runlsd Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Here's a new Whitecaps signing. Lee Young Pyo, a South Korean full back. Played for PSV Eindhoven, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund, and played in 3 world cups. Seems like a solid signing and will bring experience to the Caps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Young-Pyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Lee has more top flight experience than all of the Whitecaps combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 lol this "kid" has played for Tottenham, and other well know Euro clubs. Will bring some experience, and skill that this team lacked last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckprospect16 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'm hoping to pick up some WhiteCaps tickets as Christmas gifts this year; anyone know when I can expect them to go on sale? I know the Impact are in town for the home opener, that would be a sweet game! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Salinas and Nolly were also shipped out. Not entirely sure I agree with those decisions, but at least they're attempting to make some changes. Happy with the signing of Lee. Got to see quite a bit of him during the last few world cups, and during his time with Tottenham. He's a quality player that I think will make the necessary imapact at the MLS level. It's nice that they're addressing our defense, but god they need to do something about the midfield. It's just looking ugly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure80 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Played for my club...Borussia Dortmund.Its been a long time since he is away...I would say he is a solid player.What i remember most the whole stadium (over 80000) screamed Leeeee when he came on the ball was very funny.

canucks3322 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 my bad I read somewhere on sportsnet that he was a 16 year or something aha my bad but this guy will help us out in the back so much with a healthy demerit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Tissue Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 interesting we signed a korean kid, and traded jay nolly for 1st nd supplemental draft pick hopefully we can pick up de guzmen If you mean Julian i wouldn't get your hopes up. I don't see him moving simply due to his price tag. Little too expensive for a defensive midfielder in the MLS (considering how little the salary cap is). Although i do think he would help the Whitecaps out, i would say their midfield needs the most work, especially after signing that Korean (jealous of the quality of that signing, and not even at DP price) to shore up the D.

Scar Tissue Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Also Vancouver picked up Lee Nguyen yesterday: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/12/16/nguyen-eager-take-new-challenge-vancouver Will wait till i see him in action to judge..

canucks3322 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Depth signing? probably also Salgado has been training everywhere, he's trained in england,netherland, here's the article of his off-season http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2012/01/omar-salgados-experiences-abroadTo say Omar Salgado has had an off-season is a bit of a misnomer.The 18 year old, selected first overall in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft by Vancouver Whitecaps FC, ended his season with Martin Rennie’s unconventional postseason training camp, and since then has had training sessions and matches in Germany, the Netherlands and England.Now, after a few weeks off with friends and family, which he mainly spent in El Paso, Texas, with family, Salgado is in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, training with the United States U-20 team. “It’s different because it’s a lot quicker,” Salgado told MLSsoccer.com by phone on Tuesday, discussing the style of soccer in Europe. “I felt [the speed] in Fulham and I felt it in the Netherlands. Being in the Netherlands, it’s not as physical – you couldn’t really touch the players – I don’t know if it was the referees or the way they play there, but it was different. In MLS it’s a lot more physical, but there it was just about playing the ball.” His European journey began with a trip to Germany with the U.S. U-23 squad, where Tab Ramos ran a camp from Nov. 7-15.From there, Salgado went to London, where he trained with Premier League side Fulham FC from Nov. 17 to Dec. 4, where he linked up with fellow Texan Clint Dempsey.The U.S. international took Salgado under his wing during his time training in England, even having him over for Thanksgiving dinner.“He invited me over to his house a couple of times,” Salgado said. “He has a great family and I’m really happy for him for what he’s been doing the past few weeks. I’m really grateful to him and his wife for taking me in and taking care of me while I was over there.”The forward trained mainly with the reserve squad but did take part in a number of first-team sessions.“I got to train with the first team a couple of times,” Salgado said. “It was great to see the guys you see on TV every day, so to play with them was awesome, and you get to see they’re normal people just like everyone else. They impressed me with the way they played and I learned a lot from them.”Not long after, Salgado participated in a Generation Adidas camp from Dec. 5-15 in the Netherlands, during which he played against the youth team of famous Dutch club Ajax, and took in a Champions League match between Ajax and Real Madrid.“It was good to be with players close to my age, and players in a similar environment to me,” Salgado said of the Generation Adidas tour. “I learned how to play with these guys and how to adjust to different types of players – it was a great experience for me.”Whitecaps FC are hoping these varied experiences in foreign environments will help their prized asset bring his game to the next level.“If he’s taken these experiences on the way it was expected, then I think he’ll have learned a lot,” Rennie said. “I think he’ll realize the level of play at the highest levels in Europe is very, very high, and that the standard of training is very high. You need to be ready to train hard every single day.“He’s a young player -- he still has a lot of physical development to do and a lot of development as a player to do, but he definitely has the raw talents and materials to be a very good player.”Now, the aim for Salgado is to continue to push on and impress Rennie enough to play a bigger role for Vancouver next season, where he played only 504 minutes over 14 MLS matches in his debut season.“I think it will be a new start for me,” Salgado said. “I think I’ll be a new player. These experiences really helped me a lot and I feel like I grew up a lot more and I’m more mature. I hope I start out well and that I play a lot more than last season, and if not I’ll keep being patient and hopefully show what I can do when I get picked.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
