DP money.

I actually would love to see Adu here. The team isn’t exactly working how it is right now.

Adu needs to go to France. That would be the perfect league for his game, IMO.

@ Z-He tried going to France on loan from Benfica. Apparently, it didn’t work out for him.

He needs to stay his ass in Portugal for a couple more seasons.

Freddy would be a hell of a lot better than Heath Pearce and some other names I’ve heard out there. MLS is a physical league that requires athleticism and Ferreira has neither of those. This would be a nice pickup, I’m surprised people don’t think he could come in and make an impact

After today’s performance in S. Africa i think Beasley is the next to come home to try to resurrect his career. There’s no way Bradly put him on the MNT again with straight face. I think he’s be better than Adu, would sell tickets, and he’d continuously let us down with bad touches and costly turnovers . . . a perfect fit!

Freddy Adu has tried the 2nd tier Euro leagues, and isn’t cutting it. MLS is perfect for him to actually play, and having a former collegiate coach might be the right idea, but FCD has way too many issues right now, and a DP won’t solve them.

Multiple players will.

Trade the #1 allocation slot and DP slot to a team with a former US U-20 coach with a collegiate national championship so he can learn the game. Heck, the team I’m thinking of has plenty of depth even.

Adu wouldn’t be back in MLS for DP money. He wouldn’t be cheap, but he wouldn’t break the bank.

Unfortunately, with SH refusing to start Avila, I think for sure Freddy wouldn’t get a game either. It would be a wasted pickup.

However, he is a better passer than cunningham, and would be a better player to pair with Cooper up top. Just saying… he would certainly be an improvement over some of the players on the roster.

Dan, the amount of posts in this thread should tell you about the Adu hype factor.

Robert. Beasley won’t shock me, but I believe he’s got a year left on his contract. I might take a run at Torres.

Can’t imagine why Torres would want to come to this mess. Actually that goes for anyone.

I’d take Adu way before Beasley! Beasley’s confidence is way down, and just isn’t a game changer. I think Benny Feilhaber needs to get to MLS and get games under his belt. That guy is one of the few players on the MNT that actually has some composure and needs to be playing in next years World Cup (that’s if they even qualify…). FCD should be trying to get him… He seems a more realistic target than all the others..

I think Beasly’s career is just about over. He might not be able to fully recover from the knee inury. Some players dont come back from such an injury. Of course, I’M not one of them…

I’d take Adu over David Ferreira in a second. Adu has good touch, deception, and is an excellent free-kick specialist. Ferreira doesn’t hold the ball well, he doesn’t provide any defense either, and so far hasn’t showed an outside shot.

It won’t happen anyways.

[...] Adu: I posted before that the “he needs to be playing” tag had resurfaced.  Apparently he’s surplus to requirements in Portugal.  Now on [...]
