There are some excellent free players at the start of the game - I highly recommend Eduardo Costa a DMC - he is a Brazilian international and will be a free agent at the start of the game, he is about 26 and has very good stats. They even go up once he starts playing.
Steven Appiah is decent also a free agent but is injured at the start so you may need to wait
Also at New York and La Galaxy, you can sign Angel ST and Van Der Berg D/WB/ AM L (NY) Landon Donovan FC (L A) unfortunately wont arrive until Dec 1ST but their stats are good. I signed them all for Villa and Ajax and they play well. They are very good short term transfers for clubs without mega bucks.
Lastly although he is not free it appears the Raphael Van Der Vaart is always transfer listed by Real Madrid and you can pick him up for about £12/ £13 million and you can pay over 24 months A class act!!! and prob the best player on fm 08 !!!
