based on what, football managers view of him? How many of you have seen him play? Consistently? With any form that would show he could play in the prem? Ive heard form people who have and say he isnt that special (also remmeber the american league is extremely weak compared to the prem)

I've heard he's really overratted from Americans and wouldn't make it in the Prem.

I think the guy is an expeptional talent Check the pass on this video at 1:48 You don't have talent like that and don't make it I've heard he's really overratted from Americans and wouldn't make it in the Prem.

He certainly has talent, but I'd like to see more of him compete at a larger level than the MLS to really assess how he'd do in the Prem. If we can get him for cheap it might be worth it...

i think we will get him now we have gone all american(sorry) I'll be signed with Adu as well. While I can't do much other than slide tackle, I'll make sure to put a leg out in front of Drogba and Robben so they have a real reason to go down. That's the spirit!

Your right about the african-american thing. he's just the fall out of USA 94 and Americans tryin to make out like they will be the future of 'soccer' and be as overly politcally correct as possible. Hes not that great a player at all and ca stay in the MLS and be worshipped for all i care

OMG dont you understand that the Yanks always big up everything they make a huge deal of everyone that is yankish, look, you cant judge it off a video, you could make a compilation from there of O Shea and make him look like a 20 mill player, watch him every week in the American league, hes so over rated as is everyting American, hell be one of those players that would end up at Blackburn and he'd be average but nothing like all the hype....

"Yankish"?...LOL ;D Now in all fairness not all of us feel that he's the next Pele because we really don't know and he hasn't played at the top level for anyone to make a determination especially since he's young. He played for the US in the U-21 team and didn't do all that well so we'll see. I think the hype started because he has talent and the sport is growing so people here were quick to try and make a superstar out of him.

Yes lol Yankish ;D meaning someone who is as a Yank, ish ? Lol, anyway, i agree, America is trying to prove they can make it in 'soccer' (though i dont know why i put the marks and we make fun of it for being yankish as it is actually the word the english made but o well) they cant be blamed though, good on them for getting there, more and more players will come and they will start having some greats there, i dont supposed many footy players are really popularised there, footys overshadowed by so many sports so at least theyre taking a step in the right direction. Still, let him play for a few years at minor clubs etc let him mature and then we will see, but now? No thank you.

He must have something Fergie has watched him for a good 3/4 years....I think he'll end up at Old Trafford though because we have shown him we want him for ages.
