The summer transfer window is around the corner, and it's time to dream a little...
Midsummer is prime mating season for Europe's elder statesmen who are looking for one last ride and Major League Soccer clubs that want to boost their first choice lineup as well as their brand. MLS obviously isn't anywhere near profitable enough to be purchasing many, if any, players out of Europe, so the best way to extract a big name from overseas to America's top flight is to scoop them up on a free transfer.
The players that are targeted are, typically - though hopefully that's changing with the likes of Sebastian Giovinco and Giovani Dos Santos buying one-way tickets to the USA - past-their-prime players whose name weighs more than their actual ability.
