The problem is finding that striker if Jozy were to accept, and assuming the FO can bring them in. You run into a whole host of problems bringing people to MLS, and trading Jozy’s contribution despite lack of minutes for someone who may not contribute to that level even playing 100% of the time is a real risk.
Then you have to consider the intangibles and everything outside production and health, and it becomes even more difficult to ascertain whether the player is a good fit or not.
If they’d been looking for a while and had a list of possible replacements they’re after people would probably be more open to letting him go, I suspect.
