New York Red Bulls fans are in for a treat this season.
Titi Henry has signed for the MLS club on a multi year deal and will be unveiled tomorrow. For those curious to know when he will be in action- he is about to take on Spurs on July 22nd at Red Bull Arena. That should be like old times, right? Nothing like Spurs to get those old Arsenal juices flowing again – this time in a Red Bulls shirt.
“This marks an exciting new chapter in my career and life,” Henry said. “It is an honor to play for the New York Red Bulls. I am fully aware of the team’s history and my sole goal during my time here is to help win the club its first championship. Knowing Red Bull’s significant commitment to soccer locally and internationally, I am confident that my teammates and I will succeed.”
He still has those legs. East Coast vs West Coast? That rivalry will have an edge now.

YES. I’ve got tickets to this. I’m a Spurs supporter (and yes, I still read and enjoy your blog, Roy. haha). Now I can root even harder.
Cool – planning to go for it too. Spurs are looking pretty impressive. ‘Arry Redknapp means business. And now you guys get back a healthy Luka Modric.
I wonder, how would an MLS team handle a talent like Henry
and yeah, they look pretty solid this year. of course we say that every year. but i think if we can hold on to modric we may have a shot at top 3. as hit or miss as he was losing michael carrick in the middle killed us for a few years. nice to finally have a true playmaker again.
