We can make fun of teams that sign old, famous players who aren’t that good anymore, and the Red Bulls certainly don't need to do that. But now that they are competing against NYCFC, who have some international stars, it could up the ante in the rivalry if the Red Bulls go out and attract a player with global appeal. Since Thierry Henry left, they haven't had a player like that. And the Red Bulls ticket sales are solid, but they aren't selling out every game, so a marketing boost might not hurt either.
