This week, the New York Red Bulls extended the loan of a forward who has yet to score in MLS despite making six starts. On the surface, it seems a bit unorthodox. Forwards, after all, are supposed to score goals.

But the pairing of Brazilian forward Fabio with the New York Red Bulls is a perfect couple. One that should take off in MLS play sooner rather than later.
