It wasn't that long ago that I posted a tweet from Freddy Adu about possibly leaving Benfica; now comes this one, in which Freddy alludes to efforts by his agent to get the young American out of Portugal.

FreddyAdu11 just got good news from my agent about possible destinations. Im hoping for spain because i like the style of play alot.

Spain would make sense for Freddy. Let's hope that something is in the works that gets him into a situation that leads to playing time. While all of us are frustrated to see Adu wasting away on benches, I can't imagine how the player himself feels.

Of course, there is always the thought that Adu has painted himself into this corner; that's certainly possible, and he make not be faultless, but believing that's the case is not a real reason to root against him.
