For the Vancouver Whitecaps, the end of 2020 was very quiet time. With no playoff matches and even less in the way of transfer news, there hasn’t been many topics for substantial Whitecaps conversation in quite a while. That being said, things are looking like they are about to change. Whether it’s closing in on potential player acquisitions, the challenges of another contested collective bargaining agreement, or the daunting possibility of another prolonged home-away-from-home stint in the United States, the soccer news cycle in Vancouver is about to heat up - and for that I am very thankful.
