re: Jozy Altidore to Sunderland speculation

I really don't think Jozy should move this window. He's dominated the Netherlands, but the league is weak defensively. None of the options mentioned have sounded all that appealing. Jozy's precociousness is augmented by the relative weakness of Dutch teams, but he is still a target striker who typically don't develop until their mid to late twenties.

That said, AZ has had a pretty good record of development in general. But one wrong move could screw up Jozy's development. He has the potential to be the best American striker ever, and he has to choose his next move carefully. I'd prefer it if he went to a team that could provide him a lot of chances, preferably a system which allowed him to play as a lone target striker, which would help the U.S. since that's the system we seem to be sticking with.
