N1ckbr0wn Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Reports around MLS have rumoured interest from Seattle and Sport Kansas City in Lucas. Would love to see him stay in Mexico, Seattle would be a pretty decent destination for him as well. Not gonna lie seeing him in Seattle would hurt a bit being a Whitecaps fan 🤧 Edited November 6, 2019 by N1ckbr0wn johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reign Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Seattle would be ideal if he does come to MLS. Not to far for me I catch games now and again. He would be dominant in the mls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think there are a handful of better destinations for him - #1 is obviously Toronto. The sooner they can offload Jozy Alwaysore the better.

Obinna Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Seattle would be an alright move, but I would prefer to him to move within Liga MX or possibly go to Europe if there is interest overseas. I can imagine him in Portugal. Maybe he wouldn't be of interest to Benfica or Porto, but could he be useful to a Sporting Braga or Lisbon? johnyb, JuicyHam, dyslexic nam and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also prefer him at Toronto if he was to make an MLS move, but I don't see him wanting an MLS move at this stage of his career, to be honest.

He'd also become a fairly household name in TFC, would prolly be able to pad the pocket book some more with some other local/Canadian sponsorships. ( I don't know if MLS has restrictions or not or on that thing). The fact TFC went on this run, including playoffs really does make you feel TFC might try and off load Altidore this off season. Provided they can find a replacement and IMO Cav is an upgrade :). Edited November 6, 2019 by apbsmith Grandparents johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid-Tone Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 That's a good idea! Maybe he can promise Vanney that he'll apply for US citizenship in order to make it happen! apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Just because Altidore and Cavallini are big bodies doesn't mean they can't play together as a pair. They would have to work out the numbers, but if Cavallini could replace Mullins that would be an incredible upgrade. With all due respect to Mullins, he is the epidomy of a backup, and considering Jozy's propensity to get injured, I think TFC would do well to get a better CF alternative, unless they want to keep playing Pozuelo as a false 9. It has taken them all the way to another MLS cup final, so it has been working... Cavallini would take a lot of pressure off Jozy, but would also make Jozy work for the starting position. That said, I see Cavallini wanting more of a guarantee of playing time if he is going to MLS, so hard to see Toronto for the time being. He should go to Europe of a few seasons, earn some nice paychecks and see how high he can climb up the ladder while he is still in his prime. Then come in as Jozy's replacement at the age of 29/30/31 ish and play out his career at home. apbsmith and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has performed well in Liga MX, unless they throw a boatload of money at him to come to MLS he should keep pushing himself to the highest level possible. That is what is best for his career and the national team. dyslexic nam and apbsmith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) My preference would definitely be for him to keep seeking increasingly competitive environments. He still seems like a player that can push higher. Having said that, landing in MLS for a Canadian team that pays him well would be a decent outcome for him and for fans who want to watch him regularly. The fact is that MLS is now strong enough that being a solid player there provides enough of a platform to succeed in international footy - at least within CONCACAF. Edited November 6, 2019 by dyslexic nam I can't believe how many times I seem to now screw up there and their. Getting old... apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I am sure at this point in his career he is looking for his payday. MLS might be the league that can provide that for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go that way and unload Altidore, replacing him with a similar but younger/cheaper domestic would seem like a smart plan. Keep the INT slots open for back ups like Endoh or Bakero. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saladroit Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) apparently close to signing with Sporting KC: https://www.tudn.mx/liga-mx/el-choque-ante-necaxa-puede-ser-el-ultimo-de-cavallini-con-puebla On the future of the player, although there are interest in their services some clubs of the Liga MX , everything indicates that an MLS team , Sporting Kansas City , are the ones who stay with the player, so this Friday may be the last Cavallini clash with the Puebla shirt.
