Calls for a new, deeper-pocketed owner to rival the spending of teams like Toronto FC, New York City FC, Seattle Sounders FC, LA Galaxy and Atlanta United have become an off-season ritual for Philadelphia Union fans. The voices were particularly loud this past off-season as the weeks went by without any news or even rumors of potential high profile signings.
Those signings eventually came — David Accam was acquired from Chicago Fire on draft day and a loan deal for Czech Republic international attacking midfielder Bou0159ek Dou010dkal was finally completed last week.
