Ooh a nice surprise move there mate! Interested to see how he'll handle a full season in a top league

Hopefully he can have a good one.

Season 5

With Adu now settled in France, hopefully we can push closer for the title.

Transfers In
Hugh outlay for Kessie and boosted the midfield with Zakaria and Dendoncker joining too.

Transfers Out
Big money for Geubbels, Traore and Cyprien as I looked to trim my striker heavy squad.

Ligue 1
A late flurry of drawn games nearly cost us the league but we held on to lift the title.

Team Stats
Kalulu was deadly this season, with a goal a game. One to look out for. Memphis eclipsed Adu in the FL position with a great season also.

Kalulu deservedly breaks the PSG hold on this title.

Much better spread my players here with 8 of team making the side but no Adu.

We go one better and have 9 players in this team but again no Adu.

Freddy Adu

Oh Freddy, this wasn't your year. His stats took another big hit and I was struggling to get much out of him at all.
Just 8 goals and 4 assists to his name. Disaster season!

His attributes are painful to look at but all bits help at this point for a bigger total. It won't be easy for the next manager to beat your score. So keep adding to it for as long as Adu is capable of.

Its horrible. He kept getting this niggling 1-2 week injuries over the season. I think @kts365will be way ahead of me when he finishes up.

Jeez! Freddy is not looking good is he. Like BG said just keep plugging away and everything now is a bonus.

Hoping for a better season next year but I think things can only get worse!

I did see him too and he does look very bad. I might add on a "Going out with a Bang" Challenge for him.

Season 6

So after a season and a half settled in France, an interesting offer came my way so I decided to uproot again and head to Holland and Ajax.

Freddy joins the Ajax revolution for a mere snip at 900k

Rolling back the years, must the relaxed Dutch enviorment suiting Freddy well.

Transfers In
Lots of squad building here. Midfield was the main focus with Grujic, Augusto and N'Doram proving good deals. Plus wonderkid Rui Pedro for just 800k.

Transfers Out
So sadly my Brazilian wonderkid regen Countinho was sold within a year (big club release) but made a tidy £50m profit inside 6 months!

Coutinho was leading the way but sadly sold in January leaving Cassierra to lead the line well. Freddy had a tremendous season also. Grujic and N'Doram providing the strength in midfield.

Freddy Adu

What a difference a year makes!
His final move Holland proved a masterstroke as he puts in his best season yet with 21 goals and 14 assists.

Perhaps not as many games in Holland but the fixtures list is much kinder to a man his age. Keep rocking it! 

It does help with his stats being so poor!

Season 7

After his best season so far, Adu was still looking woeful in terms on stats so not sure how he will far this season?

Transfers In
A really good window for me with some solid additions in Amiri, Amavi, Vlasic and Tousart all coming in for good money.
d5854ee2d07001b269f6f18f15100072.png

My Argentinian regen went for 67m after playing a handful of games! Crazy really. Just really squad trimming for the rest.

So at 35 Freddy is creaking a lot. So many red and orange stats! He still managed record season with 23 goals and 16 assists. Long live Adu!

Really great season.

My biggest hope for this career is that Freddy will somehow still be playing at the age of 40!

I know, very surprisingly good!

I did manage to get him to 40 when I did a career a few seasons back. He even scored in the Champs League final at 40! (y)

Season 8

Just Freddy is approaching 35 but still doesn't seem to want to hang his boots up yet! 

Even Messi is impressed!

Transfers In
With Cassierra going in Janaury I managed to sign Donovan's regen plus some good cheap deals for Paz and Tammy Abraham.

So I was tweaking with the tactics this season plus Cassierra wanted out and refused to sign a new deal so I had to get rid so I got some cash for him. Vlasic ended up top scorer with Freddy just behind him. Grujic was the driving force in midfield.

Not the greatest season for Freddy, partly my fault with switching his positions up as I look to squeeze more out of him.

He scored a decent 16 goals but with only 6 assists sadly. There is always next season (y)

Season 9

So with Freddy the wrong side of 35, it could be a struggle to get much more out of him.

No retirement for Freddy! The legend lives on.

Transfers In
Berbatov's regen was the big expense here but picked up Ze Gomes for a bargain too.
