Jozy Altidore Agrees to Terms with Villareal

Jozy Altidore has oficially agreed to terms with Villareal, and will be unveiled today at a press conference.  The deal can't officially happen until July 1 when the European transfer window opens.  We don't know his salary, but it will be considerably more than his 108,000 dollars a year salary for the Red Bulls.  It is also posible he could be loaned out to Recreativo Huelva, so he can have more playing time.

What do you guys think of the move?  Sad to see him leave?  Happy that he might play Champions League football next year?  Happy he can try to convince Giuseppe Rossi to play for the US, oh wait, that ship has sailed.

Your thoughts below.
