    Assasin!!! Whitecaps looking for a striker

    or two.
    "We lacked a goal scorer. We had plenty of players who could score goals. For us to only score 42 goals as a team and still make the playoffs is a fantastic achievement, but if we had someone who could score 15, 20, 30 goals then we'd be a totally different proposition. And that's what we've got to try and do."

    I wonder what that means for Mattocks??? .......Will he be traded or left unprotected for the expansion draft??? ......Would the Timbers & Porter try to get him???

      Orlando City is looking for goalkeepers, so they could make a bid/move for Andre Blake.

        yeah, Mattocks needs a change of scenery.

            Your slant..your take-away is a part of the story. I guess I should have spelt out where my emphasis was?

            Anyway - Here is what I was asking to be considered - Mattocks is one of our players with tremendous potential! One of our many talented youngsters -(Aaah, time! It moves along so damn fast? Youngster...? Aaaah, sah? ~ sigh!) - and one considered to have all the physical attributes to have his talent developed to top quality striker-footballer. ...but you may remember comments were made on what he lacked and reason why he was 'so lacking'?

            The guy still has all the physical attributes - his talent is obvious. His potential for development to top quality striker is still evident.

            You are - The Massive is - being asked by my previous post and now this post also to think on - Why with all his physical attributes and his obvious talent is his production being questioned? ...why is he being considered 'raw talent'...underdeveloped player?

            A dat mi dida hask!!!

              So they didn't know he was "raw" and "underdeveloped" when they bought him???

              What have they done over the past few years???? Last year they say he was playing what you call TEAM. earlier in the season they said he was playing "unbelievable TEAM" with a lot of assists. So what is the problem Karl?

                That is what they said.
                I saw otherwise and expressed the wish that he 'jumped onto TEAM (concept and actions) fast'.

                The question is, who were 'they' who made such statements and what were the motives behind same?

                  Ok. Much clearer. So it is not his returns but rather why the returns are the way they are given his talents?

                  And that is a DAMN GOOD QUESTION.

                  I suspect that it is technical. Training a certain way from a young age makes something's reflexive. I suspect that is the missing ingredient. Some things that could have been instinctive are not instinctive

                      Like deferring to TEAMMATE when not as well placed.= Needs to step up on/set up on TEAMplay!

                      Would you believe that playing more TEAM gets a striker (and all TEAMmates) more good looks on goal? ...allows for better TEAM(play) and more rewarding TEAM results!!!! It is his tactical deficiency that is his problem. He needs to use 'brain' properly more often.

                      Observe, find solutions and execute...make 'right decisions'. - Determine when to shoot and when not to! When to hold and when to fold (pass). How to move on support and to provide self as pass outlet. [Has much to learn defensively also but we are focused on attack(ing) so we skip his work on defense].

                        Needs to be selfish in the name the TEAM?
