And now, a Tweet from Freddy Adu…

September 22nd, 2009 | by: Brooks Peck |

Is Freddy being told the truth or is he already falling into the same trap he did with Benfica and Monaco?

To be perfectly honest, if I were him I would probably be buying a gun right now.

UPDATE: Freddy actually got some playing time, making his debut for Belenenses as a sub in a league cup match. From Tribal:

The 20-year old, who is on loan from Benfica, was subbed on in the 64th minute but was unable to influence his team to a win as they went down 1-0 to Rio Ave in the Group E clash.

Adu performed well on the left of midfield, creating chances for teammates and showing Belenenses manager Joao Carlos Pereira what he is capable of.

Well, that’s a step.

He played 26 minutes in a cup match yesterday and apparently played pretty well.

Dustin, didn’t mean he should turn it on himself. Why would you draw that conclusion?
SP

probably the part where you said he should buy a gun bc he can’t get playing time

Well rejoice because he played 26 minutes in this weeks Cup match and all the articles I read said he set-up 3 goal scoring opportunities and was quite creative and effective with the ball. Hopefully this means he can either make the bench and get in as a sub or start this weekend. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Unbelievable

THE ADU!!! Yes, Cmon Fredrick…you must play and play well. You will be our creative central middy hopefully next world cup!!!

Bob “BARELY” Bradley will hopefully see the light!!! And to all who say Americans who criticise their national team and then defend it against other nations are hypocrits. You ever see the god father? Its OUR family and WE can criticize it. If you are not part of our family then you can go ……….!!!

We need The Adu with Davies and Altidore, which could be very potent with Adu setting up Davies and Altidore. Let there be LIGHT!!!

SP: That’s still a bold conclusion. The implication I made was that he needs something to help him get that playing time, not end his life.

how would a gun help him get playing time?
