TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Draftpicks Estridge and Fontien have been released from camp. Leaving only 9 left in camp unsigned, and only 3 spots available all Off Budget and Domestic spots. Caleb Clarke CAN (Residency) Callum Irving CAN (Residency) Victor Turcios (SLV) (on loan from CD Aguila) Nuru Suley (GHA) (Tudo Mighty Jets FC, Ghana) Patrick Cregg (IRL) (Bury FC, League One) Etienne Barbara MLT (MLS Discovery aquired by trade with MTL Impact for Gienir Garcia) Bilal Duckett USA (On Trial) Floyd Franks USA (Carolina Railhawks, USL) Greg Kalzura USA (MLS Supplemental Draft pick) My guess is we might see another trade in the next week or so, to open up a INT and Senior spot for Barbara, or possibly Cregg or Turcios.

livesareavailable Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Cregg went home a few days ago, and Turcios has already signed to play 2nd Div in Finland... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I have to imagine the only way Callum signs is if Sylvestre's knee is that bad; they'd presumably put him on long-term injury and open up the roster spot for Callum that way.

ThiKu Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Kalzura has been turning heads so probably him and Barbara being signed. Who the third player will be is up in the air - and who knows, maybe they keep the roster at 29....maybe even just 28 and see how the residency kids do.

A_Gagne Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I would like Suley's chances if he weren't an international player.... I would also like Clark's if we didn't have so many damn strikers. If either player gets signed it will unfortunately come at the expense of another I think.

TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Also I was wrong they have one international spot and senior spot open till july, when robson deal kicks in officially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livesareavailable Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Since it's " 'til then only ", shoulda filled it with a Bentley loan...arrrgggh. Or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Boxall and res. Irving were the only two dressed players to not get into today's 2-1 victory over UVIC - Mitchell and Nuru both put in 90. I bet Boxall is cut tomorrow: http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2012/02/whitecaps-fc-defeat-uvic-vikes-2-1-victoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 As of today the traveling roster has been reduced to 32 including Salgado Which mean Suley and Franks have been sent home. Leaving the 26 signed players and 6 trialists Caleb Clarke CAN (Residency) Callum Irving CAN (Residency) Sean Melvin CAN (Residency) Etienne Barbara MLT (MLS Discovery aquired by trade with MTL Impact for Gienir Garcia) Bilal Duckett USA (On Trial) Greg Kalzura USA (MLS Supplemental Draft pick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Boxall is cut tomorrow: http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2012/02/whitecaps-fc-defeat-uvic-vikes-2-1-victoria They won't cut Boxall without a replacement in mind....but I agree since there are loads of int'l in the CB spot the "bottom of the wrung" guy is gone if taking an int'l spot, which Boxall does. It's too bad b/c I like him, actually. He'll get snagged by another MLS team if cut. Probably have a useful career in MLS and A-League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I could be wrong, but I think Boxall is very close to a green card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Brown Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 So we Have Cannon, Knighton, Sylvestre for goalkeepers, and two of the residency goalkeepers down in Florida. Sylvestre going to get cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Greg Klazura signed http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2012/02/caps-add-greg-klazura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 My only question re: this signing is - at age 23, is he THAT much better than whoever the club has at u18 RB? All sorts of questions in this regard. Sign a middling 23 year old American, or bring through a bright 18 year old Canadian.....5 years and the 18 year old could be the full time starting RB while Klazura never will be....Pyo is fairly old, and will retire. I can't see Klazura being the long-term replacement for Pyo. Although, good for this kid to overcome the obstacles he did to make the team. Much like Boxall, he was drafted low and given a low chance to make the squad in the first place. And good to hear he has a great attitude.

youllneverwalkalone Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 ^I believe the best option at RB from the academy is Declan Rodriguez, who is a converted striker. This conversion happened less than a year ago, so I suspect he will be given the PDL season to impress at this position. Apparently Klazura was invited to the 2010 combine, with some speculation that he would go in the first round. He declined and went back to captain Notre Dame and finish his degree. He can play either FB position or DM. Rennie cut the 21st overall pick in favour of the 59th overall pick, so he must have had a very good preseason. He looked competent against UVic. More so than former teammates Brovsky and Duckett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Gagne Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I could be wrong, but I think Boxall is very close to a green card. I haven't heard a Boxall Green Card rumor, but I have heard Watson and Mattocks Green Card rumors. Does anyone know anything more about any of these guy's (or any other guy's) potential conversion to domestic player status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Watson confirmed his on twitter, I believe. I'll see if I can find the tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThiKu Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 That's really nice he doesn't take an int'l spot. Too bad this doesn't make him eligible for the CMNT! haha, you guys are gonna smack me for keep bringing this up. But I say we naturalize all the players we can through MLS. We need the lads if for no other reason than to improve depth at various levels of play And to pick-up the odd star (Camilo would be a star for CMNT!).

Ya and it might give all those my 2nd cousin married a Brazilian; I have two razors and don't ask what the second one's for; I bought a fake Brazil jersey for $10 at a flee market whilst trashing my liver in South America... and therefore I cheer for Brazil... fans a reason to also support the CMNT. on another note, re: Green cards, apparently Barbara is also applying for one, as he's married to an American. http://www.vancouversun.com/health/Whitecaps+Etienne+Barbara+barbs+ramp+rivalry/6203873/story.html Of note he also spilled the beans in this article that Rennie was going to sign with MTL, but bailed to sign with Vancouver... I say someone should get working on a "we stole your coach" song for the home opener! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This puts the Caps over the senior roster limit as well as INT spots. Though not until July when Robson officially arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
