Jozy to England Today? Yes.

Edit: According to Jozy's twitter page (thanks MCA), he has been loaned to Hull City for the year. We'll continue to keep up with him here. Hopefully he won't drown in a very difficult fight to avoid relegation and will come out stronger on the other side.

Not sure exactly where in England, but Jozy Altidore (according to his twitter page) flew to England today. This could be either a loan or transfer opportunity, and it could be with one of three clubs: Everton, Fulham, or Hull City, all of which have shown strong interest, and possibly put forth bids for his services. The English press thinks it will be a loan deal. One way or another, he will not be in yellow this season. More to come here later.

Quick injury update: Fabricio Fuentes is not training with the group at the moment, as he has a slight injury (not sure what it is). But it is reportedly nothing serious, and he should be back to full speed soon. No one else on the squad is slowed by injury at the moment.

Jozy to Hull, according to his twitter posting 7 minutes ago (“first match is against Chelsea”). Press conference tomorrow.

From Hul lCity Online
Apparently its a 1-year loan deal. Great acquisition…speed, strength, and desire. Just a word of caution…he’s still very raw. But he wants to play for us…which is refreshing in itself. Lets give him total support. If he can get some decent service from midfield he can make a huge difference.

basically altidore wants out of spain. if he does well in england, his move will become perm with hull or other club

He could flourish in the Premiership, but with Hull…? I’m not so sure ,he should get a good amount of game time, if he is good enough which I think still remains to be seen!

It appears the deal happened with Hull because Villarreal is making money on that deal. Jozy might have wanted to stay in Spain but Malaga was not going to pay for the loan.

Still trying to find out where I read about it.

Cheers

Villarreal wanted to loan Jozy to a club which would be at least pay €500k for his services + his salary for the season.

As far as I know Malaga were not willing to pay € 500K for his services for 1 yr….
I am sure they would have paid his 900k salary.

Good chance Rossi and Nilmar will start vs. Juve…..that’s what Valverde tried in training today.
Possible midfield: cani-pires/bruno-eguren-cazorla

Nilmar scored his first goal in training…..

Él y Rossi fueron las referencias anotadoras del Submarino en el partidillo dispuesto por el técnico en la Ciudad Deportiva, en el que el brasileño demostró entenderse a las mil maravillas con Cazorla, su asistente en la pachanga.

Also statess Nimar hasn’t had a break in 2 years :EEK: and will not will be ava for Trofeo de la Cerámica on August 13, 2009 as he has been called for Brazil – Estonia friendly on august 12, 2009..

The club website now confirmed the loan subject to medical and visa considerations.
Wish Jozy luck, the loan is not ideal apparently driven by financial rather developmental reasons.
Hull are desparate for a striker but Jozy hardly arrives in the best condition to face Chelsea having missed pre season training with his new club and having spent only a few days with Villarreal on his return from the Confederations Cup.
Villarreal B beat newly relegated from Segunda A, Alicante 3-0 yesterday with two more goals from Marco Ruben, who now appears to be a member of the squad until offers arrive.

all the best for jozy..all the best for marco ruben too.

by hafiz on Aug 6, 2009 5:21 PM CEST reply actions  

good for him cause he’ll play. but don’t know if he’ll get the sort of service he needs at a club like hull that already struggled to score. scoring isn’t all about the strikers. It’s often about the creators behind the strikers. Also not sure if the style of play that hull may employ or that is played in England will serve him well if he comes back to spain. Regardless i’m not sure he’d has been given a fair run out at any club in Spain so i hope a good run of form at Hull will help impress some people that he’s good enough for Villarreal.
