So since its a cold and rainy saturday and I'm bored I decided to compile a list of players I think TFC should look at this offseason. I'm not saying they should sign all these players and I know there are probably better players that aren't Canadian available, the reality is we need to sign some Canadians. I'm also not saying that all of these are realistic and they would require some of the players to be released. It's a lot easier to predict Canadian signings then any other signing because we're working with a limited player pool. So here is my list and explanations on why.

Rhian Dodds – 29 – Midfielder – He’s played for Kilmarnock since 2003, this year he’s been loaned to Dundee, the same team as Chris Pozniak. His contract runs out in December. He would be no better than Kevin Harmse or Chris Pozniak in my opinion but at a low enough salary could be a serviceable player off the bench.

Jaime Peters – 21 – Midfielder/Winger – He’s played for Ipswich since 2005 appearing over 30 times. His progress has stalled and he was loaned to Yeovil last year. He hasn’t been able to see 1st team football since the fall of 2007 and hasn’t started a game since the 2006-2007 season. If he is released by Ipswich in December look for TFC to sign him to a similar contract that of Johann Smith. If Johann Smith gets selected in the expansion draft then Peters would be a more than adequate replacement. He will most likely be loaned out rather than released by Ipswich.

Olivier Occean – 26 – Forward – He’s played in Norway since 2003 with Odd Grenland and now Lillestrom. He’s been one of Lillestrom’s better players but they’ve struggled this year in the standings and are at risk of relegation. If they get relegated Occean could possibly be released. If that’s the case TFC would face stiff competition to sign him as he is still popular in Norway. The likelihood of him being flat out released seems slim and a transfer fee would likely be required. He was drafted by New York in 2003 and Mo was on the staff so you’ve got to think that he’s familiar with him.

Marcus Haber-19-Forward – Played in Holland with FC Groningen since 2006, I’m not sure that he ever played for the first team. He was released and last I heard he was on trial at a bunch of League One and League Two teams, I don’t think he was successful in getting a contract. This would be a player TFC would sign to a developmental contract. He’s played for Canada at U-20 and U-23 levels.

Paul Stalteri -31- Defender – Most people know who he is, CMNT Captain, Tottenham Hotspur player. He’s from Toronto and used to play for the Lynx. Since Juande Ramos took over at Tottenham Stalteri hasn’t been able to get anywhere near 1st team football. Here’s a quote from an article on goal.com about how Ramos rates Stalteri:
“The players, including Ricardo Rocha, Kevin Prince-Boateng, Paul Stalteri, Adel Taarabt, Ben Alnwick and Hossam Ghaly have reportedly been told to train with the reserves until they find a new club because they have little or no chance of making the first team panel “
I know Stalteri hates the turf and he would likely have a fairly high salary, similar to Carl Robinson I would guess but he would be a good addition to the squad.

Keegan Ayre-20-Midfielder – Played for Hibernian reserves since 2005 but was released last year. He then went on trial to a couple other English teams, similar to Marcus Haber. I don’t think he signed a contract. Not sure that he’s even playing anymore or wants to play anymore so this is a complete guess. He played for the U-20 and U-23 teams. He would also only be worth signing to a developmental contract.

Adrian Serioux-29-Defender – FC Dallas player, obviously would have to be acquired via trade. Trading one of our 1st round draft picks (not the highest one) for him would be a worthwhile investment. A defender that has proved himself useful in this league and with the national team, he can play Centre Back and on the right. He’s also got a cannon of a throw-in.
