Jozy Staying at Villarreal for Remainder of Season

The long awaited loan move for Jozy Altidore to a possibly lower on the table side in La Liga should be waited for no more. It’s not happening.

The combination of an injury bug that just won’t seem to stay away from the Villarreal striker contingent, coupled with impressive play when he sees the field, as head coach Manuel Pellegrini wanting Jozy to stick around for the remainder of the season.

Altidore put in an impressive 73 minute performance in his start against Huelva on the weekend in which he battered the opponent’s goal in the opening stages, ultimately helping VCF to a 2-1 win over the opponent.

With Champions League knockout rounds coming in the not-so-distant future, Altidore looks to see his playing time increase on all other competition fronts and possibly even be added to the knockout rounds roster.

Ultimately I think this is good for Altidore. He has been playing well when called upon and ultimately he deserves some type of reward for that. More than anything, Pelligrini needs him. With an inconsistent set of strikers from week to week and competition increasing on all levels, Jozy will be counted on to have an impact in some form in the second half of the season.

Let’s see what he can do.

What do you think of Altidore staying at Villarreal? Think his playing time will increase? Think he can have an impact? Is he too young for this?
