MLS makes salaries public. While there are some players that get the big numbers, I always find it interesting to see the full list. Lots of guys on there who don't earn a whole lot - especially when you compare it to other US team sports. MLS Salaries by Player (pdf file)

I'm really not sure about Faddy. Last season I thought it was a big risk given our finances, but it turned out really well. This season, he has really struggled and hasn't exactly set the heather on fire. Maybe time to part ways and see if we can bring through the next young star - like Dom Thomas.

Would have though Lionel could get more cash down south (as the MLS wages aren't great unless you qualify for "superstar" status or whatever the name is to get around the cap), but good luck to him of he wants to try his hand over here. Randolph needs a decent Centre Half in front of him, so that one definitely makes sense!

Bring back the maximum wage!

So why not just tell us? It's obviously not a secret given that you know.

Why would a guy whose contract is about expire and just put himself in the shop window agree a pre-contract at this stage rather than see what offers come in during the summer (assuming he wants to move on)? Needs to fire his agent.

This is second hand, but I was told that at the Well Society AGM Derek Weir said they were hopeful they could keep the same budget for next season.

So when does the "Complete OSB Issues 1 - 100" come out as a book?

Your attempts at trolling were more entertaining last season too. Too obvious this time around - lazy and lacking in effort.

Now you're in Texas, I expect two and half hours is how long it takes to walk from your house to your garage.

When I'm bored and have the time, I might just run through them and tally them up. At best, I'm guessing they would have us sitting in the relegation play off right now.

To be fair, based on your predictions, a double digit points tally is something you never thought would be possible.

But others did. Complaining that we never get any decisions is up there with "we never win on telly", "we never win when there's a big crowd", "we always lose to teams on a bad run", "our ex-players always score against us" etc. Reading some of the threads, you'd think we'd never won a game.

If the ref had disallowed our 2nd goal for the earlier foul on Saturday we might not be in Europe today.

Don't need any strikers right now with Sutton, Anier, Moore and Erwin. No idea how Pearson has progressed, but doubt we'd be interested.

So pretty impressive season for us then after losing 8 first team regulars and another reduced budget? You must be gutted.

Aye, that would be just the job.

It turned out that way, but to be fair, he was scoring for fun in the U20s when he was offered the new deal. Like so many, however, he wasn't able to make the step up.

Aye, the same Celtic that complain the league isn't competitive, but won't address one of the main reasons it remains that way.

Won't be any worse needing only a draw than if we need to win and score an early opening goal. EDIT: That made sense in my head.

The big difference with this season's team is lack of draws. Definitely lacking in consistency compared to last season's team, but that is to be expected given the wholesale changes and the injury list we have been dealing with. If we can add a couple more faces next season and keep the core, we should be capable of improvement.

Don't forget Lee Erwin is back in the frame too, now he's recovered from his injury.

Buy another packet of Panini's and see if I could do better.

He definitely was, but if I had to choose between Law and Vigurs, I'd be tempted to give Vigurs the nod on recent form. Be happy with either, though.

While that's true, that style of play seems to be encouraged by McCall, so I don't think it's necessarily the player's fault.
