White man why....
Thomas, out of every single league he could play, decided to move to MLS and signed with Vancouver Whitecaps (never even heard of them before). Okay, I admit, I still had a little hope that maybe he'd decide to come sign to a Süper Lig team -- I mean, he'd still have the chance to play in the European championships! But MLS??? Really?
I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, and say that he still viewed our league as more challenging than MLS (and that would be true). I remember that Reus also moved to MLS, and considering Messi and co. also signed with Inter Miami, it's apparent that self-respecting footballers who don't want to go for the oil money decide to move to US instead.
I wish him the best, of course. But it will always be an unfullfilled wish in my heart to see him play live. 😞

It's so strange to see him in another team's jersey, but at least they gave him #13.
