nolando Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 This still seems as strange to me as it did when they first went after him earlier in the year. A 32 y/o striker with no connection to (read: no reason to stick around)the community. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPjr Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 very athletic player....he was the only player on the SV&G lineup vs. Canada that made me take notice of him. Seems like the kind of player that would be worthy of a shot...little at risk other than Kerfoot's $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 He'd be in for a helluva shock if he arrived in Vancouver this week. Can't remember when I last saw this much snow here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Vic for the links. [/quote Bummer, man. My Mom is in Mission, and I know the drive well - it wouldnt be easy between Abbotsford and Chilliwack in the conditions although, counterintuitively it has been vancouver getting more snow than the Fraser Valley during the past coupld of weeks. I would invite you out with me but my Mom is in Vancouver this year. I hope you have a decent visit and best wishes to your mother. merry xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolando, if the Caps intentions are to get into MLS, and if they do get into MLS, then they have no reason to better themselves in USL, and to sign players with any future in the city.

I think he's a great pick-up for the Caps..There was rumors that Nick De Santis was trying to sign him last summer for the Impact and he was actually the only player worth noticing on St-Vincent's squad when the CMNT played them on June 20th at SS...

Having said that, San Jose was also trying to sign him. I think Wesley Charles ahd something to do with him coming here. It wouldn`t surpise me if he got a better offer from the Caps though. It wouldn`t be the first time the Caps got players to turn away from the lure of MLS. Not every signing will be made with 4-5 years down the road, in mind.
