    ^This is just a sad comment on the crap going on in the newspaper business.

    This paper has no beat reporter on the Sounders, now this.

    I feel for the Sounders fans on this

    Stumbled upon this a moment ago.

    They admittedly don't much follow the sport, but it were still neat seeing Jozy represent the badge in a somewhat unconventional forum, as we're accustomed to seeing.

    You can see how much he really loves Toronto, and it's wonderful!

    I'm going to guess this was a case of them having all of those banner images and whatnot ready to go at the throw of a switch if Seattle won... and someone accidentally threw the switch.

    50 goals in 96 appearances across all competitions for Jozy now. Plus 11 assists in MLS regular season, 4 in the playoffs, and 2 in the VCup.

    He has scored in five straight finals.

    The bum.

    Source: Altidore target for Serie A, Ligue 1 club



    No club in EU will pay him half he is getting from TFC,unless TFC wants to dump him and get some money I don't see why Altidore would go back to Europe.
    Great love does not exist without joy and without great suffering ,that's why One club is worth only as much as its fans !

    I think it is possible, if TFC don't receive much of a fee. TFC owe Altidore about $7M for the rest of this year and next, and I suspect if you gave Jozy a kiss and rounded it up to $10M for two full years, he might be willing to move.

    I would understand if he is interested in a move to a good situation. The endless USMNT hatefest for him is really awful, and he has now done everything there is to do in MLS.

    I disagree that $5M a year for two years is double what Altidore would command in Europe. It's on the high end, but it's not silly, but if TFC needed a meaningful fee also, then the number could probably become silly.

    Mitroglou is is an interesting comparable. Signed by Marseille a year ago at age 29 for €15M (plus €10M wages) for 4 years, that’s USD $7M a year. Mitroglou is obviously a bigger name, but he has had a similar career arc to Jozy (big success at home and in Portugal/Holland, but flamed out in England)


    I have spent the last two weeks immersed in Ligue Un, and I think he could play in that league. Ligue Un (ex PSG) is a similar level to the better Mexican teams.

    Watch OGC Nice here, now coached by Vieira, who are widely rumoured to be imminently moving Balotelli to Marseille.

    I love Jozy and hope he stays

    In relation to the other threads about "new songs" and such --- I humbly (not humbly), bump my plea to add the Altidore song as a bookend to the Dichio song......

    In many ways, Jozy's time at Sunderland was a microcosm of our (TFC's) existence, to date (at the time); we evolved together, then, and what a beautiful story, indeed.

    Thanks for sharing this, ensco.

    Jozy Altidore, you know he is going to score!!!!!

    My thoughts on the subject. Best CF in the MLS, after a certain Balkan-Swede.

    5 goals in 4 games...scoring at the highest rate in the league (for rhose that have played a significant amount of time). Get your bets in his Golden Boot win - this is his year.

    His first goal vs. Seattle was great. His second goal was out of this world.

    He also looks a bit tired at times. I think he's still recovering and getting back to 100% fitness after his surgery & recovery. (But then again, many great strikers do that all the time: disappear for portions of the game, then pop up to score an amazing goal.)

    I hope they manage his time & recovery carefully, as Jozy is absolutely crucial to the way we play right now. Also we can't get that TAM winger soon enough. Draw attention away from Jozy (& Pozo); provide more assists; and TAM winger plus Akinola and/or Hamilton and/or Boyd is less of a drop off in quality, than if we need to remove Jozy from our current lineup for rest or recovery.

    Adding to this today


    In this article with a Cinci reporter https://sports.yahoo.com/24-thoughts...163724570.html



    But Altidore is so happy in Canada that he’s considering settling there permanently, joking that he’s trying to sell his fiancee — tennis star Sloan Stephens — on the city over her preference, Los Angeles. Altidore is also mulling whether to apply for Canadian citizenship, for which he became eligible earlier this year.

    From a fan perspective, great. All for it.

    But otherwise, I don’t think the club should have to resort to making Altidore domestic to meet its content requirements. Hopefully that’s not the intent here.
