  1. Van Gaal on Bale "I cannot discuss that with you. I discuss that with my CEO and not anyone of the media."
  2. Expected that the Rivero signing will be announced tmr if ok'd by MLS
  3. So the Messi to Chelsea rumors pick up day by day. For the first time ever, the thought of Messi actually leaving is somewhat real lol Chelsea's changed their sponsor to Turkish Airlines. Their two main sponsors are Adidas and Turkish Airlines. Messi is part of both. He did the commercial with Drogba, and he did the Fifa 15 commercial with Hazard. Messi hates the financial situation. He's blaming his father and apparently he and his wife want to move away from him. Tax issues that have resulted in fines, etc. Messi on remaining at Barca - he wants to stay "but somethings don't work out as you planned." Fabregas and Messi are best friends. Messi brought Fabregas to Barca, now Fabregas is publicly trying to bring him. Their wives are best friends. Barcelona right now is just not what it was a few years back. Jose is the God of football. Adidas would pay a lot of the transfer to bring him here. But then again, I'm a biased Chelsea homer. Mourinho said there's no chance today only because of FFP.
  4. Disagree. Think the top six is put together well - although Ritchie's lack of top end speed might catch up to them in the elimination games. Think the bottom six is put together best as possible with the players they brought. However, I do think they brought the wrong fit of players for the bottom six.
  5. but he won't because duclair and lazar are easily the two best right wingers.. and they'll want to keep the skill line of petan/point/fabbri imo. i think moving paul into the 4c spot and taking out gauthier would be good though.
  6. didactic biggest troll of hfcanucks december 2014

  7. it's cdc in a nutshell really. you think about it.. the amount of people who wanted virtanen @ 6 prior to the draft was between 10-20%. now it's around 50% saying that they'd have taken him at the draft.
  8. Currently they have one righty on the 3rd line (Fabbri) and Virtanen is the only righty on the fourth line. I'm saying if you move Virtanen up to the 3rd and replace him with one of the lefties and move Fabbri to center, (because fabbri has easily been the best of the three,) you're putting three lefties on the fourth. i don't know how that's saying a 3rd line of lefties is better. And also, he hasn't performed better than Lazar or Duclair to earn a top six spot.
  9. Obviously he's not playing favorites if he dumped a fifth overall draft pick he's taken a crap on the CHL this year in favor of Virtanen and a 17 year old. He's judging his lineups based on camp performance and fit in the lineup. There isn't any politics with Groulx. 1RW - Duclair is dynamite 2RW - Lazar is fantastic. Would you complain if Horvat was on the second line right wing instead of Virtanen? 3RW - He wants to have a skilled line I'm assuming, so he takes Fabbri over Virtanen. Either way, Fabbri is wonderful. If you want Virtanen on the 3rd line you want him with Fabbri. Even if you make the argument he belongs on the 3rd line right wing over a guy like Nick Paul or Petan, both are left handed shots.. and by moving one of those guys down you're putting 3 lefties on the fourth line which would not be smart.
  10. It's not like he's doing anything to displace the guys above him Everyone else above him was good today so i don't get the bitching about the coach being biased.
  11. According to Weber, Rivero is finalizing his deal with Vancouver. 200k salary because he's a young DP http://www.theprovince.com/sports/Whitecaps+land+goal+scorer+Rivero/10671852/story.html
  12. Hopefully Virtanen and Nylander play tonight. That'll be fun.

      Yah,..this is going to be good.

  13. Bringing in an old fashioned back to goal, in the box finisher as a bench option would be wonderful to have.
  14. Definitely pricey. At that money, if he doesn't give fifteen goals+, it's a bust. I have full faith in Robinson though.. Also, with Ballouchy/Alderson/Fernandez gone, no contract for Leveron + OB.. I expect another four new players on top of Octavio
  15. Reportedly not. Southsiders been talking about it. http://vancouversouthsiders.ca/forum/discussion/4732/dp-striker-for-2015#Item_83 it's kind of in depth but whatever his buy out is 3m
  16. James Johnson took Drummond's life today

  17. Whitecaps rumored to have acquired Octavio Rivero of the Chilean Primera Division. He's a 22 year old striker with 20 goals in his last 32 games. Nothing even close to being official.. but rumors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ2bFai0aK8 Fee probably going to be a few million, young DP which is different from a regular DP or some shit. MLS contracts I'm not very educated in. It's confusing as fuck
  18. Just going to throw it out there, with Robinson's ties to England and his coaching experience.. I don't think he'll be staying here for too long. He's already received interest from the Wolves. Rosales signing is nice to have as well, especially as a non DP. Another tidbit, Dane Richards (former attacker) is out of contract and wants to sign somewhere in the MLS. We hold his rights, therefore we want allocation money. I'm assuming you guys have heard that Robinson's mainly done his digging around in South America. Currently spending his Christmas I think in England. First preseason tournaments will be starting in early February.
  19. Sbisa's been the second worst defenseman in the NHL this year.
