Too bad, really - I thought the Caps deserved a draw today. I agree the first half was a snoozer but the second half showed some promise. The coaching staff now has two weeks to figure out what's going wrong and how to fix it. Let's hope they can. They keep doing to many mistakes, and only show up for one half , montero looks out of place, if it werent for the PK , he still have no goals ....if we kept kamara , we wouldnt be in this situation imagine, kamara doing the headers on the corner plays ... we have no one who can do headers, when we have a corner kick. Im not holding my breathe this season why im only watching it on TV, id rage to hard if i wasted money and went to bc place ...so atleast i can rage at home and punch my punching bag LOL with ali adnan comming next week, he will have a week of practice with them, and hopefully he can help, if we still lose with him, than not sure what to think LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is only coming for four months! The loan expires on June 30 and he goes back to Italy. So if he's a really good player he'll help out the Caps for several months and then they're back to square one in the middle of the season when he leaves. I suppose he can be seen as a stopgap measure until they find a permanent replacement but it seems odd to me. As well, it reinforces the view of MLS as minor league. Players come here to keep in practice until they can go home and play real soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucksPatsFan Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Don't see it posted in here but crazy story about how that super agent David Baldwin, who everyone but Robbo hates , is the one who "brokered" the deal for Davies to Bayern because Robbo and Baldwin got a 5% of the transfer fee cut if he went to Bayern. Even though PSG offered more money. Crazy. Glad Robbo is gone. Even if this team goes 0-10 to start the season, can't have that kind of shady "leadership" running the club. Not that Lenarduzzi is any better. But to dictate where a 17 year old kid goes not for the betterment of his future, but for personal gain? At the end of the day Bayern may be the better option than PSG or Man U (It was the super agent that blocked the practicing with Man U for a couple weeks stint), but it should have been Davies' choice, not Baldwin and Robbo's.

One of the local reporters had a twitter thread on it. I'll try after work to find it. His thread was a long series of Tweets exposing all of it. It was all tied to this super agent's other client Aaron Ramsey and other ties to certain European teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 So after five games they're 0-4-1 and have been shutout three times. The odd thing is, I still think they have the core of a decent team. Doeneil Henry, Hwang In-Beom, Maxime Crepeau, Lass Bangoura, Ali Adnan (penalty kick aside) and Jake Nerwinski all seem to be good players. The major problem, as it seems to be year after year after year, is getting a reliable goal scorer. Once again this season, they don't seem to have one. Should they somehow stumble onto one this team could still make some noise. At least, that's the way I see it through my rose-coloured eyeglasses.

milk and honey Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 bad pk good first half needed to bury a chance. 2nd half not much going forward and just to many mistakes on the back end. Caps need new ownership and stop this band-aid appoached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll never spend the money required to get one and If they happen to luck out with a hidden gem they won't be able to keep them more than one year. Embarrassing management top to bottom year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinky-Winky Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I dont even watch the whitecaps no more, they 0-4-1 and cant seem to score goals.....kinda a joke untill they get rid bob and the rest, not worth the time or money. But i did watch fridays game, just cause of zlatan and he classy guy, giving that one fan a signature, even though he entered the pitch illegally lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Bob L needs to fall on his sword and resign to save face. People complain about the Canucks ownership, the 'Caps ownership is a joke. Nash and Mallett can stay. Kerfoot and Luczo should sell their part of ownership. Bring in a new president who wants to win, and develop local talent.

Those are the Whitecaps (and no Hughes type of player waiting in the wings). Owner(s) likely got rich pocketing the Davies money. Need to get the Aquaman to buy this team.
