Califax Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 But in..., oh (and for purposes of this post let's pick a random number that I haven't used before in a post) say, 20 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be 37, as Califax has pointed out, but still a demon with the ball at his feet. (I will take my (future) grandkids to watch him play.)

Free kick Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 It will be interesting to see what the Caps do with this money. My understanding (unless it has changed) is that the league gets a portion of the incomming transfer fees. And, that the portion that goes to the club, has to go to a trust fund that stipulates that the $$$ must be spent to benefit the club only. And it doesnt have to be on player acquisitions. So it will be interesting to see how the Whitecaps use this money. Unless this has all changed, but anectodally thats how it worked in MLS based on what we had heard from past transfers. Will the money go to the academy? Player development?Stadium improvements? Or player acquistions such as a DP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for Davies Vancouver keeps all of it, 750,000 can be used on salaries and the rest has to be used on infrastructure/transfer fees/pocketed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
