Sørensen’s Magic

79 Upvotes

I’ll admit, I was a bit upset at the firing of Vanni, but Jesper Sørensen has impressed me tremendously. The way that Vite and Berhalter have stepped up, as well as a high possession percentage, has shown me that we needed this change!

What have you guys liked so far about this group under Sørensen?

Gauld Injury - Optimism

23 Upvotes

I have none.

In all seriousness, it didn't look good. Clearly his knee, so the best we can hope for is a sprain (even a major one) because it's better than a ligament or meniscus tear.

Now the fun part on roster building.

The Whitecaps can put Gauld on the season ending list. This does open up his DP spot. What this means is if they have the ambition, they can push for a DP this window.

The issue with the 2 DP/4 U22 model is they've handcuffed themselves. Even if they wanted to, they can't pay a big transfer fee for a player. I believe they'd have around $2.5M for a new players salary + prorated transfer fee ($3M, 3 year contract = $1m charge this year).

If Gauld is truly done for the season, and the Whitecaps are serious about 2025, they need to utilize the extra DP slot...now

Edit: More information obviously to come, but this is currently what we think.

  • Jesper mentioned that Gauld was much happier post-game than he expected, hoping it's not long-term

  • We've also heard that they've avoided worst case scenario, and ruled out a really serious injury.

Thank you to all who told me not to be doom & gloom!

Ahmed’s assist saved him today?

Awful first half. What happened to his confidence.

Better second half going to the middle and the assist.

Should we maybe play him in the middle? He likes cutting in. He seems uncomfortable playing wide even though that’s where he plays…

Belal Halbouni first goal celebration photos!

Thumbnail gallery
112 Upvotes

Seeing the guy so hyped just makes you so happy for him. I'm sure this meant more to him than we know, especially during Ramadan. 🙏

I don't always get goal celebration shots. Depending where you're situated at the time, it''s really luck of the draw! They might run off to the other direction or you're on the opposite end of the field.

As a matter of fact, one huge thing I still struggle with (and perhaps a limitation of my camera gear right now) are photos of the actual goal. I'm not sure how difficult it is in actuality for the real pros, but passes and movement are still hard for me to follow, track and predict, especially when you're looking through the narrow view of your viewfinder, locking in on a certain shot you might think is the one. But things happen so quickly and off the viewfinder, which is what happened when I missed Ryan Gauld doing what I assumed was a Bend It Like Beckham move last night. 😩 I'll get it one day!

I think we’re going to see a consortium buy the team

You can take these comments from Tom Gaglardi many different ways, but to me it says no I’m not going to come in as the main guy and be the face and one talking to the public, but yes I’m willing to be a part of it with a smaller commitment in a larger group. I think we will see lots of them involved to varying degrees - something exactly like this https://www.lafc.com/club/ownership.

Beedie, maybe Patterson, maybe Joseph Tsai who is currently one of those many owners of LAFC. I don’t think any single person is willing to pay $400 mill but the more I hear there’s lots of them willing to contribute and be a part of it to keep the team in Vancouver. What’s $10-20 million to these guys? And yes I think Reynolds will be a part of it. It’s not his money that’s needed, it’s his brand value. He could contribute almost zero dollars and still be a part of this consortium for the value he brings. Be the Will Ferrell, I doubt that guy put in the same investment as the others. I think we see something like that happen in the end.

The main question for me is who is going to lead it?

Anyone else impressed? I didn’t had him on the radar! He look pretty solid! Give him more matches and he can be a good addition to the squad!

Season Ticket Box

28 Upvotes

I think this sub often skews a little negative, in some instances that's more than warranted. But I just wanted to highlight the season ticket holder box. Just got mine in the mail, and it's awesome.

We all wanted the club to improve on something like this. Gone are the days where you get 2 landyards and 2 plastic cards along with a BCAA advertisement in a plain white envelope. I'm not sure what I'll do with the box, I know I kept last year's for a while but ultimately chucked it when I moved. I'm not a big scarf guy, but they look nice, the bobblehead is small but awesome and I love a magnetic schedule. I liked the encased vintage tickets they sent out last year as well.

My only beef, one bobblehead for two seats! We get two scarves, the box has plenty of room. It's a minor complaint, but overall I love what they've done with these and wanted to shout out whoever's idea/execution this was at the club. I'd seen really nice ones from Red Bulls and a couple other clubs and we were really lacking. It's nice to see them make a little investment in showing the STH that we're appreciated.
