Following players are available on free agents, and worth a look as DPs or high end salary players. I mainly follow EPL, so I don't know who else is available in Europe :p
At this point, I don't see harm in offering a short term DP contract to many of these players. If they turn out good, offer them a longer contract at the end of the season.
Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (30 yrs old)
-Dutch international target man striker with good scoring pedigree has been linked to several EPL teams, but still hasn't signed with anyone yet. Last club, Celtic
Andy van der Meyde (29 yrs old)
-Flamboyant Dutch international winger's career has severely dropped since leaving Inter for Everton. Apparently is a bit of attitude problem, but his credentials are pretty damn good, if you're an MLS team.
Lucas Neill (31 yrs old)
-Hardnosed Australian international who mainly plays right back, but can also play CB. Determined, with leadership ability. Is Australia's captain, and has also captained West Ham.
Antoine Sibierski (35 yrs old)
-A bit on the old side, and would be just a short term signing. I really wouldn't consider Sibierski a DP material, but an attacking midfielder who can also play 2nd striker and has played mostly in Ligue 1 and EPL in his career.
Ricardo Rocha (30 yrs old)
-Portuguese international CB who has been ever present for Benfica, but since joining Tottenham, his career has been on a downward spiral.
David Connolly (32 yrs old)
-A journeyman Irish international striker with a decent scoring record. Has plenty of Championship and some EPL experience. Not quite DP material, but worth a look.
Sol Campbell (34 yrs old)
-Former Arsenal, Tottenham and England international centreback. Has lost a lot of pace, but still has most of other traits that made him one of the best defenders in EPL for many years.
Lauren (32 yrs old)
-Former Arsenal, Portsmouth and Cameroon international. Normally plays RB, but can also play RW. Was integral to Arsenal's defence for many years.
Jerome Thomas (26 yrs old)
-Arsenal youth academy product and former Charlton and Portsmouth LW. Has ability to create some magic from the wings. Not really DP material, but another player worth a look
Moritz Volz (26 yrs old)
-Former German U21 RB who also played for Fulham. Arsenal youth academy product. Very versatile and can play all 3 defensive positions, and RW, though he prefers RB.
