RedBullsReader has learned the the club has signed midfielder Ernst Öbster, pending a physical, and the receipt of his P1 and ITC. Öbster should be available when the international transfer window opens on July 15, one day ahead of the Red Bulls match with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
The 25 year old joins New York from sister club Red Bull Salzburg. Öbster has been with the team since before Red Bull took over in the 2005-06 season, as he began his career with SV Austria Salzburg in 2001. The 5-10 left-footed player helped Red Bull Salzburg to two Autrian Bundesliga titles (2007 and 2009).

I love the move a kid with a left foot than can cross the ball to angel and hopefully paunovic i saw hime pic and i think he know how to put the ball in the back of the net so let get him in here
July 14, 2009 at 1:32 PM |
i saw him play sorry
July 14, 2009 at 1:38 PM |
Finally something positive from this organization. Is he the answer? Likely not, but at least he is young and fills a void for us at LM.
Now let’s get Nedved! You people to get excited about this team/club? Get Nedved!

Dare I say it? I see a young Dave van den Bergh…
July 14, 2009 at 4:37 PM |
woah woah dont do that yet. lets wait and watch him play. for now he is obster, not VDB
July 14, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Fair enough. I can dream can’t I? We haven’t had anything to cheer about this season so I’ll invent things…
July 14, 2009 at 5:16 PM |
Rock Obster …… ROTFL!!!
July 14, 2009 at 5:58 PM |
Something tells me that after these signings are in we’ll see JCO and the goose will be fired.
July 14, 2009 at 6:02 PM |
I wouldn’t put money on it my friend.
July 14, 2009 at 6:01 PM |
If he manages to get assists like van den bergh did, that rock obster chant will be brilliant.
July 14, 2009 at 7:13 PM |
Finally something promising for once! He’s a good talent, and he’s not like Schopp was (old). I look forward to seeing him on the pitch.
July 14, 2009 at 7:49 PM |
All we need now is a young very creative midfielder….cuz Rojas sucks. he always play behind and very limited in creativity
see you next year REDBULLS…
July 14, 2009 at 9:54 PM |
ok so all we need is a good foward (young) who is fast and creative on the ball like montero and a playmaker besides rojas who can CREATE plays
July 14, 2009 at 10:34 PM |
when you put it like that, it sounds impossible but if angel ever did want to go back to river plate we could theoretically get a young talented forward that seem to grow on trees in argentina.
July 15, 2009 at 4:36 AM |
is this only a loan? i feel like all MLS loans require an option to buy… unless i’m mistaken of course
July 15, 2009 at 8:22 AM |
angel would probably want to go back their because its his first club Lou i think thats what happened with McBRIBE for chicago i would love to see a young foward replace angel because am starting to get hooked on to monteros way of play lets see old lazzzy player(Angel) -fast creative young player( along the lines of montero) who would you pick ?
July 15, 2009 at 9:15 AM |
Who would i pick from river plate? That’s a tough question because many of their young players are targeted by the top european clubs so we wouldn’t be able to get a lot of them, maybe andres rios who is only 20 years old and plays for the u-20 Argentinean national team, or 19 year old gustavo buo, or 20 year old attacking midfielder and replacement for diego buonanotte; damian lizio who also plays for the u-20 Argentinean national team.
July 15, 2009 at 10:27 AM
here’s a video of lizio
July 15, 2009 at 9:11 AM |
He would be confused because his name Obster (with an umlaut) is pronounced Ooobster.
July 15, 2009 at 11:27 AM |
I hope these moves work, on paper all the players look decent and have potential, the question is can Osorio get the team to be able to function, I dont think its entirely a question of talent, this team should not be 2-13-4, how Osorio kept his job is amazing. Lets see what they can do. We possibly may have added 4 new starters in Coundoul,Krupnik,Obster and if Paunovic signs, this is obviously with a look to the future (next year) because if Paunovic signs by the time he gets his work papers etc there will probably be 9 games left.
July 15, 2009 at 3:55 PM |
what position is Paunovic ? anyway lou Lizio seems good for this club but you cant really see it in this video bacuse people around him arnt vevry talented he would look good on redbulls he makes good passes to his teamattes but they cant capitolize
July 15, 2009 at 10:40 PM |
jason river plate is an elite club, the players around him are far more talented than most of the players on our team. The argentine league is arguably the class leageu of south america. Again i’m not saying we could get any of these guys, but if we were able to bring angel back to river plate, we could get someone like montero.
July 15, 2009 at 3:57 PM |
lol are the 2 dots over the o in his last name going to be on his jersey just wondering
?

I’m pretty sure they will be – I mean they are part of his last name afterall!

[...] 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. [...]

DUDE HAS WICKED LEFT FOOT
July 16, 2009 at 9:33 AM |
yeah he has a good left foot in this video but most of the video is against austrian youth teams and austrian reserve teams, he may turn out to be the next VDB but i wouldn’t write him off as that just by seeing this video.
July 19, 2009 at 7:37 PM |
AMany players could put a shot like that on goal if given that much space from the marking defense – Stammler, Ubiparpovich, Rojas, Angel, to mane just a few.
