I think in the next year or so we need to give some serious consideration to finding a way to play Jozy and Boyd on the field at the same time. Boyd has the poacher instincts and Jozy is more of a run and gun type of guy. I think the combo could work well. People will say "oh we need a speed option" à la Charlie Davies, but we don't have that, to be honest, and I think Jozy is faster than most people give him credit for. I would also be interested in seeing Donovan up top with Jozy, as he often plays this position (with great success) with LA.

Jozy is more than capable of pushing out wide, running at defenders. and creating oppurtunities He does it quite a bit in the Dutch league.
We haven't had a chance to see it because Landon has that position on lock down, and Altidore has been in and out of the team recently.
There's a lot of potential on our roster right now. Really looking forward to watching Altidore, Boyd, and Cameron, hopefully for the full 90.

I would love to see Altidore on the wing. All the highlights I've seen of him from this year in the eredivisie have him out wide.

No I meant leading the epl in tackles. Something Holden did early in his first full season at Bolton.

Great finishes all of them. Jozy is on the cusp of being a world class striker.

I don't see how. He is lighting it up given the chance. The first goal is actually more impressive to me. Off foot to the near side. That is a high quality goal. One touch.

Like I said, my definition of world class must be very different from yours.
