He is only 30, and when fit is an elite striker. The list of MLS clubs who thought they have an elite striker but didn't is long indeed; bringing a new one in is far from certain. Yes, we are doing well this season by grinding - but to win it all we need a Jozy level striker - and he is ours.
Go ahead and laugh, but the facts are indisputable. The list of genuine goal scorers in world soccer is very small, let alone in MLS. When you have one, you do everything to keep him.
If you follow English football, look at Leicester without Vardy, or Southampton without Ings. Totally different, and far weaker, teams. We have very good skill in Poz Piatti Oso Bradley and Richie, but we still need an elite striker. Jozy is the one we have.
