Camilo in line for sensational Vancouver Whitecaps return

Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson has opened the door for a dramatic return for former striker Camilo Sanvezzo.

The Brazilian left Vancouver in January to join Mexican side Queretaro while still under contract with the Whitecaps but is being linked with a BC Place comeback.

When quizzed on the issue, Robinson was non-committal but certainly did not rule out the possibility of a sensational reappearance in British Columbia.

"It's difficult for me to talk about Camilo," Robinson told reporters on Monday.

"He's under contract at the moment to Querétaro. As far as I'm concerned at the moment, he is on the list, but he's one of a number of five or six players that are on a list of potential players.

"His name has been brought up, but I could give you another four names that I think would slightly intrigue you a little bit more."

Robinson added: "Whether it's Camilo or whoever, we need another option. It's to help and supplement the strength of what these [young] guys have.

"I've said all along that we need someone maybe that can score goals. We've got players that are able to score, but we haven't got a goal scorer. If that player becomes available then we'll certainly look at it."
