As i understand it, the Whitecaps have the chance to grab him with the first overall pick in the up coming draft?

From the business side of things I'd say go for it Bobby. Who Knows? Maybe Wayne joins him in a few years? (Long Shot) But still be cool To have that connection and Whitecap Rooney jersey's to boot..

Thoughts?

I say no way.

Take the kid they just signed for this year in D2.

And by the time Wayne would be coming over here, one of Beckham's kids will be eligible for the draft. That's where the long-term business plan should be

Huddersfield Town
Rooney was offered a trial with Huddersfield Town and has linked up for pre-season training with The Terriers, and had a 45 minute run out in a 5-0 friendly win at AFC Emley on the 9 July 2010. Huddersfield manager Lee Clark who also has Australian midfielder Calum Hare on trail said "We are having a look at both of them. They will play two or three pre-season games, and be given a good opportunity to earn a contract."
