wallflower Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Does Baldisimo stay local and head to CPL Vancouver? It will be interesting to see what happens with Godinho - injury-ongoing issues - I cannot see him being a starter future. Derek Cornelius - does he have any interest in returning? Whitecaps needs a solid CB (maybe two). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecaps needs a solid CB (maybe two). Baldi: yes, CPL bound Godinho: re-signed on a reasonable (aka cheap) deal as a fullback/wingback swingman. Cornelius: ship has sailed, he won't be back under the T-Shirt Guy's leadership. Watchmen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecaps needs a solid CB (maybe two). Baldisimo makes about $110 k US right now. I suspect he'd look for other options before heading to the CPL where he'd likely make maybe $40 k CDN. If the Whitecaps dropped Cornelius, I'd be happy to see him land in Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he could go the Metcalfe route but he lacks the athleticism/physicality and durability to warrant a higher packet at this time. I think he has to do what every other Jill or Joe has to do in the real world: start at the entry level and prove your worth. It has worked for Waterman.

Cornelius would be FAR happier in GTA than GVA for sure. And, yes, TFC in dire need of full back line up so that is where we will see him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatSA Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 As expected, only one Cap (Cavallini) and one BC-youth bred player (Waterman) made the MLS heavy squad for the Bahrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoppage Time Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 1) Caicedo if he recovers properly from injury. 2) The chance to, yet again, bring in some new players. The focus should include some good young guys. I like the Ralph Priso idea a lot. Are there other young guys who could compete for a spot on the team? 3) Will WWFC 2 begin to provide players to the senior squad? 4) The start of competition for fans with Vancouver FC should, of necessity, get VWFC to become better so the new kid in town does not "steal" too many fans (although I want both clubs to succeed at the agte).

Oh I don't think anyone gets taken. I'm just saying if someone did, I could see Dajome being the player. Maybe one of the American players. But I think the most likely scenario is no one.

Goal_Kick Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Interesting that Cavallini isn't on the list. Does that mean the Caps are interested in re-signing him? (If so, hopefully at a reduced salary and a non-DP spot.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
