Jozy on the move again?

When Villareal sent Jozy Altidore to second division leader Xerez, I think we were all pretty sure that a massive increase in playing time was sure to follow. Well, it didn’t. And now Villareal are rumored to be looking to move him again in an effort to change that, this time to second division mid-table side Levante. But this is apparently all news to Jozy:

“That’s the first time I’ve heard anything like that,” he told The New York Times website. “I don’t know about going anywhere else. This is the first I’ve heard.” [...]

“I wouldn’t doubt that Villarreal is disappointed,” the former New York Red Bull said. “They sent a player who they think can help them in the future to get minutes and I’m not getting minutes. It’s natural to think about what’s going on.”

“I’m trying to get better everyday on the field,” he said. “Every day at Xerez the manager and the trainer tell me I’m doing well and I’m improving. It’s all positive, at least it seems to be.”

Except for, you know, the whole not playing thing.
