OK, decided to make a general transfer thread for Jozy Altidore. Since there have been many suiters for his services, I've decided to make a general thread that will include all of the rumors.


Apparently MLS turned down $8 million from Reading in January and is looking for something in the neighborhood of $10m. A German club came knocking (not know which one) and had been told it would have to pay at least $7m. I for some reason have a feeling that the MLS head office either doesn't know what they are doing, or they just don't want to lose this up and coming American football star. There have been no other rumors of late linking him to either Real Madrid or Villareal.

I think you are closer to 'hitting the bullseye' with your first conclusion then the latter.......... Confused Their previous bungling of Twellman is evidence.........

Jozy is apparently headed to Villarreal. The most recent rumblings state that Villarreal have agreed to a transfer deal with Major League Soccer. All that is left is for Jozy to agree to personal terms with the club.

Good for him....... If this comes to pass maybe Pellegrini can get him to improve on his work rate. Loads of potential, but seems to be lacking a bit when it comes to desire...... I'd love to see him blossom into a complete player.....

Villarreal will loan out Jozy to Recreativo Huelva. The deal is almost finalized between the two clubs. Looks like Villarreal are really in it to potentially make money off him like they did with Martin Caceres last year.

Either way, it's better for Jozy than to be in the MLS. He'll also get more playing time with Recreativo Huelva than he would with Villarreal as Villarreal already have two established strikers on the squad.

Villarreal have now decided not to loan Jozy out to Recreativo Huelva. Villarreal have decided they will keep him with the club and develop him.

I see this as a double edge sword. Good thing, he's staying with Villarreal; bad thing, his playing time with the first squad will be drastically reduced now as Villarreal already have an established front line.
