Jozy and the Footycats: Altidore at Sunderland

Nice to see so many fans out enjoying an overcast summer's day requiring a jacket.

 

Sunderland are rumored to be looking at Maxi Lopez as well.

 

Starting half the teams league matches isn't what I meant when I said consistently.

 

According to the website, Jozy scored the 10th goal of a 13-1 thrashing of the Italy based Washington Generals today.

 

Oops, he also collected his first assist on the next goal!

 

Anyone have any strong feelings about the rumors linking Huddlestone with Sunderland? Looks like a bid of 5M pounds was accepted.

 

It's not a bad signing, and compared to what most teams on Sunderland's level pay for "proven" EPL players it's a bit of a bargain

 

Welcome to two days ago.

 

I thought I was asleep for a while.

 

Like Hudd's passing out of the back... hate how he gets torched by speedsters...

 

Hurry up Premier League season premiere

I'm guessing if he appears or starts most of the matches this season?

 

I don't get why players agree to be put in that situation. Sunderland will lose money if they play him? Stupid.

Not that I'm worried Jozy won't see the field, but there's nothing positive about that arrangement from a players end.

 

wait huh?

 

What percentage do you think is "consistent?"

(and you do realize one may not play for a team before they, you know, join that team.)

 

Huddlestone is a good description of his mobility, I'll give you that. He gives Fat Charlie A a waddle for his money as far as immobile CM's

 

Do players even have a voice in that? Seems that is between the two teams.

 

I wish he'd joined the Fulham Jaguars.

 

That's what I'm thinking. Not sure exactly why the teams really add such things into the contracts/transfers though

 

It's good leverage, like a sell through clause. If I give you something really good, I make more money. If he bombs, well, I won't make as much.

 

No idea what has happened to Huddlestone. Was a consistent starter for Tottenham then was suddenly relegated to the bench. Over the last 3 season, he has only made 30 premier league appearances. He is likely not the player he once was.

 

"Head coach believes Altidore is amongst the best frontmen in Europe."

he is probably impressing in training, really happy to hear that

 

Let's be frank; he was never that great. Very inconsistent.

 

I've noticed jozy getting a lot of coverage in the press. Di canio praised him. And the SAFC twitter page always talks about him. He could be the face of this team
