Whitecaps Roster and Roster Moves

[dezza]

Welcome Andy O'Brien!!!

Whitecaps FC add experienced centre back Andy O

 

[Regs]

But he isn't Scottish so he must be crap

I hope he can slide in quickly and form a good working partnership with Bonjour in the back.

Wow. I guess no player can relax on this team? Wish our O'35's team had this problem.

In a couple of years if you have the right connections they can be your over 35 team but I doubt they can compete with the Castillians.

Good to see they are adressing needs but we still need depth on right back if Lee goes down and perhaps an upgrade on the flanks. Liking what I'm seeing though and hope all these players are in form come playoffs in front of a sold out crowd against the Galaxy.

Its time to open the upper bowl now

Nice to have a lot of depth in the back. Especially with Rochat and Bonjour being off and on every week. And Bonjour collecting yellows like a jaundice magnet. I would like to see us get a strong DP Winger or front runner to replace Camilo.

I think a sell out of 21,000 with the upper bowl open would lose some of the intimate atmostphere they have created

Club > North American Manufactured (If I show my dedication here, I may get another call-up to the USA MNT) All-Star Game :no-no:

 

[dezza]

Nana Attakora on trial.

I believe SJ still own his MLS rights so the Caps would have to give them something (allocation, draft pick, etc) to get him on the roster.

On the plus side, he is another option at CB and a Canadian to boot!

 

[dezza]

The mid-season roster overhaul continues... and Camilo gets a friend

Whitecaps FC add midfielder Tiago Ulisses | Vancouver Whitecaps FC

EDIT: I just saw the highlights. When I heard Brazilian + Midfielder I didn't expect a package of tackles! Brazilian he is... but he plays nothing like Camilo.

 

[Luch]

An improvement on Davidson, I would think...

 

[cascadesoccer]

Koffie meet Bench, Bench meet Koffie. Guy looks like a defensive beast, but this is just youtube. Koffie has been playing strong, but if this guy is as good as the video shows Robson and Ulisses will be a strong pairing. I like the signing of a young player.

 

[Wally]

Looks solid on the video...gotta wonder how much he's going to enjoy sliding on the surface in the stadium.

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Good stuff.....that's the way it should be. They are bringing in the Irishman for a bit of finesse in the back and the Brazilian for a bit of grit. Wait a minute...........

 

[Mr Base]

We are getting dam old team boys. I say bring five Canadian kids from NASL or from reseve sides and let them develop. Old horses are only good for little bit and then they spat out.

 

[johnnybluenose]

Does base read any of the posts prior to his? Ffs.

 

[dutch13]

Isn't this guy 23? Also, from the sounds of it he will be competing for Davidsons position, which is "davidson's to lose" as quoted by Rennie. Judging by the amount of time off after Davidson's last suspension (Rennie went with Rochat) I think he will start or at least come off the bench against Salt Lake.

 

[Mr Base]

Yes I do johnny, Tiago I do agree with. We need more young players. How about adding a Canadianot two to our side here. Do't you think it is about time.
I like the sertain improvments but with out Canadian kids on the starting eleven it is no use.
We need to improve number one our National side. We will never do that with out giving our kids a chance.

 

[johnnybluenose]

It is "sertainly" not Lenard Bobbaduzzi's job to develop players for the national side. It's to put the best players together that he can to run a profitable business. Them running as profitable a business as possible includes developing their own players as well as signing free agents and drafting and trading. They haven't developed enough to supplant players ahead of them in the depth chart. I dont fcuking understand what is so difficult to graps here. Ffs. Wasting bandwidth. Who gives a shite if they're young or old. As long as they win and put a good product on the park to fill te house nobody has any right to whinge.
