Whitecaps extricate themselves from Jarju deal; club back at minimum Canadian standard 20 Jan 2012 On Friday, the club announced that it has been able to free itself from the Jarju deal by mutual consent. On a sadder note, the team also announced that Canadian Philippe Davies won’t be back with the club in 2011.
Three weeks after walking out on contract talks in Belgium, Jarju is Whitecaps’ new Designated Player 12 Jul 2011 What’s interesting is that just three weeks ago, Jarju had told Gambia’s Daily Observer that he was ready to sign a contract extension with Mons, and was looking forward to getting an EU passport. “I am keen to extend my stay with the team at least for one more season with the condition that they will help me secure a Belgian passport,” Jaru told the Observer on June 24. “I have spent five years in Belgium which now qualifies me for Belgian citizenship so it makes no sense to move to another country at the moment.”
