tmcmurph Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Caps loan out is now official http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2013/04/whitecaps-fc-prospects-loaned-charleston-battery Ben Fisk and Emmanuel Adjetey from the club’s PDL roster have joined USL Pro side Charleston Battery on season-long loans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Does anyone know legally how the Caps can loan out two amateur players (ie they have not signed professional contracts/are not on the roster)? In the major European leagues (and perhaps every league in Europe) only players on professional contracts can be loaned. Maybe it's a Euro rule as opposed to FIFA? Anyone know?

In the major European leagues (and perhaps every league in Europe) only players on professional contracts can be loaned. Maybe it's a Euro rule as opposed to FIFA? Anyone know? I think Whitecaps PDL side and Whitecaps MLS sides are technically two separate entities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisk and Adjetey don't have MLS contacts; they have PDL contracts with the Whitecaps and do get paid for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Fisk and Adjetey don't have MLS contacts; they have PDL contracts with the Whitecaps and do get paid for that. So Fisk isn't NCAA eligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 So, contrary to earlier interviews/reports, is Clarke not going to be playing first team football anywhere this season? Bloody shame, if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bob Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 This is extremely rare then, no? I should imagine so; certainly I can't think of any North American parallels. I suppose in most leagues it wouldn't be necessary, because most leagues aren't set up like MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 There are a few PDL PRO clubs. Whitecaps are one of them. Players on those teams are eligible for NCAA but those that are paid, such as Fisk, are not. Fisk is likely getting paid a livable salary - and it is in the best interest of the Caps to get this kid as many minutes as possible because he has potential to be a leading MLS player. Clarke needs to follow him out the door on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmonte Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Just saw that Fisk and Alderson played both 4 games only. Too bad. That can be the case with late loans, though. Particularly Alderson. I think you'll see their game start % rise now that they have been there and are comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maccaliam Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just saw that Fisk and Alderson played both 4 games only. Too bad. I hadn't noticed Clarke (perhaps there's been an injury there?), and Fisk was mostly bc of injury it seems, but I wonder why Alderson has had such little game time? Of those four matches played, I believe it was something like only 160 minutes played. These boys need more game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those four matches played, I believe it was something like only 160 minutes played. These boys need more game time. I think the numbers you have are from a different source than the link I checked. http://www.uslsoccer.com/teams/2013/22310.html#STATS From uslsoccer, Alderson has 184 minutes (46 minutes per game) and Fisk has 191. You didn't see Clarke in the Charleston roster because he wasn't loaned. He's with the Whitecaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't see Clarke in the Charleston roster because he wasn't loaned. He's with the Whitecaps. Yes Alderson has played 46 mins per game over his four matches (not a big difference between my "something like 160 min") but there have been 11 total matches since his loan was announced, so my point is that 184 mins over the 11 eligible games isn't much.

Lord Bob Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Alderson has been injured, yes, although not as seriously as Fisk (whose season may be over). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
