In light of Albert Rúsnak signing his new DP deal with RSL making him the highest paid player in club history, and being now two years removed from club legend Javier Morales leaving the team, we are looking back on what that transition meant then and now.
First, let me get this out of the way: Javier Morales is and will always be a legend at RSL. There is nothing that Albert Rúsnak or any other player for that matter can do to diminish Javi’s impact for the club. He was at the center of the most successful years in RSL history and it doesn’t matter one iota what Rúsnak gets paid, if he doesn’t bring us an MLS trophy he will in my opinion not be on the same level of legends status as Javier Morales.
