Freddy Adu is coming in? Is this just a rumour? If it's true, how did we pull that off.

MLS. Actually it would not surprise me in the slightest if Venky's went out and bought an NFL player.

Not sure who it was who referred to him as the next Pele but my money would be on either his agent or Freddy himself. If Vukcevic, Formica and Rosado aren't deemed good enough by the management then I'd be very shocked if they think Adu is.
