He joins US striker Eddie Johnson at Aris FC who is there on loan from
Fulham. I can't believe that Hull City would have been interested in a
diminutive player who usually couldn't even find the BENCH for the
bottom-dwellers of the Portuguese league. While Aris is probably a
"better" choice for Adu, I'm skeptical that given their standing (in
contention for a Europa League spot) he'll see much time.

Freddy Adu ends Hull talk by signing Aris deal
By Soccernet staff
January 6, 2010

Benfica midfielder Freddy Adu has revealed he has signed an 18-month
loan deal with Aris, ending speculation he could complete a move to
Hull.


Freddy Adu has agreed a loan switch to Aris FC
Adu, 20, wrote on his Twitter feed this week to say he was choosing
between offers from Aris and Hull but later said his preference was to
secure regular first-team football to aid his development, and he has
now sealed a deal to the Greek club.

The USA international wrote on Twitter: "Alright guys done deal.
Signed an 18-month loan deal with Aris FC. A lot of thought and
research went into this. Thanks for the support."

A statement on the club's website read: "Aris FC announces the
agreement with the American soccer player Freddy Adu from Benfica on a
loan until [June 2011 with] an option [to] buy."

This downward spiral has been painful even just to read the odd snip

There is always MLS, though it may require an attitude adjustment for
him to even stick THERE. Otherwise, we'll be seeing him in a house on
a reality show with Jessica Simpson in about 12 years time, or in a
celebrity boxing match vs. Danny Partridge.

In 12 years he'll be in his 40s. It's not looking too good for Altidore
either. Horrible first touch, does a lot of running and little else. In
recent years it's the American players that didn't arrive in Europe with
a great deal of hype, Dempsey and Bradley, that have had the most success.

Speaking of downward spirals, I see that Aris is managed by Hector
Cuper.

Given Belenenses's record this year I think we should consider the
possibility that their (now fired) manager was not a genius.
