All I could find was he played(s) at Anderlecht and scored no goals in 2001/2002. He was born in 1980 and according to one site his contract doesn't expire until 2005. He's 6'2" and weighs 182lbs. The season before he was with Westerlo for half a season and scored 3 goals. The season before that 2000\2001 he started out with Harelbeke and scored 12 goals before moving on to Ghent were he didn't score. He also didn't score in either Uefa or Champions League play. For the 2002/2003 season he was loaned to La Louvière (another Belgian club) which only won 6 games last season (so he'd fit right in). La Louvière didn't show his name on the roster but I couldn't find an official site for the team.
At this point, I'd look at Abe Lincoln. Seriously, considering the salary structure and the utter lack of international respect for MLS, this guy reflects the caliber of international player we are likely to get at this point. Furthermore, MLS has improved to the point that it is ridiculous to think a player like this can come in and tear up the league, so we are still sunk, even if we get him or some other stiff who can't hack it in a low Euro league. IMHO.
i beg to differ Goff said United are still interested in a Nigerian striker who is playing in Europe. I believe Thompson is out of contract, and I understand United have already made an offer for him.
