BearcatSA Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 21 hours ago, The Beaver 2.0 said: We need a massive upgrade in midfield. Maybe the young turks will grow to be studs, but that will take some time. I am fine keeping Rusty, but the only midfielder here who helps us know is Inbeom. Erice needs to go, as does Andy Rose. Teibert and Rose need to be back ups, not regular starters, imo. MDS seems to value Rose, so I don't see him going anywhere, much to the dismay of the fanbase. The young turks you speak of won't be emerging with this team: they'll be making their breakthrough elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 More evidence Whitecaps don't know how to provide opportunities to young players. Liam Fraser on his days at the Whitecaps: Fraser doesn’t offer much about his time in the Whitecaps organization, saying: “It was all right.” But pressed, he spills. “They never gave me the opportunity I felt I deserved there and I think a lot of people over there tried taking credit for something I don’t think they built up at all ... Last time I went to Vancouver I had a couple of people, part of the (Vancouver) organization – I won’t name anyone – say ‘Oh, it was great to see a Whitecaps product.’ And I said ‘You guys didn’t give me nothing.“’ He believes the Whitecaps, while giving him a chance to play in his own age group, “never pushed me for that next step.” “I owe everything to Toronto FC and the people that gave me opportunity here,” he said. As a result Fraser looks forward to games against the Whitecaps. “I love them.” https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/soccer/article-liam-fraser-bides-his-time-with-toronto-fc-but-believes-he-is-ready/ deschamp86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 It's an upgrade on anything before. We shall see if he lasts or even has an impact. So much change needed again on the pitch. MDS has until the summer window to show he can take the team forward imo. Schuster will be ruthless if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Has there been no more word on Henry's transfer?? I'm curious to see how much they sell him for. And on a related note, did Davies transfer had a performance clause included?? With him getting all this game time, I wonder if the Whitecaps are getting a bunch more German cash.

Ed_S Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Was reading up on Colyn's loan to PSV Eindhoven when I came across Chituru Odunze sale to Leicester.

SpursFlu Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) As been mentioned before he doesn't have Canadian citizienship. I'll just assume people are joking because the thought that the Whitecaps are directing players to play for the US is a lets just say... an interesting thought. Another bigger picture item is.. if we don't want the US picking off dual nationals we shouldn't have them playing in the USSD or whatever it's called. Especially since our teams always excel and get in to the final rounds where the spotlight really turns on these players Edited November 22, 2019 by SpursFlu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I know that Odunze did not have Canadian citizenship at the time he started playing for the US. From what I understand, he has since acquired it, but by then he was probably too entrenched in the American system. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you couldn't switch if you didn't hold the nationality prior to playing in official FIFA competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 One Big Question: What kind of a midfielder is Inbeom Hwang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Whitecaps FC acquire Canadian-born left back Cristián Gutiérrez guess its not bad as a backup as hes Canadian and over 40 games in Chile at close to 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 This was a pretty logical step. Whitecaps short at LB and as we saw with him almost signing for Valour, he was at least open to if not seeking a move to Canada. I thought they would have him on trial in the training camp first though. The fact they made him put pen to paper already is a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of those players who is so technically good and intelligent, I believe he wouldnt look out of step playing anywhere in the world. I think the problem last year was he didn't have complementary pieces in the midfield with him and at first tried to do too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
