This morning, Robbie Savage turned down a move to the Vancouver Whitecaps - citing family concerns as his reason for the decline.
Never mind that the chatter on Twitter (here and here) that got so much press attention seemed more like negotiating a tactic with Derby County than proclaiming his love for Vancouver. And never mind that when It's Called Football spoke to the Whitecaps' Director of Soccer Operations Tom Soehn last week he hardly seemed impressed with Savage as a target. And never mind that Vancouver is already flush at the midfield position, that this isn't the year 2000 and Savage is no longer the force he once was.

Vancouver may have targeted him for a time but make no mistake Robbie Savage was never coming to the Whitecaps.
And that's a good thing. MLS doesn't need another aging footballer looking to launch his media career and they certainly don't need the ego that goes with it.
