Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Adu at ManYoo?


After some off-again, on-again chatter, ManYoo suits have admitted that they've asked Freddy Adu to come for a two-week trial. Any thoughts, Dave?

If you have any intention of sending him back, please, please quarantine him from that Portuguese skipping Wanker! Like he needs more bad habits.

Seriously, let him have his fun. That and maybe make a few contacts at Reading which is more his level. No way is he good enough to make the grade at ManUtd. He'd be this generation's Jovan Kirovski.

We'd take him at the Elland (sigh).

Really? I don't think you would. Wisey for one couldn't resist kicking him up the backside for his attitude of entitlement. Second, he's only ever known youth leagues where he was the most developed player and the MLS where you need a calendar to measure the time you're allowed on the ball. I think Ligue Un is probably right, quite technical and players of smaller physique. Spain's too advanced, Italy is too physical, England's too fast and physical, Germany's no place for pacy midgets...

Feck'ssake Freddie, it was only hype that labeled you the hope of US football. Then a few players showed up in the meantime, Dempsey, that Haitian bloke playing for the Mutts, others, and they all have shown much more promise.

Best part of this is that if United took him on, they'd pay silly-ass money to the MLS for him.
