for 2 million

I'm guessing this is his route into the European scene

[KC McElroy]

What do you mean route into the European scene? If he signed with Benfica he already is in the European scene.

Benfica are usually in CL and if not there in Uefa Cup.

Thats good...Atm he is nowhere good enough to play in Top Europen teams...
Benfica is a good place to start but i belive he will struggle to get a regular spot even there....

Anywayz good luck to him

Nah i think he will be respected and will earn his way from a sub to a starter

[IPityDaFool]

he is getting paid the same salary, 550 K a year, as he was in MLS....rather strange if you ask me

That is only like around like 15k a week, what is strange about that?

Good for Adu this is a huge upgrade from the MLS. Sure he's playing in Portugal but at least it's Europe. The MLS is kind of in the same level as the IPL except they get paid better, and there is better organization in the MLS.

source?

I think he is over rated personally... do people actually expect him to be better than the likes of Wayne Rooney? They hyped him up waaay too much as the "next pele"... btw remember rooney was only 16 when he scored a goal for everton in the premier league, the best league in the world.

lol...

You don't have to be a fan to know Adu is very talented, he single handedly with another teammate scored and dribbled 2 goals against Brazil in the under 20 world cup and won the match. And the US was crap in that game.

Serie A > EPL and Liga > EPL

no one is saying he isnt talented, but he is simply way too overhyped (through no fault of his own). The second nike signed this guy, everyone in the U.S. started treating him as if his gonna lead them to the world cup, the best player ever blah blah. He is going to be a great playmaker but he'll never reach the levels of wayne rooney or c. ronaldo.
