VANCOUVER, BC – When Vancouver Whitecaps FC acquired Anthony Blondell back in November, Carl Robinson referenced Kei Kamara – still a member of New England Revolution at the time – when answering a question about Blondell’s qualities.
“I think the league is set up that you need to have power,” Robinson said at the time. “You need to be aggressive. You look at the successful centre forwards this league, the Kei Kamaras, the Fanendo Adis, people like that. They’re obviously built a certain way.”
So it wasn’t a big surprise when the ‘Caps acquired Kamara a few weeks later.
