T.K. how do you rate Freddy Adu's progress as a professional? Methinks twas a horrible mistake to throw him into a club like DC United to play with grown men at age 14. A youth academy where he would have been adequately coached & mentored might have a been a more appropriate strategy to develop him as a professional.

RE: Yuh know say is pure eediat ting ah gwaan pon dis

That is a good question Hortikal.

I don't agree with your assesment that is was a horrible idea for him to go D.C. United. What was a horrible idea was the amount of pressure put on him to be the saviour of the league. That was criminal by his handlers and MLS.

The only person I can really relate Freddy's experience to is Bobby Convery who came in at 16 which is actually the age I believe Freddy really was when he came in.

It took Convery 3 years to get settled at D.C. and command a starting position. Freddy is now inhis 3rd year and is starting as well. In saying that however Convey was definitely further along and if the 3rd year pro Convey wascompeting with the 3rd year pro Freddytoday he would be starting over Adu.

I admit I am a geek and go to D.C. United practices regularly.

The biggest difference to me with Freddy today and Convey back then is maturity. Convey was extremely mature and showed an understanding way beyond his years of what it meant to be a professional player. From day one he was the hardest working player at D.C. United practices. Every practice was played at game speed and intensity when it came to Convey. There was no loafing around no half-assing it.

With Freddy he is motivated but he is alsovery emotional. When things are going well they are really going well. When things are going bad they go really bad. Whenhe makes a few mistakes he is finished for the practice or game mentally. He does not handle adversity well.

To be fair he is starting for the best team by a country mile in MLS right now so I cannot knock him too bad. I think Freddy is right on course. He has improved every year in the league and even defends now which he never used to do. As well he is very good with the dead ball situations. He's moving along just fine. - T.K.

Jawge, moderators will move your post to the correct forum if it is not football related. Sorry if someone felt your post was not football related and moved it to where it belongs. As to your friend who has stopped posting because he does not like what is going on, sorry to hear. Some people won't like order if it is coming from us Jamaicans. They will go somewhere else and fall in without problems though. We have to live witht he fact that try as we may, we will not be able to please everyone.
