Just a few of points, first, Freddy Adu.  I’m probably an equal hater and fan of this kid.  So much potential and it seems to all be going to pot on account of a poor attitude, work ethic or something like that.  To his defense I believe he’s been played out of position for a long time now, he’s NOT a winger. And if the decision truly is between him and Marfan at CAM then Hackworth should find a way to get both on at the same time a la Xavi/Iniesta or play the better wing option of the two out wide [hint: it’s not Freddy] If we go out and get a big time playmaker then I think that’s it for Mr. Adu, but I’d be willing to give him one last chance, given he plays in his natural position.

Speaking of playing out wide, for the love of God Hack, either pick a better formation or play it correctly please. The problems we have are pretty apparent, we need to solve this solve the Freddy situation as quickly as possible and get a replacement playmaker if necessary, get a real left back, a DP striker, and get back to DOOPing Philly Style! That is all. See you guys in 2013
