Adu or Altidore?

[TheGodEmperor]

Who is better? They are both 'american soccer prodigies' so comparison is appropriate.

[a;sdlfkjas;df]

it's a tough comparison to make.  i guess if i had to choose one player to play on my team right now, i would choose freddy.

[TheGodEmperor]

I think I agree...except boy can Altidore play. I think they'll be the two best players of the USA in two years

[a;sdlfkjas;df]

i wouldn't go that far.  landon will be in his prime, and there are others who are in a position to make a push for that claim in two years

freddy will be close.  i don't think altidore is that far along yet

[TheGodEmperor]

I beg to differ....Altidore has the raw talent and a trip to Europe will cement it. Landon...ahhhh he'll be good, but I think his progress will slow a lot in the years to come

[JohnnyDrama]

in 2 years jozy will be, what, 19? i don't think hell even be a first team regular then. best player in two years...michael bradley after he moves to everton :cheers:

[dr0wZ]

altidore by a long shot.
adu fell into his on hype...plus he aight.

[michaelhindle]

i prefer adu

[a;sdlfkjas;df]

Altidore has the raw talent and a trip to Europe will cement it

exactly.  adu is much closer to a finished product

in 2 years jozy will be, what, 19? i don't think hell even be a first team regular then.

about 20.5.  he turned 18 around the jan. transfer window

best player in two years...michael bradley after he moves to everton

 :cheers: he was one of the "others."  set the american record for goals scored in a season in europe this past year in holland



that guy is pretty good too

adu fell into his on hype...plus he aight.

have you seen him play lately?

[TheGodEmperor]

ok yeah Bradley is damn good....maybe I'll revise that to say top 4 plaers in the USA...and Adu is playing well in Portugal...he just needed to get out of the mls...where he played since he was 14 -- a boy among men.

Altidore will do great (performance) compared to Adu in Benfica but in overall talent Adu edges
i like to believe Adu jumped to Benfica too early

[Adi]

Speaking of Howard, I bet Man U wishes they still had him.

I think Adu is a bit better at the moment, especially after watching him in the last 3 US games. He played against very good opposition and did well. Altidore will develop nicely in Spain I believe. I think both players made wise career decisions by moving to Europe. It's already easy to see how Adu has matured more in the past year in Portugal than he has in his 3 years in the MLS.
