Bless Their Hearts (RBNJ Talk Here)

Wow. RB sign Chuopo-Moting. That's really good for them, but he's 35. How much can he realistically do? New York Red Bulls sign ex-Bayern, PSG star Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting | MLSSoccer.com
Their use of "star" is interesting. He's a great locker room personality, but using a DP spot on a guy that's almost always been a backup striker and is now 35YO is very interesting. Miss having him at Bayern for his personality but he also hasn't had a club since early summer. Hasn't played a game since May 4, 2024. Out of 32 games in 23/24 when he was available, he played over 60' only seven times. Three of those came at the end of the season when the trophy was already in Leverkusen's sights.
 
35-year-old who had 2 goals in the Bundesliga last year and hasn't been a consistent starter for years. That is not a good DP signing.
He was still really good with Bayern a couple years ago in limited minutes. Big guy though, 6'3" or so, and he knows how to score. He could be a physical presence for them if he has anything left in the tank.

But a DP? Agreed, it seems like a waste.

Yeah, and even though he's a known name among soccer fans, he's not a needle mover in terms of getting any sort of material additional interest in the team.
