Giovani Dos Santos vs Jozy Altidore - let’s make a deal

June 6th, 2008 ·

Dos SantosTottenham bought Giovani Dos Santos for £4.7M.  Villareal bought Jozy Altidore for $10M.  So looking at pure transfer fees (I realize there are sell-on clauses etc) that makes these guys supposedly about worth about as much.  There is something wrong with this picture.  While Jozy holds great promise Giovani is much further along.  Here’s a guy who was in the Barcelona A squad and made 38 appearances for Barcelona.  So seemingly he is much further along in his career than Jozy.  So either Tottenham got a really nice deal done or the MLS got very good money for Jozy.

What do you think?
