Soccer Talk with Tyler Green and Simon Fudge is back for 2016 with a January 5th edition - presented by Metrotown Orthopedic & Sports Physiotherapy and Destination Mazda, as they broadcast from the Barber and Co studios.

This week, Tyler and Simon discuss new Whitecaps signing Masato Kudo, the impending returning of Cristian ‘The Bug’ Techera, and other potential offseason moves. This year’s MLS SuperDraft takes place next week. Does Carl Robinson have an eye on another ‘Tim Parker’-like selection?

There is talk about recent events around MLS. Have Montreal Impact fans already seen the last of Didier Drogba? Are traditional powerhouse LA Galaxy a more diminished force after seeing Omar Gonzalez leave for Mexico this offseason.

Tyler and Simon also discuss the high-profile managerial merry-go-around in Europe. Where will Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola end up next? Can Zinedine Zidane emulate his illustrious playing career in the coaching world after taking over at Real Madrid this week?

All that and more on the first 2016 version of Soccer Talk!
