There are two, maybe three players on that list that I would want on United.

That 3-man back-line would get scorched! As central defenders in a 4-4-2, those guys are quality, but in the voted-on 3-5-2, they'd probably suck :-)
Heck of a midfield though.

There are 4 on that list we have passed on in the past.

Mexico international striker Antonio de Nigris has died at the age of 31 from a suspected heart attack.
The former Villarreal player, who was capped 16 times by his country, was rushed to hospital in the early hours of Monday morning but was pronounced dead on arrival, his Greek club Larissa confirmed in a statement.
De Nigris joined Larissa in the summer from Turkish side Ankaragucu, making six appearances.

Where are the DC United players? haha just kidding we were awful this yr. I would maybe argue Namoff deserved to be mentioned but you can't argue against those defenders.
