Gustav Berggren signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gustav Berggren and New York Red Bulls agree another 4 years.

New York Red Bulls buy the years ahead of Brenden Turner
He is 14, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

A long bet from New York Red Bulls on Paul Wright
He is 16, 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 Luca Brooks, one for the future
Luca Brooks is 16, 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.

Ethan Horvath dropped after a run of poor form

In brief
- Player ratings Emil Forsberg runs at them all day
