bettermirror Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 would he prefer playing for DC United or Royal Antwerp in Belgium? That seems to be where United loan their youths. I guess they have a few players at Rangers as well. I'm not sure Adu has the physical stature to fit into the "new" premier league - big, fast, strong, and athletic are paramount ... especially for a team such as Alex Ferguson desires. Adu may be fast and athletic. not sure about big and strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
