Sir Alex questions Adu's temperament: Read talent

At the end of the two week training camp at Man Utd, Sir Alex Ferguson had decidedly cooled on the lad's chances.

Fergie reportedly had concerns regarding Adu's temperament. Read between the lines. When you have Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, the last thing you should bring up is temperament. One of them can't distinguish between a football and testicles and the other is instrumental in getting the other one sent off because he can't distinguish between a football and testicles. He then proceeds to wink, a gesture captured by cameras all around the world. Worse, both of them are team mates in the same club and play together in the forthcoming Premiership season. Both players provided the second most downloaded highlight of the World Cup, next to Zidane's immortal headbutt of Materazzi. The inescapable fact: Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo's talent as football players far outweigh their shortcomings in temperament.

Sir Alex was in fact expressing his doubts about Adu's talent.

"Lord, I have a problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals and that hilarious comedy snake, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
"Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples." "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"What's a 'man,' Lord?"
"This man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego and an inability to empathize or listen to you properly, he'll basically give you a hard time. He'll be bigger, faster, and more muscular than you. He'll be really good at fighting and kicking a ball about and hunting fleet-footed ruminants, But, he'll be pretty good in the sack."
"I can put up with that," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow.
"Yeah well, he's better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick. But, there is one condition."
"What's that, Lord?"
"You'll have to let him believe that I made him first."
:D :D :D

I don't think so. The EPL has its Peter Crouch and it also has its Paul Scholes and Aaron Lennon too. I think Adu was really not upto the mark.

That is true. United thought he was quite average but didn't tell that in public because of a promise to MLS.

You may well be right that Sir Alex cooled a bit on the young Ghanaian, it came off that way a bit to me too but would one bet on it?

I wonder about Alexei Lalas questioning Freddy's height. As a benchmark, both Pele and Maradona were something like 5'7" and 5'8". Could this be a factor whereas Lalas was saying that Freddy might be too short for the EPL?
