Re: Freddie Adu?

repped! Thank you for that. And I agree.. they are the future. Couple with better youth academies.. and the US maybe mining Central America for young talent, to bring up, then sell off to Europe... that would get some decent money going into the MLS. Do this and slowly but surely you are more respectable as a league. Then the money and better talent will follow. (hopefully)

Funny, I thought Walcott looked like shit recently and was maybe Arsenal's worst player when they faced off against Barca in the CL.

and lol at Adu going to the Timbers... he still commanded a few million pounds (or euros, whatever) even though he hadn't played in two years.

if he washes out in Europe, though, he could end up in Portland's MLS team, I guess, because it makes sense that he'd come back stateside and maybe they'd want to place him in a new franchise?

I agree that Walcott was one of our worst players this but he completely changed the game when he was subbed on during the Emirates game. The return leg wasn't one of his best, that's for sure. I feel like this is a good choice by Capello. Walcott still has time to turn his career around and hopefully this nudges him in the right direction.
