Europe Tempts The Young

Submitted by Flood, Aug 7, 2007 02:18

Vela's family moved to Europe for supposedly "non football reasons" which is why he was able to transfer. Also Adu got plenty of starting time, he started 2/3 o games in his second season, every game but 2 or 3 in his third, and every game in his most recent. His "problem" was that he was on the wing, it was a problem in the sense that it kept him from being dominant, but he was still a 2 time all-star from the wing. So not that inconsistent. You can see videos online, in almost every game he would make perfect passes that just weren't finished, that may have been the main problem.

Hope he does well in Portugal.
