So what, like, 9? Out of 34?

Agree overall with the rest but boy is that a low bar to set for a DP. Even for Jozy 9 games would be a disaster

Is Gallardo injured?

I specifically meant he was good in playoff games

FWIW he's always stepped up in big games for us over the years. He was clearly the weakest part of our back 3 in 2017 but he was still serviceable and in playoff and CCL games I think he's always...

Yup. I've been kinda lukewarm on this signing ever since I saw the rumours, even with the incredible potential for Impact banter this signing also achieves, but he's got a pretty impressive resume....

I can't see the FO moving Jozy now - they would be ridiculously stupid to do so after the Giovinco debacle last year.

We still need that winger, and we now desperately need a backup LB with Morgan...

I really really want Fraser to start but I think we're going to see at least some of Delgado at the 6 so that Oso and Poz can play in the same midfield.

If there weren't concerns about a...

Since Leiweke, the club president has always been involved in major signings and the Pozuelo issues were mainly down to going after him so late due to Manning/Bez not dealing with Giovinco's...

Benezet was good in flashes for us but not consistent, which wasn't necessarily his fault what with being in and out of the lineup in a new league. I can easily see him being a productive starter on...

This. The interesting thing to me about Westberg is he's been a backup for most of his career - he's had four pro seasons with 30+ games, one with us and three in France's third tier. We don't know...

I imagine players tend to stick up for fellow players more than agents and FO figures. Though he also seems to be implying that Benezet should stop having twitter arguments with fans, which I...

Well I guess that explains all those September games Vanney mysteriously didn't start Benezet for

My worry with Delgado leaving is we don't have anyone on the roster like him, other than maybe Okello, who I still don't think has even played for the senior side? Nobody else has MD's defensive...

Or Perisic

Wait so going off of what Manning said and assuming we want our third DP to look like this:

- Primarily a winger (preferably on the left)
- Also very comfortable playing as a striker
- Early...

My main concern is I'm still assuming we're going after a player to mainly play on the wing, and that's probably the least effective position on the field for a 30-something year old to play - a...

Can't find a quote of it but I remember Manning saying in the end of season press conference that they patched things up with Genk to get the deal done and he hinted the clubs could/would work...

I reckon Davies is simply an outlier. Nobody else has managed to come through the Whitecaps system and actually stay as a consistent starter/first-team player. Teibert is the closest thing and even...

Looks like they'll go for a DP pure winger with Agudelo being the backup #9

Doyle suggests we should go back to Lucas Janson, who he says was "very good" with us in 2018 and who...

re: Balo, I think Toronto would be a perfect fit for him in terms of the city, but really doesn't fit the needs of the team right now. Maybe in a couple years when Jozy starts to slow down?

I'd...

This. Always had a feeling he'd retire somewhere in the States and there are connections with it being a former team and Fraser being the coach. Hopefully for him it's the right fit, he deserves...

I expect Bradley and Morgan back on lower salaries

I'd be wary of signing Katai, IIRC he wasn't as good once he got a permanent contract

Not a surprise, he's plateaued the last couple of years. Really hope he gets ample minutes in 2020

Haha, this is the first thing I thought when I saw the move.

I'm fine with keeping Gallardo another year - from what I recall he was always intended to be a bit of a project - and he did make a really good impact off the bench that one game (Colorado I think)...
