Montero is far from the finished article, I just think his style and potential suits a European future. Chowie's just pointed out a Bristol City rumour and that could be a great springboard into European football. I personally think he'd be more suited to Italy but you just never know in football. Kevin - like CT, I'm not so sure on Jaqua. I think he works well as an attacking threat with Montero, Ljungberg and Zakuani, but he'd struggle in Europe's top flights. Connor - Maurice Edu is a) already in Europe and b) not an MLS player. Thanks all for your comments.

I live in Seattle and support the Sounders so I have had the opportunity to see him play every week, and I must say that after the first two games he died off. Once defences figured out he liked to dribble they closed him down quicker and he has been unable to do anything since. His problem is that he is too egotistical I think - he tries to do too much with the ball at his feet, most times passing up the opportunity to play a simple ball to his teammate and keep possession so he can try to skate his defender and ends up losing it. This has been a common occurrence for Montero the last few weeks. I hope he is in a slump right now and this will not be permanent but the way he plays now he is starting to become a non-factor for the Sounders, and even detrimental at times. To kevin, you are joking right? Nate Jaqua barely can keep up in the MLS and would get eaten alive in Europe. He has the height to do damage in the air but either doesn't win the ball or gets his head on it and sends it well wide of the target (or over the bar). He has no speed and almost no technical skill. He is a forward, paid to score goals, yet he has missed quite a few delectable opportunities in front of goal. Good article, not sure about Montero though.

Cooper definitely fits the bill but I wanted to share my thoughts on a few of the guys who don't often get listed in this type of thing. Thanks Chowie.
