TFC 2019-2020 player off-season roster discussion

[Defoe]

Ignacio Piatti and his brother are different players but it's encouraging that Ignacio lit up the league between the ages of 30-34 and Paoblo was always considered better. The VV comparison is legit in that we're getting a huge discount because of his injury. Vazquez was worth 4 million in his season he was with us, we had him for 1.-2-1.5? Piatti probably plays 20 games minimum and I'm betting he provides more value at a third of the cost of Altidore. It's Altidore we should be worried about. Getting Piatti on a potentially low cost deal as a third DP, on a short term deal shouldn't concern us but using 6+ million on Altiodre when that could go to a player like a 29 year old Vela or Giovinco, is concerning. Over paying for Altidore is better then no one but it would be really nice to convert an Altidore sale into a Josef Martinez, Vela, Giovinco type. I'm remaining optimistic that the big picture is for Piatti to come in as the cost efficient #3 DP, Pozuelo as the #2 DP and Jozy moved to bring in a world class #1 DP
