Good Monday morning Caps fans. The Super Bowl is in the books which means it is officially MLS season in North America. This is the last week without the Whitecaps for awhile. We haven’t gotten any more incomings but I did forget to drop in an outgoing in Friday’s column and I think it deserves more discussion. That departure is Alessandro Schopf, who officially won’t …

Thursday night at Starlight Stadium, Cavalry FC recorded a memorable result in the first leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup tie with Liga MX giants Pumas UNAM, securing a 2-1 victory. Evidently, it was a huge night for Cavalry, but it may have been an even bigger night for the Canadian Premier League and Canadian club soccer as a whole. The CPL project has not …

Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are having a lovely week and that you are nearing the finish line heading into the weekend. Vancouver Whitecaps wrapped up their European working holiday in style, besting Swedish side IF Brommapojkarna. Jayden Nelson and Ali Ahmed tallied the two goals in a 2-0 win and both of those guys getting on the scoresheet was a very …

The Vancouver Whitecaps are potentially looking to add American winger Emmanuel Sabbi (27) from Ligue 1 side Le Havre. But is he any good? It’s a bit hard to say! Let’s go on a retrospective of his very weird career. Part 1: A Bold Step: 1997-2022 Sabbi was born in Italy to Ghanaian parents. The family emigrated to the United States shortly after he was …

Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all are well rested and ready to tackle whatever February throws at you. Well, the frustration of Stuart Armstrong’s departure from the Vancouver Whitecaps has not subsided within the fanbase and the revelation that the Caps earned a fairly paltry fee from Sheffield Wednesday hasn’t helped. I alluded to the dilemma the team is in on Friday but …

The Vancouver Whitecaps suddenly have a ton of roster flexibility. The way I see it they currently have three big needs. A Striker: Probably purely a backup for Brian White…unless… W/FW: This not quite a winger not quite a striker used to be the Whitecaps’ specialty. It felt like from 2012-2016 they would sign about six players every window who “could play anywhere across the …

Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are having a good week and that you can have a well-deserved break this weekend. Well, it wasn’t the week the Vancouver Whitecaps wanted. It appears Stuart Armstrong’s tenure in Vancouver will be short lived, with the Caps officially announcing a deal to send him to Sheffield Wednesday. This is obviously enormously disappointing, as we saw in …

Less than 24 hours ago I was mocking the idea of Stuart Armstrong moving back to the UK as an obviously fabricated story. Nobody bats 1.000. I can’t lie, it’s a bit of a kick in the nuts with the season fast approaching. In the immediate term, this makes the Whitecaps quite a bit weaker. But that need not be the final outcome of the …
