Of those out of contract, I think Techera is still young, and fits in, and Kamara has leadership and gives us goals. As commented, if our out of contracts do not come back, we need another keeper, another centre back, another DM, two wing attackers and a 10-goal a year target striker.

toontownman Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Sean Melvin - yep Doneil Henry - uhuh Brett Levis - uhuh Nicolas Mezquida - yep David Norman Jr. - uhuh Yordy Reyna - uhuh Erik Hurtado - HUH? I swear they must renegotiate hurtados deal and pay him less money each year. Thought he was out for sure this year. Happy with the roster moves. If we can dump Blondell and Juarez even better. Exciting times if we can invest properly. Even if we don't it will be exciting until March lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I don't understand the Hurtado hate. He is a serviceable, not expensive, domestic squad player that works hard and doesn't complain. If you have to turn to him when desperate, he can sometimes do the job for you. Of course he is limited. But what more do you expect from the 20th player on your roster?

masster Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Dos Santos interview from today discussing the option pick ups. Most interesting point I thought was that he still hasn't had a conversation with Waston yet. https://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1040/dos-santos-concern-is-with-the-club-moving-forward-not-looking-at-the-past-1.1216225 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think considering how old Hurtado is now ( not to mention how painful it is to watch him attempt to play football) most fans think the 20th roster spotshould go to a young Canadian from the Academy. Even those who kinda had a soft spot for him over time mostly feel that way at this point But based on your criteria with an expansion team coming some think he was kept as a piece to move.

toontownman Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I just think Hurtados time came and went and he simply hasn't improved. He has pace but is still inconsistent in front of goal and in his decision making. He does bring experience at this point but I think we should be aiming higher. I'd like us to bring in two quality strikers, dumping hurtado/blondell, retaining Kamara and blooding in Colyn and Bair. He isn't and shouldn't be 1st 2nd or 3rd choice for where we want to be and at 4th or 5th choice he is just getting in Colyn and Bair's way. All that said we can't just can and replace everyone this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koch knows him very well im sure I don't see it that way. On a 28-30 man roster, you have enough space for both a squad player like Hurtado and promising youth like Bair. If our young Canadians are as good as we want them to be, then they should be able to surpass a limited player like Hurtado. If they don`t, that says more about the quality of our youth, not the quality of Hurtado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerf Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Waston and Kamara gone. When you include the Davies trade, I'd say that in the last three months Caps have lost the three best players that have ever donned the jersey. (I'm not going to include that little Brazilian in the list out of spite). Dos Santos really has his work cut out for him now. Hopefully he has a grand vision in mind.

Grizzly Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Maybe I am undervaluing the worth of TAM and GAM in a salary cap league but it seems like a low return for a good starting CB.Possibly his relatively high salary of 600k made him harder to move and with the TAM and GAM gives the Caps an extra 1 350 000 to work with next season. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018/12/11/fc-cincinnati-acquire-kendall-waston-vancouver-whitecaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Plus keep in mind that the guy is going to be 31 years old by the time next season starts. It is likely you aren't really buying many years of quality service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Credit to Glasscity for the math.. nothing matrers but this. Juarez will get bought out and this is it To get back to a typical Caps budget (im expecting a shade more) they now have roughly about 7 million to sign 11 players and 8 international sopts Giddy up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 From what I can tell, MDS has taken care of the workaday foundation of the team and will now go abroad to sign the higher quality talent the team needs. What is exciting to see is that he has a very clear idea of the sort of player he is looking for, both in terms of technical ability and temperament. Time will tell, but I get the feeling the Caps will have a very clear identity under MDS, something that was not always the case under Robbo. (Yeah, for a period of time we were a countering side, but it was often naïve and too one-dimensional.) Excited to see who MDS signs. We need some top talent, and we have the cash to do so. From things he has said, I expect MDS to bring in a number of players from south east Asia. Should be an interesting off season. I like what I am seeing so far.
