Between Marquez (headbutt) and Frings (handball), the Red Bulls seem to be cultivating players that will get American soccer fans in arms, lol.

But ok that aside... it seems like a sort of odd choice as they don't really need a CDM. But then, they've clearly shown they want to win some silverware this season, and their roster is severely depleted thanks to the Gold Cup, so this couldn't hurt.

On the other hand, I'm generally more in favor of buying younger players from smaller leagues instead of older big names (speaking as an MLS fan, not a RB fan specifically). So idk.

Hehehehe. Let me ask you something: I have been read some really harsh comments about Torsten there in US because of the "handball" incident in WC 2002. Is there some real hate or it's just a joke? Heheheh, as Torsten fan sometimes I become a little bit concerned about that :)

Oh-oh. Well, just hope that they won't bash him too much, if he really plays there.

Wow! Nice to know that Torsten has fans there in North America. You know, I took a plane from Brazil to Germany two months ago just to meet him in person, after 5 years of fandom. Believe me, he was great :)

Actually Torsten has always claimed and assured that when the time comes he wants to end his career at his childhood club Alemannia Aachen, so...

I don't know how true this is or if it'd be the best move for any of the parties involved, but. . . I have a soft spot for Werder and Torsten so if he comes to the NYRB (who are my MLS team) I'll be excited and will be out there cheering for him! :) and hoping that Marko will come visit!
