All this stuff is such a farce. Is Doneil Henry an international for Vancouver because he is a “citizen” of Cyprus?

Was Davies a homegrown international before he became a Canadian citizen in June 2017?

Not sure I follow. Assuming he is still a dual citizen?
BTW, he’s looking more and more setttled these days. Finally taking those rash challenges (or should I call them Ciman style “adventures”) out of his game. That instantly makes him a strong CB, still has star potential.
Is it just me, or is anyone else going nuts for some rumours here? Over 3 weeks now, and we have had one kinda rumour. How have we not heard a peep yet?
Here’s a bad one for you: https://twitter.com/transfersbot/sta...796302336?s=21
Bill Manning interview for tsn with Luke Wileman- Bill's words below:
1) vdw release frees up a little bit of money.
2) Ali leaving tonight to finalize a player acquisition. Likely to be revealed next week.
3) Looking to use Tam money on a European player. Could take 2 weeks because European leagues are ongoing.
4) saving a spot for a summer acquisition to finalize a missing piece like done with ricketts and cooper in past years
Sounds like VDW got paid to leave as part of his mutual consent.
Please no Bobby Wood.
The video for the Manning interview - the sound ain't good but its all discernable
They mentioned in the Pozo conference multiple times how much time Ali spent in Belgium. Plus the Gayot connection. Plus the locker room references. Those all seemed like clues to me.
Belgium. Who else from Belgium?
Ali knows Anderlecht from his NYRB days, he dealt with them on Klejstan.
A guy on Anderlecht who is unsettled, who isn’t a core player, who is near the end of his deal.
Andy Najar.
Signed only through 2020.
A technical, speedy player. A winger. The kind of guy Manning loved at RSL.
A guy you would need a top spot in the allocation order to get.
Dero and Deleon were teammates and would be informed locker room references.
You're welcome. ;-)

I think he played everywhere at DCU. EDIT: I just searched, I can’t find evidence of that. So best to assume right side only.
But right wing is fine. So is RB for that matter.
This is also a signing that might make Pozo happy, in that it's a player that he knows, and that he knows will have an immediate understanding of his game.

I'd be too worried about Najar's injury history, though hasn't stopped this club before

I’d hope we could get someone better than Najar.
I’d actually consider using our VDW bucks on Gressel if there’s a way to get him here.
Idir Ouali ...... or Carlos de Pena ?? Left wing shopping on Transfermarkt. Lol
