With his career at a crossroads, time for Adu to try the NASL

With his latest failed foray in Europe having ended, Freddy Adu finds himself at a career crossroads yet again. A move to NASL could be just what he needs.

As soon as Freddy Adu's latest message via social media hit, the familiar sense of disappointment began to permeate through American soccer circles.

The one-time U.S. Soccer prodigy revealed Monday that he would be leaving his brief stint at Finnish club KuPS after just three months, ending his latest failed attempt to revive his career in some nondescript European backwater. Just when you thought his move to Serbian side FK Jagodina was rock bottom for a player whose career has had more lows than highs in recent years, Adu's departure from Finland felt like the inevitable car wreck you drive past shortly after watching a fast car zoom by you recklessly.
