The first suggestion there might be key players leaving RBNY during this transfer window.
Kristian "Scoops" Dyer reports for Big Apple Soccer that the New York Red Bulls have been shopping around veteran winger Lloyd Sam in the hope of winning some extra spending money.
Citing a well-placed source, Dyer's story suggests Sam is being offered to fellow MLS teams by RBNY with allocation money the desired return.
The report triggers a cascade of speculation. First, it suggests Sam is expendable. This won't be a great surprise to RBNY fans.
