    Now all of those Vancouver fans who get pissy over the notion of TFC being Canada's team think long and hard about this one. I guess Montreal can be Canada's team too..lol

    Oh yes please take him. He'll spend the rest of the season injured on the bench.

    Hilarious. Would love to see how the Vancouver fans spin this if it comes to fruition. Still seems most likely that West Brom will pick him up, though. At least that's what I've been hearing.

    I tend to agree, but hard to stay positive supporting one of the worst pro soccer teams on the planet

    I wonder what the fan reactions will be if this is true. What questions will the press ask him?

    I love this reader comment at the bottom of the article:

    "This would be a huge improvement tho the central mid in Vancouver as long as he is able to stay healthy. As a whitecap and Hargreaves fan I am extremely excited by the prospect of him playing in vancouver"

    Well yes, dumbass, that's just the thing, isn't it. LOL.

    If its true, that is just amazing. Not good, just amazing. Could they really be this dumb?

    Can you imagine Hargreaves having to play regularly on turf?

    The Vancouver Whitecaps are ready to make a major player announcement on Tuesday morning, and while there is no clear evidence of who the player is, there are plenty of rumors swirling about where the player might be from.
    There is a strong belief the player is of Africa descent after well-known Nigerian journalist Colin Udoh wrote on Twitter that a captain of an African national team was going to be announced as the first MLS Designated Player from Africa in a Tuesday press conference.
    Marc Weber of The Province is reporting that the player is a forward, which would allow the Whitecaps to slide Camilo Sanvezzo to the wing.

    If it's Hargraves I'd just like to note how refreshing it is that someone other than TFC is doing something colossally stupid.

    Start your own thread about boring African captain fantasies, this thread is about traitorous permacrock signing for a team worse than even us fantasies.

    Going to go check Ben Massey's twitter. I'm sure it's filled with all sorts of self-hatred right now.

    I'd assume anyone who owns/operates an MLS team is smarter than me on several levels. How can they think OH to #WhitecapsFC is a good idea?

    @SCGGrant: I'll give you a hint: the Whitecaps are dead fucking last.

    Would it take all that much effort to find the dozen or so African national team captains worth playing in MLS, figure out which would make a move to MLS, and start a rumour about them? No. That's why it's Hargreaves.
