I think Poz will just follow the money, and i expect he and his representation will cause a crisis mid summer this year if he isn''t extended by then.

Because that's how the game works.

I don't think there is reason to believe that the Al Ahli story means much... other than to highlight that Pozo didn’t emigrate here, and he isn’t willing to sit unpaid in his prime.

Putting Ag Futbol's quote here, and restarting this thread, as I think this topic is likely to become the talking point this year.

A small sidebar... Genk have thrived postpozo, won 4 of 5 in the playoff round, and have a 7 point lead with 5 games to go.

This is helpful, as nobody needs the the narrative that TFC or MLS or...

I don't know if FIFA ever picked up any Seba highlights, or how often they show MLS news at all.... but Pozo got noticed:

Thanks. I will watch it later this week.

I support this.

So I am traveling and only saw the highlights...

Given our PK history, for this guy to deliver the all time eff you slow motion panenka on his debut, that was one of the sweetest/cheekiest things...

Sure it's always chaos but that is a different point. I don’t want to relitigate this, but teams in Europe don’t wait to negotiate with players the way TFC did.

The more likely scenario is that they just weren’t ready. Manning thought Seba would accept TFC's offer, Curtis was new, and they really weren’t ready when Seba moved.

So they broke some eggs to...

There are holes in the narrative the Manning/Curtis tell in that podcast that were interesting (to me anyway).

They spent a lot of time and energy explaining how much they worked in a spirit of...

Gee Pozo, why did you leave?

The one thing you can be sure he is not going to say is: “they increased my salary 300%, gave me term, gave me security in case I get injured, gave me enough total...

The load issue is very real, it took down the whole team in 2018 (remember we only had 6 weeks off, then played a double load).

I think it's an issue for the summer though. That is when the...

Starting Chapman instead of the Belgian player of the year.... sends a message about the IQ of the manager. For me anyway.

He'll start next Friday.

Soccer isnt that complicated.

He needs a few hours with Jozy, to have a basic idea on how to time runs. Which he will get.

Bit of soap.

Pozo has the flu (the magic flu you get when you read the fine print on the insurance contract?). He is unlikely to play Sunday.

Based on the two games we watched against Slavia (especially the first one).... Pozo does something often that I really think will work for Altidore, which is different than what VV or Seba did.

When the Pope dies, the College of Cardinals meet behind closed doors to choose a new Pope. Often for days... it’s an ancient tradition to let people know if they are still meeting (black smoke) or...

^There is no question about this. This is about money for all involved. Plus Pozo is only 27, he might well do Saudi or China as his last move, as Vazquez and Gio both did.

Part of Manning's sales...

WHITE SMOKE

Habemus Pozo

I think you guys are right about this, upon reflection. They were probably talking to the agent before Jan 30.

I think deciding to “surprise” the team by waiting until the very end is the...

Hmmm. It doesn't show that to me. If anything it could mean that they moved for him in a panic - you'd think they would have been having conversations with Pozo and Genk during the Saudi Pozo...

Interview with Genk Chairman... a good summary of the transfersoap

Chairman Croonen after the turbulent weeks at Racing Genk: "Disappointed in Pozuelo, but I do not want to make him a scapegoat"
...

So we have numerous news reports, and Manning himself saying it here. I think that this constitutes confirmation (but not white smoke just yet).
