I got it from the post I replied to.
5 million is not cheap for a player who hasn't proved anything. He's failed in MLS, he's failed in Man United's training grounds. Freddy Adu has a name for himself. That's about it. A kid who has so much potential but can never get it together. Why is that? This kid should be locked up somewhere and here he is lingering in MLS on the brink of getting sold to some sucker.
Forgive me for being a bit cautious about a player who's never lived up to the hype. When a player gets bounced around in a league that now wants to get rid of him such as MLS I have a serious problem with that. If this kid was as good as advertised MLS would enshrine him.. not trying to show him the door for the past 2 years.
Is he still young? Yes. I'd love to take a chance on him and hope he would mature, grow & succeed in Benfica.... only not for 5 million. Benfica paid 1 million for Fabio and he's far more advanced than Freddy.. 5 million for a player that can't get it together in MLS? No thanks.
