Ernst Obster Finally A Red Bull

By: Dave Martinez | July 15th, 2009

RBR reports on the signing of Austrian Left Wing Prospect Ernst Obsters signing with the Red Bulls (and it isn’t the Austrian team this time!). Though there are conflicting reports, he has actually signed on to the team, and is not on loan from RB Salzburg.

Obster has been linked to a move here sporadically since last year. The 25 year old has wanted to make the move sooner, but the mother/sister club just wasn’t letting him go, despite relegating him to bench duties for most of the Austrian season. Even so, he was with the team twice as they won Austrian league titles in 2007 and 2009.

It is expected that the young player will sit either behind Angel and (*forward name here) or claim that gaping hole left on the wing by Dave Van Den Bergh.

What are your thoughts on this signing? Will we see Obster debut against the Galaxy? Habla away!
