Graffito Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 Saints seeking work permit for Adu. Not the most reliable source but I guess they may have picked it up from elsewhere.

whizzpop Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 Would be a good signing...will get us noticed more. But he hasn't fulfilled the potential he was given as a 15 year old. Much like Walcott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Rabbit Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 A good signing?! it would be a****ing incredible signing!! He would run riot in this league..he's still only about 20-21 isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 I feel this would be Much Adu About Nothing. Does anyone get a sense of de ja vu? :-) Yes, he'd be a high profile signing, but his career has taken a tumble - can we make him the man version of the kid that had so much promise?

whiteleySaint30 Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 Would prefer Papa or antonio back anyday. This boy has done nothing for years. He was used by Nike to be their 'brand' in the USA as he had massive potential which unfortunately he didnt fulfill hence why he is playing for a greek team no one has heard of.

whiteleySaint30 Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 Not suggesting that, just saying he has fallen by the wayside somewhat, he was in the sqaud at the age of 16 but now plays in greece for an un heard of team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Rabbit Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 He might see it as a move to get his career back on track...Maybe too much pressure got to him at a young age and he rushed to European big clubs and didn't produce...coming here may be very good for him...

Huntingdon Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 I'd be astonished if he signed, but like others have already said - it shows how far he has recently declined I don't doubt that we have made an enquiry This would suggest Papa Waigo probably won't return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintscottofthenortham Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 How come my thread of this was closed yesterday? I find it amusing how there are people on here saying they would like us to sign Papa Waigo permanantly but right Freddy Adu off because he "failed to live upto the hype." guys who are capable of this... - At the age of just 16, don't lose that abilty down a drainpipe all of a sudden. He was hyped at an incredibly young age and it affected him. Benfica are trying to gently get him back to his best. If they see us a way to get him there, I certainly ain't gonna grumble just because he "failed" to be what he was "hyped" to be. Papa Waigo or Freddy Adu... LOL.

Unheard of? Aris are one of the top teams in Greek, beaten cup finalists this season, played in Europe on many occassions. Of course he is owned by that unheard of Portuguese team Benfica.
