• Today's update on Pablo's condition is encouraging, but long-term. He is practicing with the team multiple days a week but he's not yet ready to play. Apparently he'll make a decision about retirement once the season is over. It sounds like he wants to continue playing but I still believe that he'll decide to retire.

MLS released its latest round of player and team salaries earlier this week. To no one's surprise, David Beckham, Thierry Henry and Rafa Marquez were among the best-paid players in the league while the New York Red Bulls and Los Angeles Galaxy were the two clubs with the highest payrolls.

Still, there were plenty of interesting salaries among some of the newcomers in the league, including that of Tim Cahill.

The annual mid-summer dump of player salary information by the Major League Soccer Player's Union has hit, and as always, it makes for a great read for fans. As always, there is plenty of fodder for discussion for fans looking critically at the list of salaries. The Revolution's all new Designated Player Jerry Bengston is making only $120,000, suggesting that his DP status is based on his transfer fee and not his salary.

The LA Galaxy have known for months that they would have to find a way to get Chad Barrett off their payroll in order to fit all the salaries they had compiled on their roster for 2012, and on Monday it appears they have finally found a way to make that move happen.

The Galaxy have sent Barrett on loan to Valarenga for the remainder of the 2012 MLS season, Galaxy writer Adam Serrano confirmed on Monday night.

I'll go more into this next week when there is time. Some big surprises as always and a few questionable salaries decisions from some clubs as well.

If I get time I'll do a old fashion All Underpaid and All Overpaid team too.

If you have 47 minutes to kill and you want to know how David Beckham single handedly transformed MLS from deadbeat to drumbeat. No I kid. Actually, Beckham's legacy is mixed. He did not quite match Alexi Lalas's hyperbole of saviour of football. But he isn't also quite the write off.

Americans didn't abandon their sporting interests in droves to take to an imported sport because of Beckham other than an initial spike out of curiosity.

Dear Sir Alex,

As lifelong Manchester United fans, we are disappointed and concerned by quotes attributed to you in a recent interview. Many of us are the same fans who protested to denounce Cubic Expression back in 2005. These are the same fans who had previously offered you their unwavering support during your private dispute over Rock of Gibraltar's breeding rights, despite Cubic Expression raising some very pertinent questions.

Well no one expected this. Just when you think there's nothing left at Spurs to surprise, we begin pre-season training with signings in the bag and more to come. The man whose transfer window brinkmanship is both loathed and envied in equal measure by his fellow chairmen has bought Vertonghen and Sigurdsson, lined up Adebayor and above all enabled Bale to stay, at least for a while.

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness.

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds nought and six, result misery.

Those are the wise words of Wilkins Micawber, the man himself struggled to live by the maxim and found himself in debtors prison.

Don't know who else missed these, but apparently they have been out for a few days now. Since these are from the Players Union, they should be pretty accurate.

Biggest surprises for me have to be that Nagbe's our second-highest paid player in terms of total compensation.
