Would be a great pick up but the striker position is loaded this year. Not sure if Adu would get a game ahead of Cardozo, Bergisso, Nuno Gomes and not to mention Mantorras and Dabao. Maybe Adu can play on the wing?
I've been very impressed with Adu in the World Cup. He has loads of Speed and I love the way he takes on players.
Imagine this 4-4-2 line-up
---------------------Bergisso----Cardozo-------------------------
Simao---------------------------------------------------------Adu
-----------------Katsouranis----Manuel Fernandes------------
Leo--------------Luisao-------------Luiz------------------Nelson
----------------------------Moreira--------------------------------
With that said I'm surprised he hasn't attracted interest from other clubs.**One thing for sure is that Benfica are scouting players from the MLS. We've previousy shown interest in Eddie Johnson and purchased Thornton 2 seasons ago.
