IceCreamMan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Per twitter signed 28 year old Canadian Tyler Rosenlund. I guess its good to have veteran leadership but I can't help but think this spot would be more useful to develop a young player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Or maybe they feel that if he does really well they might give him a look at the first team. Has been a stalwart for the Rhinos over many seasons now, and it wouldn't be his first MLS minutes either. He has had his critics too, but as a Voyageur I'll not focus on those, or even bring them to easy light by linking them, but the articles are easily found for those interested.

IceCreamMan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I don't know anything about the actual player I just think that at 28 the ship has likely sailed on him becoming a CMNT regular therefore I'd rather save the spot for someone who might be one down the road. Could be proven wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I know what you are saying. As has been pointed out by many over the years, though, if those young men are good enough to play for the Caps, they will earn their spot...no sense rushing it. Myself, I'm very hopeful that the Caps give a few more Canadians chances this year to prove themselves though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I agree for MLS but for a league like USL that's focus is development its a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always good to have a few around who've "been there, done that and got the T-shirt". At 28 not that old either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Maybe he impresses, earns some MLS minutes, and gets back on the CMNT radar. You never know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ref Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Which Canadian women teams still remain in the W-League for 2015? can someone bring me up to date? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Always good to have a few around who've "been there, done that and got the T-shirt". At 28 not that old either. I agree. You need older players for balance in the team, otherwise who's going to teach the youngsters the pro-game, like killing a game when your leading or what you need to do off the field to be good pro. There's not too many experienced Canadian players around so I really like this move. And no, I don't see him climbing the ladder to MNT level, but that's no the point.

tmcmurph Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 3 more signed. Of interest for this board is Mackenzie Pridham. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Pridham has represented Canada at the U-17 and U-20 national team levels, including playing at the 2007 Chivas Cup in Guadalajara, Mexico. Drafted 58th in the 2014 MLS Superdraft but not signed and played in NASL/USL last year. http://www.whitecapsfc.com/wfc2/2015/03/wfc2-add-three-mls-superdraft-picks-usl-roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Gonna repost this in this thread as it's more relevant here: The wildcard for WC2 is where you expect to see all the current bench and bubble players get a proper, regular runout? It's nice to look at all those Canadian names and dream but where do the following non-Canadians get to play extended blocks of time: Sampson, Deybi, Mattocks, Tornaghi, Dean, Hurtado, Lewis, Parker? You can add the two guys mentioned above to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the MLS and USL sides don't have a lot of options this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the MLS and USL sides don't have a lot of options this weekend. Also you can expect a lot more rotation in WC2. The staff need to see the players in game situations so 6 Canadians on the field minimum means you have 5 spots to play around with for everyone else.

Barthez-Battalion Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Don't know what Vancouver is doing. Tornaghi loaned instead of Carducci, and no Bustos loan either. Bustos needs to play, and so does Carducci. Also if Tornaghi is the starter for WC2 he is taking minutes away from a Canadian. I don't get this at all. Edit: According to some, Tornaghi is a one game thing, which I still don't get because I'd rather see one of the younger Whitecaps play. Apparently Carducci is injured. I am assuming Bustos is also injured, otherwise no reason for him not to play with WC2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 ^ masster mentioned that Bustos is hurt. Quite a few Canadians in the lineup; getting school 3-0 at the half though, so not doing themselves any favours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmcmurph Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Both Marco's are out injured. Bad play by WC2. S2 was doing some basic high pressure tactics and none of our defenders or mids could pass their way out of it. Long ball turnovers to relieve pressure, constant turnovers, poor clearances, poor marking in our third. Not a good outing for our guys. I hope they get their act together. Saw some nice dribbles and runs with the ball but the passing basics were shut off by Seattle's pressure high up the field. They need to deal with that a lot better next time they face it.
