masster Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Harmse is playing today in the reserve game in San Jose and I would expect a decision on whether they are going to sign him after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Harmse is still a trialist, he is still under the In Camp Roster on there webpage, and is clearly called a trialist in the article suggesting he will play in the reserve game today in San Jose.

youllneverwalkalone Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I don't see them using a roster spot on a domestic, particularly not Kevin Harmse. He talked a lot of smack when he came back to town with TFC and I'm a little surprised he's back at all. They signed Duckett and Wagner so they should have confidence that these guys can do the job. I'd like to see Rochat partner with Janicki, a have Wagner play LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftcoastkicks Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Atiba Harris is brutal I can't believe he's in MLS so good news for you guys Brutal? He had a goal and two assists, held the ball up perfectly and was a workhorse last Saturday. If that's brutal, we'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor23 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Kevin Harmse has been signed by the caps, is flying to philli and possibly starting at CB tmr....Personally I am not a fan of the signing. Can he be released to free up a roster spot once akloul is healthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 ^I agree. We trade Nyassi for an international spot, and now this spot effectively goes to Kevin Harmse? I'm all for having local boys on the team, but don't sign the likes of Duckett & Brovsky if you can't count on them to fill in when the international call-ups come.

Lord Bob Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The Whitecaps still only have 28 players under contract. They could sign Akloul and have a roster spot left open. Duckett and Brovsky are here for 2012, not 2011 (at least, I hope so). Harmse can contribute now. I agree with the signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and I don't think ANYONE is in any position to question any of the Whitecaps moves until they start to fail. As far as I'm concerned I'm 100% behind this management and gonna trust there moves until there is reason not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Harmse is an experienced MLS journeyman who can fill the holes when needed, I doubt he'll be a regular starter. Plus he is a local lad which will please the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 ^+1 (and I've never rated Harmse, but he can provide situational support). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor23 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Im fine with him on the roster in the near term, but I would like there to be spots left when the summer window opens, and if harmse is here to stay and akloul gets signed then we only have 1 spot.

youllneverwalkalone Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Mouloud Akloul signed according to Weber and Constantineau twitter reports. Great to see the big guy healthy again. Hopefully we can see his patented bicycle kick against KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Injury prone Manchester United midfielder Owen ********** may be the subject of a move to the MLS with Canadian sides Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC apparently interested in signing the England international when his contract expires in the summer. Sir Alex Ferguson is unlikely to offer the 30 year old Calgary born midfielder a new deal given the constant injury struggles the former Bayern Munich man has had over the past three years however ********** may be seen as the type of player, when fit, that can help hand added exposure to an MLS outfit as well as add top level experience. In his first season at Old Trafford Owen ********** helped Man United to Premier League and Champions League success and made 34 appearances in all competitions but persistent knee injuries have led to the £17m signing making just one Premier League start since August 2008, that start lasting just ten minutes as he limped off after just ten minutes of a home match against Wolves last November. It is not known whether ********** would be open to a move to North America but it seems that offers for his services in Europe may be sparse given his well documented injury concerns. The Man United man spent the first 16 years of his life living in Alberta before he left for Germany where he enjoyed seven seasons in the Bayern Munich first team, winning four Bundesliga titles and a Champions League triumph.

Too me it seems like soccer pundits overseas just don't understand that, Fans in Canada want NOTHING to do with Owen one bit, and these are rumours spun out of ignorance of the overseas pundits who just assume Canada would welcome him back with open arms, because of his tenure's with two of the biggest clubs in the world. Despite the fact Canadian fans are more than vocal about their distaste for **********. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 ^ I think so too, it's probably just speculative journalism. 90% of 'Caps and TFC fans would want nothing to do with the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
