Marc Dos Santos, probably the best-dressed sideline coach in the NASL, has pulled his magician’s hat out of the wardrobe in a bid to find and steal a high-level player at a bargain price.

There can be no hiding the obvious. The Ottawa Fury needs to score goals and must attract someone to put away enough of the chances being created. That is the most glaring deficiency in a team that has lost four games in a row going into Saturday afternoon’s game against the Tampa Bay Rowdies at TD Place.

Dos Santos doesn’t attempt to hide the fact he is on the hunt for someone to strengthen his strike force. He is eyeing Europe for a player he can bring in during the break between the spring and fall seasons in June.

It’s not easy to find what is wanted here, especially on a limited budget. The New York Cosmos has spent big money to draw in older stars – men like Kaka, the star of last weekend’s Cosmos 1-0 win over the Fury. And Minnesota United is building itself into an MLS club, having recently won a franchise to the top league. So it is not afraid to splash a little cash.
