Squad

A one-man rearguard from John McCarthy

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Robert Voloder signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Robert Voloder and New York Red Bulls agree another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at New York Red Bulls

Robert Voloder was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Mohammed Sofo’s goal not enough for New York Red Bulls

Mohammed Sofo scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Orlando City, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Words at New York Red Bulls training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Cade Cowell is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

24 months and counting on John McCarthy

Still no offer on the table, and John McCarthy’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Market

New York Red Bulls sign Tyler Reyna, one for the future

Tyler Reyna is 14, and New York Red Bulls have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

A long bet from New York Red Bulls on Aaron Turner

He is 14, and nobody at New York Red Bulls signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

New York Red Bulls sign Ryan Johnson, one for the future

Ryan Johnson is 14, and New York Red Bulls have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
