Altidore returns to MLS after playing for Villarreal, Xerez (on loan), Hull City (on loan), Bursaspor (on loan), AZ Alkmaar and Sunderland, an impressive haul of stops for a player who is only 25 years old. After scoring 39 times in 67 appearances for AZ, Altidore scored just once in 42 Premier League appearances for the Black Cats, most of the bench of late due to his scoring struggles.

Diskerud arrives on a free transfer after his contract with Rosenborg in Norway ended.

It is believed that he was not signed as a designated player, like David Villa and Frank Lampard, which means the club could have another big signing before the season begins.Fantasy Analysis
