As December rolls on, rumors begin to heat up about the new acquisitions Major League Soccer teams will be making in the January transfer window (or prior on free). Without even playing a game yet, Atlanta United FC have stolen many of the headlines, spending 8.5 million to acquire 22-year-old Paraguayan Miguel Almiron, and the expected arrival of 30-year-old Mexican Andres Guardado in January. Although the Vancouver Whitecaps have been silent on anything official, that has not stopped the rumor mill from swirling.
Probably the most obvious of positional needs on the Vancouver Whitecaps (okay there are a few) is striker.
