Jozy was never worth that money, we all said it and here we are today with the club acknowledging that as well.
There is no denying what he's done for us and I'd love for him to stay - but as I said in a previous post - he ain't worth 5x more than what other non-injury prone DP's in the league are making. I bet TFC want him at 1-2m max and he thinks he's worth more.
When healthy - I'd take him at more, but in his entire time here - he's been injured for large portions of the season. And now that he's getting on in years, there's no proof it'll be any different.
BWP averages 2659 minutes a season
Jozy averages 1588
That alone tells you something
