He probably already thinks he's hot shit for playing on the mediocre USMNT.

Watch him get sold now for some low-ball figure or request a move away.


A few years ago he was playing in the USL. Now, hes captaining they US National team. Damn right to feel good about himself.


The New York Red Bulls previously kicked around Major League Soccer as the MetroStars with limited success. But after transforming under a new banner in 2005, the Red Bulls have become a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. The club has made leaps of progress since its previous incarnation and now has its focus on bringing the league title to New York.

This team would be in trouble if Long left... And Long might know now that he can force his way out like Taxi did. 

 

Tarek is not a replacement.  I like him, but that dude would get exposed big time with regular minutes at CB.

He would be smart to do so. The ship is sinking fast.

No chatter of a West Ham move today yet, here or abroad.

WHUFC bought a striker for a lot of money from Hull.

Long, 27, declined to address his club situation and, while there is a sense the 2018 MLS Defender of the Year has progressed as much as he could in New York, he also seems at peace with the possibility of remaining with the MLS side.

 

"There's plenty more for me to achieve at the level I'm at now, for sure," he said. "While I'm here, I have to set my goals as high as I can set them."

 

 

"I know that I'm one of those guys that's definitely gonna have to fill some big shoes and take even more of a leadership role on the team," he said at the U.S. team hotel. "I guess when I get there, I'll see how big those shoes are and what I need to do and kind of assess that situation. But I know what's coming and I know that big things are going to be asked of me for sure."

Perhaps he is exceptional enough to not completely suck this season, after all?

Give him the armband

and trade him next year or off season.

He should be captain if he stays (is anyone else left????....)

Only makes sense for Long to get it, so in Red Bull tradition, it will go to Muyl.

the failure of Miazga to make the EPL may have lowered the perception and thus value of RBNY players. If Matt had developed into a Chelsea regular, or a first-teamer at any EPL club, perhaps Long would already be in England.


Another injury for Miazga:

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

So .. window's closed.  

(unexpectedly) keeping Long is more or less like signing an international starting CB.  /s
