It'll never happen, but...

Seriously, if anyone in "RSL FO-land" sees this, please take a good long look at Shane Smeltz out of the Australian A-League. I know he'd probably cost a bit more than the team would like to spend, but the man has a $277,234.76 (A$300,000) buy-out clause in his contract. 6' 1" striker, 28 years old, and will get great experience playing in the World Cup this summer (with the Kiwis), and has 19 goals in 21 games this current season. Yes, 19. If RSL upgraded from Yura "Can't Hit The Broad Side Of A Barn" Movsisyan to this man...wow. 10-15 goals a year in MLS, no doubt in my mind, he's that good. Unfortunately, it looks like he's getting some interest from China and possibly Scandinavia, so a move would have to be made sooner rather than later. Would he come? Hard to say. But you don't know until you ask...
