re: 2018/2019 Transfer Thread

Red Bull can still decline the offer even if MLS wants to sell

MLS getting in bed with them will let RB do whatever bc the league needs the money

United is a self marketing machine

It’s a bit different than being owned by an energy drink and using multiple clubs to expand the company empire

DS is probably dying inside that he can't post in this thread right now.

Then good luck getting future players to sign with you.

I should have phrased it better.

MLS is certainly within their rights to sell Adams to whichever club offers the most (provided Adams agrees, of course). They could certainly accept a higher offer from a non-Red Bull affiliated club, but I certainly wouldn’t expect that to happen. Why would they piss off one of their bigger investors for a few extra million dollars? I’d be shocked if that happened.

If Leipzig wants him, that’s where he’ll transfer. Same for Jesse Marsch. It would be great to see an American coach in the Bundesliga, and Marsch is one of the best right now. Maybe he’ll start at Salzburg first.

And I disagree, SCH. I think Red Bull would sell the team for the right (high) price. It’s been rumored for a while. The new stadium, excellent academy setup, and massive media market in the NYC area would fetch the team a very high price on the market by MLS standards. Rocco Commisso wants a D1 team in New York, and that won’t be his Cosmos anytime soon. It wouldn’t surprise me if he eventually gets tired of suing the USSF and just buys NYRB to get what he wants. MLS would have to approve, of course, but money wouldn’t be an issue if Rocco ever decides to do that. He’s got billions.

For all the great stuff NYRB does on the field, they are cheapskates off the field, which is a big part of why NYCFC was born to better capture the NYC market. Red Bull barely spends any money marketing the team, even in Jersey. I think they would sell if the right buyer came along. Or maybe one day MLS will just buy the team (like Chivas USA) and sell it to someone else. We’ll see.

NYCFC is pretty much the same scenario as Red Bull with transfers

Already did with it with Jack Harrison

They turned down the Stoke offer just to sell him to the club that owns them.

That’s not free market

MLS definitely isn’t free market

thank God

send him back to Belgium, he’ll look good in a Standard Liege kit

Daryl Morey thought he could build a team to beat these guys in a series by putting all his chips on offense

come on son
