Altidore arrives, Chapman signs, 5 get drafted. Busy day for TFC
Well, it was quite the day for Toronto’s squad building attempts, at the DP end, and at the probably USL Pro side as well, one could plausibly call it a SuperDay. First up before all the SuperDraft nonsense (for all the highlights of that, click here.) there was the signing of Jay Chapman.
