Now Red Bull has an excuse they can throw out if asked why they couldn't sign someone like Xavi.

 

Except that's a pretty legitimate reason, and not an excuse. That's an obscene amount of money.

 

Now, why they can't find a player for $1M - $3M a year? That's a completely legitimate question and gripe.

They can.  They don't want to.

I'd like to think it's easier to add a player in the summer transfer window rather than the winter.

How many of you really expect a big summer signing?  Saying "oh just wait until summer" is a great way to deflect and keep false hopes alive.

We have 1 DP for crying out loud!  We gotta expect some sort of a summer signing.

Please buy some season tickets while you still can! That summer signing is coming, I promise.

Funny. But don't pick on Curtis about the lack of a signing.  We were given that summer signing is coming line back when Roxy was in charge.

A player? Yes. The question is, what kind of player?

we're a 2 game home losing streak from a sea of blue empty seats at RBA.   They may be forced to sign someone of some sort of stature this summer  just to keep the ship afloat .  You can bet that NYCFC will drop another big time player this summer

It took us four weeks into the season to win a game in 2013, and 6 weeks into 2014. The overall fan base is a little more patient than that.

I hear Brian Nielsen is a free agent. A lot of you newbies who are 100% sure a big summer signing is coming will like him. He represents synergy and is great in a salary cap league. Ton of value out of him.


Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me? Or indeed with wit to understand me?

I think a lot of us were at the NE playoff game in the Eastern Conference Finals.  That was the fullest I've ever seen RBA.  

 

My favorite part: It wasn't full because people wanted to see Thierry Henry, or another superstar, or European team.  It was full because the team was winning.  

 

If you win, people will come.
