He was stuck behind a lot of players and I don't think TFC ever 3 hours ago, gator said: Vanney wasn't going to play him again so it's great he got out, hopefully he gets a fair chance in Miami, he showed some great potential but that wasn't enough to get him minutes in TFC's world class midfield! I just home a year of hardly playing hasn't set him back, as Obinna mentions, CPL could be an option if things don't work out in Florida! He was given enough chances at TFC and just never really impressed on a consistent basis. Osorio and Layrea took their chances and made the most of them . Hopefully a change of scenery works out for him we shall see , hoping for the best for him. Edited November 14, 2019 by SoccMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I don't think Chapman counts as a domestic, since he was not on the list of 9 Canadian MLS players. However, I could be wrong about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Sometimes a new environment gives a player new energy. Let's hope he breaks into the team down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stouffvillain Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This is great for Chapman, after five years at TFC it is clear what the club thought of him. A fresh start at a new club in the prime years of his career is just about the best thing he could ask for. Best of luck to the guy, I hope he becomes a vital part of their squad.

toontownman Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Had no idea he was so old when I looked him up yesterday. Still think of him as 20/21. Even though he must have been around 22 when he was signed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers game in Toronto never worked for him because he wasn’t as good as Osorio or Bradley and never could take that 3rd midfield role. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delgado has been a more useful player for TFC than Chapman, so I think he's "better" from that perspective. However, Chapman has attacking qualities that Delgado doesn't have, which he can hopefully show with Inter Miami. Easier to show your stuff with an expansion team than a Toronto FC team where you always have a TAM or DP attacking midfielder to compete with. For me comparing Chapman and Delgado is kind of like apples and oranges. deschamp86, BearcatSA, CANMNT_SUPERFAN and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Have to agree Delgado brings much more. Chapman has all kinds of talent, but very modest tactical wherewithal. Simply doesn't read the game well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 We will see how Chapman develops if given a proper chance, he had some excellent games in Toronto but clearly wasn't Vanney's guy, Delgado has had some terrible matches and yet gets the start next match, I think Delgado has been given enough chances and developed into a semi reliable player, his main strength is a good engine, he covers lots of ground, to me Chapman is a better passer and reads the game well, as @Obinna mentions it's apples and oranges though! Good luck to Chapman, we won't have to have this debate anymore! Judging by what I've seen in this January camp Chapman looks up for a fight to win a spot in South Florida, that can only help our National Team depth!

Club Linesman Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Agree 100% with Gator. While they are different players with respect to skill set, Delgado was played ahead of Oso for quite some time and always ahead of Chapman regardless of how poorly he was playing. Chapman was tremendous in the Seattle away start but that didn’t materialize into seeing the field. Delgado could be the worst player on the pitch for match after match with no consequences. He is not the second coming of Kante, and he most likely won’t be playing for the USA again unless they have injuries or a B camp.

Obinna Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Didn't see the game, but my goal app gave him a rating of 6.6 last night, good for 6th best amongst the starters and 7th best for all 16 Inter Miami players who saw the field. Seems like he is in good form. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, he is more than capable of thriving as a deep lying playmaker/facilitator, precisely because of the vision and tendencies that make him a more natural 10. He was always more of a quasi 10 rather than a traditional 10 anyways. Players evolve in whatever role gets them on the field, so if Chapman's destiny is to play in a two-man double pivot for Miami, then so be it. I am sure he doesn't care where he plays so long as he keeps starting and contributing.

Not sure what his contract looks like but I'm not sure your'e gonna get much more out of him at the MLS level. I think hes got the ability to be a top midfielder in the CPL though.

I can see him sticking with Miami for a few more years and contributing to their success. Perhaps once he reaches his early 30's he'll go to Forge or York 9 as a "Bekker" like signing and finish his career in Southern Ontario... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
