The 21-year-old Liberian national team player is awaiting work papers, and will count as a youth international. "He's a forward, and will probably play some version of an attacking player," Arena said. "The little we've seen of him, he's shown well. He's good around the goal, got good pace, he can hold the ball. He'll be a good complement to have." Doe - built like a cornerback - had a goal and two assists in last Thursday's 6-1 scrimmage win against the Long Island Rough Riders. He has three caps for Liberia and had six goals in 2005/06 for Greek club Atromitos, with whom he faced Sevilla in the UEFA Cup last year. "They were trying to get me over in January, but I was playing in the UEFA Cup, so I never had time to come. I was having problems leaving my team," said Doe. "I play forward, and on the right wing. [Arena] was pleased with me, but I'll try to do better. He wants to see some goal-scoring, that's what he said." Argentine power Boca Juniors and English Premier League team Watford had also shown interest, and he'd been on trial with Dallas.
