BTW, Happy Birthday Bento!

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Man... when I was 14... I was happy to be a starter in my HS soccer team. This kid must be jumping off walls.

This kid is several years younger than Adu was when he signed.     Ochoa (San Jose) and Slonina (Fire) have him beat (but only by days)

He's 31. I'm always amazed by his age.

is what it is.  They had to sign him because he had a Euro passport right to protect his value?  if he was blocking someone who needed a contract i would be up in arms more, but i dont think he is.

I get it but the club has bigger issues than someone sitting on the reserve part of the roster. RBNY has gotten good production out of that part of the squad, its the senior roster that is lacking.

So the issue is that a professional player isn't eligible to play at the academy level in the United States. However, according to someone with Red Bull since he has not played a professional match, he maintains eligibility.
