DP worthy striker available on free transfer now?

[Yohan]

Anyone got names of STRIKERS out of contract, or probably can be released by their current club on mutual termination that are worthy of DP contract? And MLS has realistic chance of signing

Just trying to see who's available now...

[MartinUtd]

JERMAINE BECKFORD

actually he's still on contract, just up for transfer

[Stryker]

Micheal Owen. Out of contract. Salary is 4-6 million a year.
Im sure we could outbid Manchester City.

[Yohan]

hmm... i should have wrote 'strikers with realistic chance of coming to MLS' :p

[pppperkins]

Leroy Lita ..formerly fake hoops Reading is avail

[Yohan]

JERMAINE BECKFORD

you fail for not being able to follow OP:o

JERMAINE BECKFORD

99.9% won't happen. I've read news that he's subject of a £2 million bid by Barnsley and a similar one by another team, forget which one.

I'm quite sure we wouldn't have to, however Owen would be the last guy we want playing on our plastic pitch.

£3 million by Newcastle as the rumour goes.

And I wasn't trying to follow the OP, just insert Beckford's name wherever possible

[Stryker]

Theres gotta be a few good players in Primera Mexico who would be willing to play for us.

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

JDG?...is he not out of contract?

[Yohan]

JDG?...is he not out of contract?
I said striker :cool:

[Ossington Mental Youth]

JDG?...is he not out of contract?

hes said about a billion times at the start of the season hes not done in Europe (it was in every paper and i swear there were 3 threads in this place as well)

[brad]

Do we actually have the cap space to add a DP right now?

TBH, I worry more about our depth right now than signing a DP. We had two keepers on the bench on Saturday, and when we were chasing a game, we had to replace a striker with defender who had never played in the MLS before.

[zeelaw]

We don't need one we got

There is ALOT of them this is just ENG and SCO

next time look at what your posting...stuart pierce-man city...he's retired...this is a post from 2002

[Candu_88]

Leroy Lita ..formerly fake hoops Reading is avail

Lita was a key player for RFC in 2006 when the set the highest point total ever achieved by any team England. Would be a good fit for TFC.

Send the TFC scouts to the Reading academy. Alex Pearce (central defender), Simon Church (striker), James Henry (right winger) would all be great additions to TFC.

BTW, RFC have been wearing those so called Royal blue and white fake hoops since 1871.

My mistake :o

The Goal.com link is good

[MrHawk]

The Bosko Balaban theory is gone.

He signed to Greece Panoinons or however you spell it.

[InTheCrowd]

Ok so worth DP contract and can realistically be signed by MLS.

Darius Vassell
Boudewijn Zenden

[Yohan]

strikers, people

[Baggio2TFC]

I have said this before and i will say this again...I just have this feeling about panucci coming to TFC..just a feeling, something tells me Mo wants to add some Italian flare(not Lombardo) to the line up.

I would be thrilled though if we could get Di Vaio!!! I would settle for Simone Inzaghi though...not his brother, but still a good striker.

just my 2 cents.

[Don Julio]

I was just thinking about Vassell the other day.. He's on in age but still has wheels. Not an incredible strike rate in the epl, but I'm sure he could do the business here.

[InTheCrowd]

There are many free agent strikers who we could sign on a non DP salary.

[Merlin]

David Healy.

[jloome]

There's a ton on my fairly large list of players I've tried over the last year to scout info on, but it's at home, Yo, so you get to wait at least two hours before mocking it.

he's 36. :confused:

[twistedchinaman]

What about the bane of Montreal's existence -- DARWIN QUINTERO of Santos Laguna?

He's with a club so there's no way we could afford him.

[Baggio2TFC]

Your right, he may be 36, but would anchor this team on D and help out a ton!! Heck, I've watched him this year and he could play atleast 3-4 more years easy.

Hey, look at Maldini...could still play if he wanted!

Kleber Boas has been at Santos since 2007, so he might well be available on a free and his scoring record in the latter of his career has been pretty ungodly:

This guy might/MIGHT be a cheap DP, i.e. $600,000 a year or so:

Liedson Da Silva is out of contract at Sporting. He loves the club and probably wouldn't leave, but at least we could save the transfer fee:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li%C3%A9dson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li%C3%A9dson)

Well, he's not DP worthy but he'd do well in MLS: Danny North, Grimsby.

We just missed out on this guy, who would kill MLS (like, 20 a season, an older Montero) because he signed on a free for another egpytian team last month:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavio_Amado (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavio_Amado)


AS would this guy, Sergey Samodin, and he may be on a free this year ( if you count back, he signed in 2006):

This guy's a good gamble, given his phenomenal strike rate, albeit at international level and only one year of pro:Oleksiy Antonov.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksiy_Antonov (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksiy_Antonov)


This guy's had a goal-every-two-games record since converting to striker in the Ukrainian premier league, from midfield.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marko_Devic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marko_Devic)


This guy's probably a good MLS fit; He was Shevchenko's replacement at Kyiv.

And this guy, whom I recommended last year, has since signed on a free transfer with Sao Paolo.

Ah well. We could've given him a multimillion dollar retirement package, he could've given us 20 goals.

Oh Washington! We could've totally nabbed him when he was leaving Japan.
