In terms of expectations, the New York Red Bulls say they want to be competitive. Their roster, on the other hand, says something entirely different.
It is a roster that, as of right now, screams rebuild.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, especially since the Red Bulls only prominent personnel moves have been on the way out of the organization over the past two seasons.
