Re: Reyna close to a RBNY deal? I'm aware of that. I'm simply referring to the way they're split and divvied up and moved around like a monatary shell game. And as far as the priority list, do you really think when Claudio told the league I want to come back home and play in New York, the priority list was part of that conversation?
Re: Reyna close to a RBNY deal? Thank you very much Mr. Lewis for this piece of information. At least albeit slowly, the clubs are starting to take control of their own purse strings. Things are going well.

Re: Reyna is a Red Bull Honestly, I think that this move is a good one. The move would be GREAT if he doesn't take one of our DP spots.
Re: Reyna is a Red Bull it's a very good move. Reyna still has a few years in him and the mls could use his type of high profile class act hard working experienced player. I hope it works out for him.
Re: Reyna close to a RBNY deal? It doesn't? Can you provide how you know this, or some sort of explanation? I mean, if he's removed himself from playing for the national team, i'm not sure how on earth he'd still be in the player pool?
Re: Reyna is a Red Bull Nice one ag ... you got the scoop Good move IMHO; not great (prove me wrong, Claudio ), but good business for all concerned.
Re: Reyna close to a RBNY deal? fox soccer just announced that Reyna has definitely been released by man city. wasn't that the last block to him coming "home"?
Re: Reyna close to a RBNY deal? No way Claudio is more resilient then Tab... you'll see... Come on down Claudio...
Re: Reyna is a Red Bull Thanks Toad... I love sharing info w/ you guys.... Here is an updated version of Lewis's Bigapplesoccer story... http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/story/488244p-411160c.html and don't worry Claudio will do well for RBNY... It will be a love fest w/ him being back w/ El Bruce
Re: Reyna is a Red Bull Have a feeling he'll be a DP. With VdB we now have 1 SI slot left correct? Meaning we couldn't bring in two big time European/South American signings. I'm figuring we'll either land Ronaldo or Delgado as the last SI, with Ronaldo being the more likely signing according to current rumors, and the fact that RB can throw a huge sum of cash at him. Ronaldo is held in some soccer circles in higher regard than Beckham and would definitely make headlines on ESPN and other main media outlets, although not to the same effect as Beckham. However, both he and Reyna are big question marks. If they stay healthy and motivated we definitely have a title contender. If they're out of shape, injured, or unmotivated... well we'll see.
Re: Reyna is a Red Bull How much allocation money the club have? ....If they have enough allocation money to pay his contract they don't need to use a DP for the year 2007 but if isn't enough allocation money and they want him, then, they have to use a DP spot from the bigining. Remember, they only can do this, ...this year, because starting 2008 every player that make more tan $ 300.000.00 have to be a Designated Player (DP), ....if they don't change the rules again.
Re: Reyna is a Red Bull As someone who had the luxury of knowing Claudio when I was younger and playing pick up soccer in my friend's backyard with him for a few year's before he went to Virginia, I have to say I am really excited that he is coming back home. I just hope for his sake and the team's sake that he stays healthy. I think the Red Bulls are headed in the right direction with BA in charge. Only time will tell....
Re: Reyna is a Red Bull Now, where the hell will he play? As an AM? He sucks there...DM?? I think a motivated Ronaldo would be awesome. If he scores goals early, I think that would be enough to keep him motivated. Also, no BSing with him. Either you come to play or to play. No fooling around like it seems he does at RM.
