He has yet to score, but a well-round Altidore is turning heads with other aspects of his game.
When Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco were acquired by Toronto FC last year their roles seemed to be clear. Altidore would be the goalscorer, a like for like replacement for the departed Jermain Defoe. Giovinco, meanwhile, would be the playmaker, the first true number 10 in Toronto FC history.
Last year, that's how things played out for the most part. Altidore scored 13 goals, did not record a single assist in league play, and looked like a goal poacher and not much else.
