“Jozy is unproven at this level but we feel he has great potential and hopefully he can fill the void with goals from the front line. He is only 19 and we want to help him fulfill his potential here.”
— Phil Brown, coach of English Premier League club Hull City, on acquiring U.S. national team forward Jozy Altidore, who arrives on a one-year loan from Spanish La Liga club Villarreal. Altidore made six appearances and scored once for Villarreal, which he joined from the MLS’s New York Red Bulls in the summer of 2008. (hullcityafc.net)
