Particularly, depending how the Osorio circumstance may need to be addressed.
Josef Martinez would be an interesting candidate; particularly at MAX TAM. Mos def a reclamation project like Laryea.
Especially if both Jimenez and Akinola are unable to perform regularly.
And only if this is somehow achievable in a trade this winter off-season, given, IIUC, he has one year left on his contract with ATL at 4.15M?
Martinez = Belotti? Lite? Similar experience, SerieA/Torino. Both have been injured. Relatively comparable performances?
Just have been unable to get any read on any contract leaning by Jonathan during any game play or post - media interactions.
Darn ensco, son of a gun, has tainted my thinking and position on Osorio; second thoughts and pause.
My position is changing to one that TFC must re-sign him; maybe at all cost.
Preferably with a MAX TAM deal; even with a sustainable, year over year GAM buy down?
If achievable? Given my lack of understanding of MLS financial rules and regulations.
Otherwise as an actual DP; as last resort.
Osorio has to remain a Red; and eventually be the future Team Captain.
A proven quantity representing much more to the team, supporters and local football.
