re: Just how epic a failure has Jozy Altidore's move to Sunderland been?

Jozy's season at Sunderland was epitomized by the 31 pass move Sunderland had against Man U, which ended with Borini hitting the post. I made a post about all the things Jozy did wrong in that passage of play, which continued around Jozy with Altidore contributing absolutely nothing. In terms of the EPL, he's a below-average to average striker, whose best hope is to be the poor man's Emile Heskey.
Jozy still has tremendous room to improve, but the light switch needs to come on in this next 8 months, or else he'll be loaned out, and then sold, probably to a MLS team.

Also some of you have no ability to retain objectivity with regards to American players. Our top level players are still technically deficient in truth. Hopefully our next generation will be better. It's not a personal slight. But the evidence we have on hand suggests that this is the case.
This does not mean that we aren't a good team. We are. But we have a clear ceiling. We can move beyond that this tournament, but that won't mean our technical deficiency will suddenly disappear.

I think that's a bit harsh. I think he has more upside than that.

I agree with this though.

I am glad that he does tend to play better with the USMNT than he did at Sunderland.
