14 year old Freddy Adu has sign a contract with the MLS already. Talk about crazy.:eek:

that crazy
good for him

WOW! Thats awsome, hopefully he will do good.

Have you seen him play? He's SICK. Sportscenter did a piece on him last year, and showed a clip where he scrimmaged with MLS players. He was schooling them then as well, and was only 13. My guess is he'll be just fine.

Since I am a DC United season ticket holder (row 2 seat 2 at midfield) guess I will find out first hand. I read where Inter Milan tried to sign him when he was 11 :eek:

"This clearly proves to all of those people who believe we would not get this done that M.L.S. is far more formidable and serious about this business than people give us credit for," Garber said. "

Actually to me, it says "So yeah, he wanted to start playing at a professional level at age 14 and not age 18 as would be the case if he went overseas." My guess is he's off overseas when he gets a little older.... :)

I'd like to see him play. Usually MLS games don't hold my interest like the overseas league games we used to get on Fox Sports World, but maybe he could help that out.
