I'm not going to patronize the guy since we love him so but I feel like a broken record when I say redundantly: is this when Jozy Altidore will finally become the star we know he can be?
That's a long-winded way to introduce something which I feel like I wrote word for word (save for a few key details last time) recently. After languishing on the bench in Spain with Villareal, Altidore has been loaned once again, to Bursapor in Turkey.
Before we all do a double take and say Bursapor (scratches head), I'm here to tell you they're no joke. They're the reigning Turkish league champions and believe it or not, they play a good brand of soccer over there.
Altidore said Monday on his Twitter account that he is being loaned to Bursaspor for six months, a move confirmed by his agent, James Grant Sports.
Altidore has appeared as a substitute in two league matches this season for Villarreal, which loaned Jefferson Montero to Levante on the last day of the January transfer window.
Altidore's only goals for the Yellow Submarine this season were both against Poli Ejido in the fourth round of the Spanish Copa del Rey.
Jozy is still young and with limitless potential but I don't want to see him become the next Freddy Adu, who is too depressing to blog about at this point. I'm saying all Altidore needs is some consistent playing and then let's see where he's at.
