It’s been a busy transfer window so far for the Whitecaps. Not since Martin Rennie’s complete overhaul in the summer of 2012, have we seen this many transactions made within an MLS season. So you don’t lose track, I’ve compiled all of the Caps transactions within this window to date.

In

Marcel de Jong (free from Ottawa) David Edgar (free from Birmingham) Alphonso Davies (promoted from WFC2) Giles Barnes (trade from Houston) Fabian Espindola (trade from DC United)

Out

Octavio Rivero (transfer to Colo-Colo) Sam Adekugbe (loan to Brighton) Fabian Espindola (transfer to Necaxa)

If we ignore the Espindola moves, the Caps have added 4 new players, while only removing 2 – placing them 2 players over the MLS roster limit of 28. But according to Central American news outlets, we could see 2 more subtractions announced soon.

On their way out are Jordan Smith and Deiby Flores. Both players will be re-joining the same clubs that they left the Caps for last year.

As reported by TDMás in Costa Rica, with Smith’s loan expiring at the end of the season, the Caps have declined to exercise their purchase option of the player. He’ll return to Deportivo Saprissa of the Costa Rican Primera División.

Update: Saprissa’s President denies previous reports, says Smith will see out his loan till the end of the season.

Diez Diario of Honduras reports, Flores will be returning to CD Motagua of the Honduran Liga Nacional, on what appears to be an unspecified loan of some sorts. The article states that Flores needs the playing time for his development, that he’s not seeing with either of the Caps first or second teams.

Both Smith and Flores have been universally derided by Caps supporters for their lack of quality – neither really looking up to MLS levels. Their departures will also both free up International spots, giving the Caps 3 free spots in total. It’ll be interesting to see what, if anything, the Caps do with those free spots. Could there be even more moves yet to come?
