Throw back to Juan Agudelo

Lets talk about a player who had a lot of potential while playing for New York. This player is Juan Agudelo. He played for Red Bulls professionally from 2010 – 2012 season. However, before playing on the professional team side, he started off at Red Bull Academy. Agudelo made a name for himself showing off his skills as he was at the academy. In 2010 he had signed professionally with New York. In a game against DC United which are the Red Bulls rivalry, Juan Agudelo had scored a goal that shocked many people because at the time Juan Agudelo was only a teenager but made a goal that only a few could make. It had set the bar that Juan Agudelo was a really great player for his age. His goal was compared to Red Bulls veteran Thierry Henry who had scored a similar goal back when Henry had played for Arsenal (England).

However, foolishly the Red Bulls had traded Juan Agudelo to Chivas U.S.A. back in 2012. Many say if he would of stayed at New York he would have been a great striker for New York and who knew what he could of brought. So overall, we see that even if you start at an academy or any soccer youth club and work hard you could potentially be as good or not better then Juan Agudelo and play professionally.

New York need to sign a big name player!!

The New York Red Bulls season has kicked off and so far they are in first place of the Eastern Conference. With two wins and one tie game, the Red Bulls are looking fantastic at the start of this season. However, this article will talk about my own opinion and why the Red Bulls need a well-known player to sign. Back in 2010 the Red Bulls had signed two big name players and they were Thierry Henry and Rafael Marquez who were both former FC Barcelona players. These two players brought a lot of fans to support Red Bulls and although Rafa Marquez did not make a lot contribution to the team, Thierry Henry certainly did. But both players’ no longer plays for the Red Bulls, Rafa Marquez went on to play in his home land of Mexico and Thierry Henry had retired from soccer (futbol). In my opinion the Red Bulls should of gone to the market and get some big name players to help the Red Bulls win the MLS Cup. Last season they had a great season and made it to the final Eastern conference playoffs. Of course with the help of Thierry Henry and the rest of the players they had a great season. Some believe that a big name player with a lot of experience will help the Red Bulls win the MLS cup. In some case it may be true, but someone with experience can be a great leader for the team just like Thierry Henry. Personally I would like to see Brazilian super star Ronaldinho who also is a former FC Barcelona player, but is currently playing in Mexico. Ronaldinho is a player with a lot of talent and if he were to be part of the Red Bulls he could definitely be a threat in the midfield. He is known for his dribbling skills and being able to make his opponents struggle to get the ball from him. Although Ronaldinho is getting old he still has a lot of talent to bring. Overall, any soccer player who has played in big name teams would be very helpful to the Red Bulls in the seasons. Leave a comment on what you think about a new signing and which big name player you would like to see play at Red Bull Arena.

Dane Richards Returns to Red Bull Arena.

Dane Richards With New York Red Bulls

    New York Red Bulls veteran Dane Richards has finally returned to New York. Dane Richards played with the New York Red Bulls back in 2007-2012. He is from Montego Bay, Jamaica, and was drafted by the Red Bulls in 2007. He attended Clemson University. Dane Richards played right midfielder while with the Red Bulls and was one of the fastest players during his time with the Red Bulls. Dane Richards was traded to Canadian team Vancouver Whitecaps in the summer of 2012 and had traveled to many teams such as Vancouver, Burney in England and Bodø/Glimt in the Norwegian First Division. But during the preseason of 2015 Dane Richards had come back to train with New York and was signed again to play for them. Many New York fans such as myself are very excited to see the Jamaican Midfielder make his return with the Red Bulls. Personally I have met Dane Richards before while he was with the Red Bulls and he is a humble person and a great soccer player. For any new Red Bulls fan, they are in for a treat to see one of Red Bulls veterans make a return to Red Bull Arena.
