I hear Alessandro Nesta is going to sign with Toronto FC.
Not every day is Christmas.
It would be nice for the Caps, to get some depth in Defense, we are way to thin there.
We have so few defenders viturally only 5 of them in Lee, Bonjour, Demerit, Rochat and Harvey. As Mitchell and Klazura aren't looking to be getting any chances anytime soon.
I think we are pretty set up front right now, if Harris and Salgado can come back healthy, added to Miller, Camilo, Mattocks, and offense we will get from the Midfield now with Robson and Richards. Not to mention Koffie's odd runs from the deep lying midfield.
Davidson, Thorrington and Watson along with Nano and RT, should provide solid cover for them as well.
that's not even mentioning the possiblities of the youngsters making an impact in Clarke, Alderson, and possibly Fisk soon.
We will get a good look at what Knighton can bring, in lack of Cannon against RSL. Will be interesting what happens at GK after Cannon retires or I guess how's he's going you can still use 'If'.
But Defense always looks to be the Thinnest and most dire need of depth, the good play of them this year has overshadowed the fact its the same 5 guys every night, a long term injury or loss of form could undo the entire back 4 since there's virtually only one adjustment we can make.

Ah yes... Early, mid, late... It's all the same.
There was talk related to this article and Tuesday was mentioned specifically. Thought that link was better than 'I heard from this guy who....'
Anyways its 3.15, so I doubt its happening today anyways.
Let's get Attakora

Nana would be a good choice, he's athletic and good in the air, versatile too.
He turned down a contract from Union Berlin last I heard.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today the acquisition of centre back Andy O’Brien from English League Championship side Leeds United AFC - pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate and Visa. Per Major League Soccer and club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
“Andy is an experienced centre half, who is good in the air and comfortable on the ball,” said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. “He has spent several years in the English Premier League and with some of England’s best-known clubs. Andy also had the privilege of being at a World Cup. We’re delighted to add a defender of Andy’s experience to our squad.”
O’Brien, 33, comes to Whitecaps FC after spending a decade-and-a-half playing in England. The 6-foot-3, 165-pound centre back spent the last two seasons with Leeds United AFC, where he scored two goals in 38 appearances for the West Yorkshire outfit.
“I’m very grateful for the opportunity given to me by Vancouver Whitecaps FC,” said O’Brien. “I appreciate the hard work that’s been put in by Vancouver, given the short period of time there was to get this deal done. I’ve had the opportunity to look around the city, which is fantastic, and I’m really looking forward to contributing on and off the pitch.”
Colour me underwhelmed. But I hope to be proven wrong.
Starting to think Coach Rennie only picks players he watched on TV growing up.
aka, Bettermirror.
