“Altidore constantly showed up not in shape” is flat out untrue. Fair enough to say a club should not resign a player with an injury history, but let’s not rewrite history. Last year there were issues apparently COVID quarantine related but it’s just false to say he showed up out of shape in 2018 and 2019.
And sorry, it’s all hindsight to say the club should have got rid of its three best players a year after winning everything. This isn’t a video game; elite scorers like Jozy are very hard to come by - let alone players like Seba. If you were judging in 2018 form injury etc to let one of these players go, VV would have been the one given his serious injury history and he has started 15 games this year for a decent team.
I stand by my earlier statement that they should have moved heaven and earth to extend Seba and VV for a couple of years, including overpaying.
Jozy is a legend.
