Goals galore on the right side of Charlotte. I see Joz hasn’t provided a goal or assist yet.

He assisted in the US Open Cup.

Disappointed to see more young talent leaving the club and probably for less than they should be worth

Ignorant to the standard of the MLS these days but it’s either better than most of us give it credit for or Byrne’s too proud to admit what he’s done was wrong and has had to resort to the MLS. 
 
If only he had a time machine.

He’ll probably go now and be back in January.

With Russell doing so well there you'd have to assume it's bottom end Championship level for the most part.

Not every player is looking for a good standard of football though, maybe he wants to live over there and experience the lifestyle and you also have to think that he might have been offered pretty good money too and would rather that than play for a good championship team.

With apologies to @Inverurie RamAll my brain does during this thread is sing this song:

"Nathan Byrne, you bin gone too long..."

I hate my brain sometimes.

He's averaged a goal or assist every other game since moving over there (0.52 goals/assists per game to be a bit more precise). He only had a better record than that against 3 clubs in the Championship (played against 39):

• Bolton - 1.17 (4 goals and 3 assists in 6 games)
• Watford - 1.00 (3 assists in 3 games)
• Wolves - 0.86 (3 goals and 3 assists in 7 games)

I think you're being generous by saying "bottom end Championship".

So in MLS, unless signed as a marquee player (very much doubt it) the salary cap means senior players can not earn more than $612k per year, which is under £10k per week. However, the average MLS senior-roster player earns well under half that, in fact about £4k per week.

Guessing Byrne would be over the average but under the top rate.

Might have this wrong, but I thought he was on £12k a week with Derby?

[B4ev6is]

Well bye cya later if does not want to be at derby let him go save on his wages and free up space maybe for couple new players.

He is young in the bigger picture, not even half way to picking up a state pension.

The MLS in fairness has become a decent opportunity for some football league players.

Nathan Byrne might just fancy a new challenge and the environment over there makes it an easy transition.

Liam Ridgewell had a decent spell there while in his prime years.

[Ambitious]

Part of me is glad that due to his contractual issues, and the lack of genuine interest in him, that he’s having to up-sticks and move to a different country.

Shame it’s not Siberia or Afghanistan, but it will do.
