Charlie Davies

they are known for helping youngsters with their skills so I think this will be good for him.

Plus, I enjoy watching PSG which is one of the clubs mentioned by the trainer who he would like to sell Davis to in a few years once they have worked in improving his various skills. :banana:

 

Has he played any in any preseason so far?

 

Davies came off the bench for the last 20 minutes in Sochaux's 1-0 season-opening win. He had a couple chances that the highlights below show.

Assuming they are both fit this deep into the season, dates to watch:

23/12/09 19:00 LIGUE 1 Sochaux / Stade Rennes

02/05/10 19:00 LIGUE 1 Stade Rennes / Sochaux

Never thought I would be pumping Ligue 1 so much, but historically, despite the fact that we make such fun of each other's culture at times ruthlessly, the French have always helped us evolve. I think this could be a good fit for the immediate future for quite a few talented Yanks. And a gateway to the rest of Europe.

And it should be mandatory that each one march down the Champs-Elysees before their first match.

 

Yes it will.

 

Davies scored two today coming on in the second half as a sub. I will try to post highlights later today whenever they pop up on the interwebs.

 

Awesome, Charlie. I hope he delighted the French with one of his "unique" goal celebration dances.

 

HD and I talked about this today and he was predicting Davies' style would cause problems for French defenders. Didn't take long to come to fruition.

 

Love to hear this.

 

Big ups to Charlie!

 

This looks to be highlights:

What a stud -- he is officially my USMNT man crush.

 

What you gotta like about those 2 goals he scored was it wasnt just done with speed. He put himself in good scoring positions and finished when the ball came to him. True goal scorer.

 

sha-lee dav-EEEESS. Probably gonna have that in the back of my head the next time he scores for USMNT. Thanks for the highlights Lax.

 

Sochaux lost 2-0; Davies was substituted after 70 minutes.

Rumors about Chamakh moving to England seem to be done after he turned down a transfer to West Ham and said he's staying at Bordeaux for the season. I like Bordeaux manager Laurent Blanc's quote:

 

No goal this week, but Davies drew the penalty that led to Sochaux's PK goal.

Charlie Davies looks like a pain in the arse to defend inside the box.
