Some of the thinking that goes on in here is barely above Youtube comments.

Hate to tell people this but the narrative is not as negative as it tends to be around this place.
That's a crappy comment to make. The fact is, opinion on Jozy is pretty mixed. Seba does better without him on the pitch, so I can understand the opinions that we should trade him.Originally Posted by OgtheDim
Marginally better, I recall the percentages were pretty close

Could be different with Bradley back. Having 2 target men is a good thing as long as the mid is smart enough to target properly. Without Bradley, it's pretty much up to Cheyrou (and some credit to Oso) for targeting the right guy. The rest of them have gotten used to targeting Seba, which has shown well, but now that Jozy is back they have to get used to him as an alternative.
A bit extra. I love that we have Herculez now as a depth striker. Time will tell but he may do very well as a sub striker and alleviate some pressure on Seba/Jozy.
There were also plenty of Euro suitors at the time he chose us, people always seem to forget that we're not just getting players with zero options abroad anymore
Just getting tired of people slagging on a player who has a lot of marketability around the league.
Fact is most teams would take a player who is on a pace to score 12 goals this season - many of them would take that production out of a DP. The only qualifier is about 1/3 of MLS teams will never pay somebody 4 million a year.
This Altidore interview with Kristian Jack is worth reading.

Fair enough. I'm not a huge fan of his but he's done enough so far even for me. I wouldn't trade him.
We hate on so many different players, and yet we're always either upset/suprised when we see them doing well after they leave.
Exactly.
I also see that money being spent on a guy that makes Bradley and Gio happy. Players that enjoy each other's company off the field are a lot more productive on it.
I'm happy with Jozy. He has the talent to do well. He has taken some class finishes. We have not got maximum output from him yet, but this happens in football as players have ups/downs. For a player in a down spell, not 100% healthy and on a new team, I would consider 7 goals as good production.
Just remember that Jozy was the price for getting rid of Defoe -- or at least the face-saving measure required by the corporation.
I have noticed watching the games that Jozy has played in that he makes alot of good runs here and there but some of our midfield guys don't thread the pass to him and instead turn back or do something else. You can see Jozy throwing his hands up in the air sometimes. If the midfield could get on the same page with Jozy then he could have alot more production in the goal department. We know he can put away chances. They just need to create more chances for him like Vanney said recently. It took them some time to get used to finding Giovinco. Jozy has been away more so that still needs to happen. I am not worried and still like Altidore on our team at this point. Too early to give up on him in my opinion.
Jozy is good and other teams would use him as a DP, it's just that we are owned by ML$E and with the money we have, all three of our DP players should be at Giovinco quality
Fun Fact: Hercules Gomez used to play with Greg Vanney

I might suggest picking the bones of RSL in the offseason: that team is on course to be blown up pretty soon. Some quality parts in there for anyone who wants to do their homework.
We should take a look at that Plata kid
Herc Gomez turned down a bigger money offer from Cosmos to go to TFC.

Like we did with Robbie Findlay?
You're doing it wrong, lol.
I might suggest that their bones are already picked
Agreed. They are going into a rebuilding phase, their core is done.
I'd still take a couple of their players. Imagine Plata and Giovinco playing together? The Mighty Mites?
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Rebuilding in MLS entails dumping your overpriced players, not your young value ones. I doubt they'll be selling Plata, Silva, Gil, etc. They'll be looking to offload guys like Beckerman, Olave, and Morales. We don't have the space to take on those guys. If RSL was willing to spend a bit of money, they could probably turn their team around pretty quickly by getting some solid quality DPs. Though they seem pretty set on their current path of signing Argentine players

Interesting, guess with it being a midweek home game its a way to get these guys a run out.

Yipes - I hope it's just sharpening Konopka for Saturday.
Does anyone know if Alex Bono is hurt/injured, he did not even dress for TFC2 last weekend?
