Adu to Sign with MLS’ Union

Notes on my thoughts,

The signing re-unites Adu with Union head coach Peter Nowak, who was head

reactions and questions as I

coach of D.C. United during Adu’s early years in MLS.

read:

Chivas USA had been lining up a move to acquire the 22-year-old midfielder,

and had a move to sign him as a designated player lined up only to have

ownership balk at the move at the last minute. That decision paved the way for

Adu to move to Philadelphia, where he’ll be joining a Union side currently

battling the Columbus Crew for first place in the Eastern Conference.

Adu will not be joining the Union as a designated player.

Adu’s arrival comes just as the Union looks to revamp an offense that recently

lost striker Carlos Ruiz to a transfer to Mexican side Veracruz. Philadelphia will

be hoping Adu can provide the playmaker the squad has sorely needed since

joining MLS last year. Combining Adu with the forward tandem of Danny

Mwanga and Sebastien LeToux could give the Union the sort of high-powered

attack they will need to make a deep playoff run.

An Adu-Nowak reunion might seem odd considering the way they clashed

during Adu’s time in DC, but the two repaired their relationship in the years

after, and worked together on the 2008 US Olympic Team. When asked about

Adu a year ago, Nowak said he still rated Adu as a player and would love the

chance to work with him again.
