According to Vancouver Sun reporter Bruce Constantineau, Vancouver has signed French striker Eric Hassli. Click Here for Bruce's Article.
At 6'4, the large target striker should fit in well with the 'Caps, who have been dying for a big man to bring the ball down in the opposition's final third, since the departure of Charles Gbeke. While in Zurich he amassed 27 goals in 84 games, and that is nothing to scoff at. Unfortunately those 84 games have been between 2007 and yesterday. He's had to deal with a few nagging injuries but appears to be in good health once more.
He has apparently signed a 4 year contract with the club and will be released before the summer transfer window in appreciation of his many years of service to FC Zurich.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Tom Soehn is still in Europe and the rumours have be swirling about who the 'Caps will bring in next. Word on the street is that Vancouver are currently in talks with Swiss National captain Alexander Frei and Everton goal poacher Louis Saha.
How ridiculous would it be to have either of those two suiting up for the Blue and White next season?
