Yeah, that was my biggest point. Toronto literally looks better with Akinola right now and he’s heavily out producing him. Gyasi is at least still producing. We’re gonna have probably some hard decisions at striker because it’s such a grab bag between Sargent, Soto, Gio2, Dike, and Gyasi, but I just can’t see Jozy being in the conversation any more, let alone 2 more years from now.
I'd take Gyasi over Jozy right now. And, Jozy is frequently injured anyways. Sargent would be my starter as of today. It's mainly a guess at this point who are strikers will be in 2022. I think Dike might have the highest ceiling of all the young strikers because he's such a physical monster. Another year under Oscar Pereja and he should have a lot of Euro options 12 months from now. But it's nice to have young depth at striker with Sargent, Soto, Gioacchini, Dike, Akinola, Ebobisse, Pepi. Gotta think at least one of them develops into a quality int'l striker.
Maybe if he was healthy but he hasn’t been anywhere close to healthy in 18+ months and I don’t see it getting better anytime soon. His body just hasn’t held up.
Feel like we have so many studs that we need to hang onto Kinda like sitting with the #1 NCAAF recruiting class mid season and just waiting for some bigger schools to pluck them away
I am there are young guys with European futures who I'd like to get acquainted with the staff and what not
I'd be more excited if it was an MLS camp of all u24 players. but I'm sure Gregggg will fill it with a bunch of older scrubs like Jozy and Bradley.
no doubt, but if even just a couple of the younger guys get on the proper trajectory from this camp, particularly if one's a striker *cough* Dike *cough*, then it's worth having to endure a friendly with the older bums imo
This camp should be full of Mark McKenzies and George Bellos and no one anywhere close to the age of Bradley except maybe Guzan.
It definitely should be U23 type guys with maybe someone like Jordan Morris if they weren't in the playoffs.
sarge was sooooo close don’t really blame him for the miss since that was all he could do more credit to neuer for the reflex save than sarge not taking his chances imo
