Forward Targets Finally Revealed

By: Dave Martinez | August 22nd, 2008

Brian Lewis of the New York Post always seems to have the scoop. And this week is no different.

For those who have been asking, here is the dealio:

- The Atlanta Silverbacks are still asking for the absurd transfer fee of 200k for their elite forward, Macoumba Kanji (just a side note – his first name is pronounced the same way as an ancient Brazilian voodoo practice). And Osorio seems to be trying to meet that offer. Kanji is regarded by many as a major prospect who should be seeing opportunities arise across the pond very soon. If the Bulls could lock this beast man to a 2 year contract or so, I would be all for it. No one would be able to cover him and Angel up top.

- How about Dominic Oduro? Again, a great speedster up top to compliment Angel, but does he have the finishing skill we are looking for? Though Oduro has enjoyed a bit of success this season, I have found his play to be a bit on the enigmatic side. But if his current form would be the norm, then it would be a tremendous jolt for the team.

- Finally, we take our sights to Colorado and Omar Cummings. With the current state of flux with the Rapids, Cummings potential move is up in the air really. Besides, Oduro would be a much more ideal and game ready option.

The domestic transfer window ends mid September. Are these moves enough to get you excited? Will it be enough to challenge for a better playoff berth (currently, the Bulls stand 8th overall)?
