Wasnt Kemal pushing for a move for years? And he didnt last long in Belgium and has been meh in Toronto. Taxi isnt a great example of a player RBNY should have done more for.
Yeah he was, along with Murillo. Kemar's case is a little complicated, and as much bad timing as anything. He had just signed a new contract the year before MLS started to let teams spend TAM on defenders. At the time his was one of the best MLS defenders really got, not far from the max cap hit. Then suddenly Parker and Long are being paid nearly twice what he is, but Red Bull wasn't inclined to restructure a contract they just signed. Especially since by some accounts Kemar was a difficult guy to work with.
Although I will say its a little bit of playing captain hindsight to point to his struggles in Europe and Toronto. He was still at his peak when he left NY, I personally had hoped at the time they would give him a raise.
