Re: [nas] Adu to start?

Yes, bringing him on slowly would not mean starting him.
It is silly to even talk of him starting.
I did not want him starting. I would like to see him 30 minutes or so a
match.

BUT..... see, we have to "play" him don't we?  We have to "cash in" on
Freddy mania
at the moment don;t we?  It is that way in every sport.  Sign the big
rookie- top draft choice, pay him the bucks.....people want to see
him.....the league is a business.

The customer is always right.......
