Altidore to TFC deal falling into place.
With the silly season underway the rumours are piling up, but over the last couple of days a lot of reports have come out that suggest the Jozy Altidore acquisition is very much going to happen, that it will be a DP contract, and those reports of a salary of $5-6m weren’t the absolute joke that you probably think. Beyond the initial reports that we already covered here, a couple of new articles were added over the weekend. First...
MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Jozy Altidore to Toronto FC?
Wheeeeeee! things are picking up nicely now.
