Going to be interesting to see how Columbus changes tactically. I'm assuming they will now switch to a 2 forward lineup with Manneh and Kamara up top.NEWS: #VWFC acquire Tony Tchani and $300,000 in allocation money from Columbus in exchange for Kekuta Manneh

Wow what the hell are they thinking in Whitecap land?
Edit: OK this is a little better deal for Vancouver than I thought. Sounds like he wasn't going to sign a long term deal with the caps.
"Whitecaps FC acquired midfielder Tony Tchani from Columbus Crew SC, $225,000 in Targeted Allocation Money, and $75,000 in General Allocation Money, in exchange for winger/forward Kekuta Manneh. In the event Crew SC signs Manneh to a new contract, then Vancouver will also receive Columbus' natural first round MLS SuperDraft selection in the immediately following draft. Furthermore, Whitecaps FC will receive additional General Allocation Money if Manneh is traded by Columbus prior to December 31, 2018 and Vancouver will retain a percentage of any future transfer fee if Manneh is transferred outside of MLS"
I also didn't even notice that Tchani had not made the 18 for Columbus all year.
