Yeah I was thinking to ease some fan tension, plus the fact Jozy is a former Red Bull. Could be wrong, but that's my guess.
Per Twellman - Jozy Altidore Negotiating With Mls - Nycfc Not Involved
- Thread starter doctorhoosier
- Start date
@Paul nails it in this thread.
His comments lead me to believe that a 4th DP is assured.
I think he is off to Portland if he comes back to MLS. Too weird to see a list with them on it. It's one of those, which of these teams doesn't fit - NYRB and TFC are (have been?) teams that spent like drunken sailors. Portland is much different in their approach. And I don't people hate this word, but it's good for league parity. That could be a very exciting team to watch if he joins Portland.

There was a rumor going around that the Red Bulls were also looking to bring in Sacha Kljestan

Red Bulls have some serious issues right now. They're academy employees are all about to leave. They've also got 2 offers for the club.
When did you learn they were out? Wasn't it just reported yesterday they were in?
The Wahl article said last year they had 2 offers. What is this about their academy employees? Thats new.
ESPN FC will put the link in herein a min

That has nothing to do with offers to buy the team or academy employees leaving. Just says they won't pay for Altidore, which isn't much of a surprise given the focus on "young players."
Sorry gentleman and ladies if present I got caught up doing that "work thing"
Yes you're correct
This is from Wahl
As for the academy information I will look when I get a minute but in essence the information I gathered was as follows.
Tuesday night there during a meeting there was a heated exchange about the staff and how their involvement with the academy players. During the meeting the staff wasn't told about Petke until they heard it from the media wed morning. No one was fired but there is rumors of mass exodus.

I wouldn't go THAT far, but you are right. If there are people out there who know how to build the local infrastructure, go for it. I think you will see a CFG person (a Barca person?) running an NYCFC Academy, But it's extremely important to have people that know the local communities involved.
Interesting. I wonder how far back their Academy issues go. Dan Metzger wanted to enter the draft rather than sign on as a homegrown player. I also know that AJ Kmeic, from the town I went to high school in, chose to play high school soccer rather than continue on in the Red Bulls academy. He said it was all about playing with his youth coach again, but now I wonder if there was more to it than that. http://www.recordonline.com/article/20140927/SPORTS31/409280316/-1/varsity24?template=printart

Espn FC just said NYRB are out of the Jozy sweepstakes.
Won't pay his asking price. RB has to be selling....

Yeah I think fairly deep Metzger wasn't the only one. That being said youth soccer is a beast in its own. Parents and kids egos are just a nightmare.
I'm sure they will put up a fight. I think Portland + Jozy is up there. I don't know if i'd say better, but its up there.Seattle, LA, SKC and RSL all disagree with you.
I think the point is you now have another squad with some serious attacking options up front.
So if Defoe stays and Ridgewell does come back, the other teams in the Jozy Quest have 3 DPs each.
I know we think that means there are more DP slots coming, but could it also mean Ridgewell or Defoe are probably not coming? Or how about TFC is trading Bradley to NYCFC! Yeah I like that one better.
