And then there were two. With the departure of Octavio Rivero the Whitecaps have only two healthy strikers left to field.
It's official. Octavio Rivero has been transferred to Club Social y Deportivo Colo-Colo in Chile for an undisclosed transfer fee and a percentage of any future transfer fees. On the radio today Coach Robinson said he felt Rivero's mind was somewhere else this season and moving him was good for both parties. Good for the Whitecaps because they need a more consistent scorer as a DP striker. We'll never know what was going on in Rivero's mind, although I had read he mentioned in a Spanish article that he missed the fervor of the South American fans.
