At 14, Pele was kissing him; today he'd be lucky with Elizabeth Lambert
Our
buddies at Unprofessional Foul had a great piece on Freddy Adu just last week. I couldn't have
really put it better myself:
"...the guy doesn't have enough talent to play at any level higher than the MLS.
American international soccer players Landon Donovan and Eddie Johnson were officially presented as
Everton FC and Aris Thessaloniki FC players today. Donovan joins the Toffees on a 10-week loan from
the Los Angeles Galaxy while Johnson joins Aris from Fulham FC on loan for the rest of the season.
Fellow U.
After his loan from Benfica to Belenenses was cancelled last month, word has spread all across the
internet that Freddy Adu is contemplating a move to either Aris Thessaloniki FC of Greece or Hull
City of the EPL. Either choice would be a positive move for Adu, as long as it resulted in more
playing time.
Eddie Johnson says that he is looking forward to starting his 2010 with Greek club Aris
Thessaloniki and hopes that his time there will earn him a spot on the USMNT 23 man World Cup
roster.
Greek club Aris Thessaloniki F.C. is looking to add its second American in a week as the club has
extended an offer to Freddy Adu.
As reported on ESPN, Freddy Adu will be joining Eddie Johnson at Greek club Aris Thessaloniki FC.

Eddie Johnson made his debut for Aris on Wednesday, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute in his
new club's 2-0 win over Asteras Tripolis in the Greek Cup. Freddy Adu remains unavailable while
waiting on his international clearance. In the French Cup, Carlos Bocanegra got the start as Rennes
took Lille into extra time with the score 1-1.
According to the Hull Daily Mail, Benfica striker Freddy Adu,
who is currently on loan at Belenenses, wrote on his Twitter account that he is
considering a move to Hull City. Adu wrote,
"Hull or Aris. Man decisions.
Freddy Adu announced on his twitter feed that he has chosen a loan move to Greek Super League club
Aris over a rumored loan to the Premier League's Hull City. Either move would have reunited him
with an American teammate, though his 18-month loan to Aris is a year longer than Eddie Johnson's
loan from Fulham.
We're in the middle of our worst season in years (both on and off the field), but our boys know
how to turn it on for the big games, don't they?
Olympiacos? In the immortal words of Kool Rock Steady, YOU AIN'T NOBODY!!!
Full match report later today from AEKAlex.
(I guess I kind of gave my age away with the Kool Rock Steady quote, so I'll try to make up for
it with one more acronym the kids today are using: Eddie Johnson and Freddy Adu both to Aris?
We took a few days off for the holidays and there were some stories we missed...so let's play a
little catch up:
- Freddy Adu moved to Greek club Aris FC. It is an 18-month loan. This sounds
like a good move to me. The rumor was that he was deciding between Hull and Aris, and I think he
made the right decision.
An Indonesian fan with pace and dribbling but poor finishing skills. Community building in El
Salvador. (Never Captain Nicky Butt) These players...so hot right now. (Soccer Training Info)
Arguably the best player website/song ever. (Dirty Tackle) US Training sessions now to be held with
Aris. (Avoiding The Drop) Shakhtar Donetsk sign the next big Brazilian thing.
Remember when Darius Vassell went to Ankaragucu and was met with a hero's welcome which was then
met with laughter by the rest of the world? Meet Freddy Adu. Of course you've probably already met
him, or know who he is, because something in the hype machine went a bit wonky and spun wildly out

Do you remember when Freddy Adu was a young teenager? Everyone in the states hoped the child
prodigy would become the next MJ or Tiger Woods of soccer. In fact we watched him play against
guys in the MLS that were twice his age.
But even back then it seemed that Mr.
So, after our incredible win only five days earlier people were expecting similar things from
last nights game. We thought we were going to get it also after building a healthy 3-1 lead with
plenty of time left. The final score? 3-3
One thing was to blame for this result more than anything else.
Eddie Johnson looks to get another dose of playing time for Aris, while Freddy Adu will likely need
more time to make his debut.
