Busy, busy year.

Notes
Danilo Rios is now a DP at $1.7million/yr
Leumir is now a DP at $600k
Can't wait to dump Jarju after this season, though he hasn't been bad. 7.06, 7.15 and a 7.07, scored 10, 11 and 10 goals.
Excited for my Brazilian stud to join the team now that he's 18. Expecting big things up top from him.
Also have a potential star at GK coming in from Costa Rica (18 y.o) to push Leo.

Oh, and how did I forget to mention the board announcing that Vancouver Stadium is being built? $91million for just shy of 28,000 seats...

Bump in the road, or a sign of things to come?

MLS Cup- defeated by Seattle 4-1 in Western Semis.
NCC- champs over TFC on penalties
CSC- champs over Ottawa
CCL- lost in the final to Seattle, 2-1 on agg.
Current CCL- semis...against Seattle. Should note that only one Mexican team (Chivas) made it out of the groups, 4 MLS, 1 from Guatemala and 2!!! from El Salvador

League stuff:
MVP- Matias Alustiza with a 7.52
GB- Alustiza with 22 in 29

Luca Caldirola $0
Johnny Segovia (NG) $0

Transfers out: $240,000
Zach Herrera (draft from last year)
Brian Sylvestre (Orebro) for a friendly
Frank Baker (NG signed first season)
Adam Street
Jay DeMerit (Hearts) $240k retiring in six months' time

Best Player:
Edmundo Zambrano (stud NG defender) with a 7.37
Worst Player:
Danilo Ferreira with a 6.76. May never fully recover from his knee injury...

Notes:
New Stadium just finished. Put the club in debt pretty much the entire year.
Already dumped Jhon Pirez and Omar Salgado to MLS squads as I gear up for the new season...and welcome a 5-star Brazilian striker to the fold. Centerbacks were disappointing last year. Coaches already want me to play IDR ahead of Leo at GK...tough call. Want to keep Leo happy long enough to play for Canada in 2016. Interested to see how much longer I can keep hold of Zambrano. 12 caps for Ecuador and he's only 19...
