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.


Its because theres no variation of play in the mls. Every team plays the same way, and its not as technical or artful as it could be given the talent of the players. In Portugal, and especially in Spain, where the world's most beautiful league soccer is played, there is plenty of variation, and a chance for a young, talented player to use his skills and develop them in an atmosphere conducive to flair on the ball and creativity.

How come Donovan is not getting picked up by some mid-table European team? Does he not want to leave?

Donovan strikes me as the kind of guy who enjoys tearing up the mls. Bid fish in a small pond sort of mentality. But I'm surprised hes not getting offers  :saywhat: Is he?

i don't know, but he's making bank in socal with a nice house and nice cars.  it sounds like a pretty good life.

he has had interest (even after the leverkusen "debacle"), but he has decided to stay in the states

he was born in socal and lives in socal.  he probably likes it there.  i can't really blame him.  some people like to be close to home, and if if there was any home to like, that would be a good one  :pimp:
