So, who do we think will wind up getting Jozy through allocation?
If only the Dynamo hadn't spent the money on Cubo.

TT goes ham on MLS about just making up the rules as they go in the video
quote:
Sunderland and Toronto FC have agreed to a deal to swap strikers, with Jozy Altidore heading to the MLS club and Jermain Defoe returning to the Premier League, sources confirmed to ESPN FC.
Sunderland will also send an unspecified amount of cash to Toronto and MLS as part of the deal. The money involved will be an amount between Altidore's perceived current value and the $10 million (US) that Sunderland paid to acquire him from Dutch club AZ Alkmaar in 2013, a source said.
Canadian news outlet TSN earlier reported a swap deal had been agreed, and called the amount of money Sunderland will include in the exchange "significant."
Although the deal has been agreed between the clubs, Altidore is still likely to be subject to the MLS allocation order, the fluid rules of which have always played a considerable role in which teams Designated Players land, before he becomes a Toronto player.
Toronto FC currently sit sixth in the allocation rankings behind Montreal, San Jose, Colorado, Chicago and Houston, but sources told ESPN FC on Monday that only Toronto and the Portland Timbers are willing to meet Altidore's salary demands of between $5 and $6 million per year.
ESPn FC poll at 82% Jozy should stay in Europe. But the contract MLS is about to give him will price him out of ever going back.

There is a rant about MLS owning contracts and needing to let the teams operate on their own in there.
They are sending him to a shite team anyway. If Defeo lighting up the MLS couldn't make them win, I doubt Jozy will be much of a difference.

This is the only way to explain the Dempsey to Seattle deal.

“You give them your two cents,” Klinsmann told SI.com from the U.S. January camp in California on Tuesday night. “With Jozy, I just say it would be nice if I would see him one day in the European Champions League. Because I think he’s a Champions League player. He has that potential, the talent to do so.”
?“Now if there is no solution in Europe for him, if the next solution for him is MLS, that’s totally cool with me. I have no problem with that,” he continued. “But from a competitive standpoint, it’s normal that a coach wishes that his players go to the highest level possible. Which would be in his case the Bundesliga or Serie A or La Liga or even the French league, if it’s not the Premier League right now.”
“At the end of the day, whether he decides to go to Toronto or New York, that’s purely his decision, just as it was Michael Bradley’s decision or Clint Dempsey’s decision [to move from Europe to MLS].”

Sunderland thinks really highly of Defoe. That's crazy. He's 32 years old!

They would have to offload Gilberto.

It won't price him out of anything.
He might price himself out of going back, but it's up to him.

If hes making 6 million a year no one in Europe is going to pay that
