According to this article in the Aberdeen Press and Journal, the 26 year old Aberdeen Goalkeeper is going to leave for Houston for a trial in the very near future. The article goes on to state that Soutar is a former Scotland U-21 international and the article then goes on to give the salary details of MLS's Scottish players or players who have played for Scottish sides.
Soutar was told he would not be offered a new contract by Aberdeen this summer.
So who does this move spell? Tony Caig or Pat Onstad?

Cracking keeper though, a good one if he comes through the trail.
After widespread cost-cutting measures, SPL clubs' finances began to show signs of improvement. Both Motherwell and Dundee came out of administration in April[32] and August 2004[33], respectively, while Livingston ended their fithteen month spell in administration in May 2005.[34] PricewaterhouseCoopers' 2006 report on SPL finances revealed operating profit's of £2.8m among SPL clubs - the first collective operating profit made by Scotland's top-flight clubs in over a decade.[35] While seven of the SPL's 12 clubs had a wage turnover ratio of less than 60%.[35]
PricewaterhouseCoopers' 2007 report revealed a collective loss of £9m for 2005/06, however six clubs - Falkirk, Hibernian, Inverness CT, Kilmarnock, Motherwell and Rangers - all made a profit.[36] The report highlighted the increasingly precarious financial position of Hearts, describing their current finances as "unsustainable" with debt rising by £7m to £28m and a wage bill which represents 97% of their turnover.[36]
wrong end of the pitch for the Dynamo to be overly concerned about, I think.
But, Onstad does not have a lot of miles left on him, and this addition could maybe build a nice competition for the first XI spot when the time comes...next season?
Is this an indication that Onstad is looking to retire after this season? Or is it simply another option as Caig has not particularly impressed thus far?
This is false. Dom is quoted in the chronicle as never hearing of him before.
