Ali Ahmed's move from Vancouver Whitecaps FC to Norwich City is more than just a transfer - it's a defining moment for the club's identity.

On this episode of Soccer Talk, we break down what Ahmed's sale means from a 'Caps perspective: the development path to Europe, selling a player at peak value, and how Vancouver continues to position itself as a launching pad for Canadian talent. We also discuss the on-field impact of losing a versatile, high-motor player and what this move reveals about the club's roster planning and depth heading into a demanding stretch of the season.

Joined by cohost Simon Fudge and guest Asa Rehman, we examine how this transfer reflects on the growth of the Canadian player market, the Whitecaps' long-term vision, and what Ahmed's next step could mean for both Norwich and Canadian National Team.

Is this a clear development win for Whitecaps FC-or a moment that puts pressure on the club to prove they can replace and reinvest effectively? We dive into it all.
