D.C. United might acquire Charlie Davies on loan
By Steve Goff
D.C. United has been in serious discussions about acquiring French-based forward Charlie Davies, the emerging American star whose career was derailed by injuries suffered in a car accident in 2009, multiple sources told the Insider.
If a deal is reached, Davies, 24, would join the MLS team on a season-long loan from Sochaux and report to training camp in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as early as this week. One source believes a decision is likely in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Per club policy, United officials declined to discuss player pursuits. Lyle Yorks, Davies' agent, said that "we're in discussions for a loan possibility" but declined to identify a club or country. Although the international transfer window closed Monday in most of Europe, it does not prevent clubs from loaning or transferring talent to leagues that have open windows. MLS's acquisition period does not end until April 15. Some Scandinavian countries are also able to acquire players. Before playing in France, Davies played for Hammarby in Sweden.
Davies, a U.S. national team regular, suffered numerous injuries in October 2009. While on national team duty ahead of a World Cup qualifier at RFK Stadium, he was a passenger in a car that crashed on the George Washington Memorial Parkway outside of Washington.
Davies underwent months of rehabilitation and returned to training with Sochaux in the spring of 2010 but didn't make enough progress to warrant selection to the U.S. World Cup squad. Since then, he has played for Sochaux's reserve squad but has not made a first-team appearance. Sochaux has been actively seeking to loan him.

Charlie getting significant minutes would warm my heart. He's worked so hard, and deserves to get back to his old form if there's anyway he can.

CD9 + Najar + Super Dax + Chris Pontius not from Jackass + Bill Hamid + That One Serbian Defender = MLS Playoffs.

Hell yes, I want this loan to come to fruition not just because I'm a MLS/US Soccer fan but bc I want the best for Davies. This is one of those steps that would help tremendously.
ETA: He will be the 10th USMNT member to be loaned out since the transfer windows have closed. Damn.

Give our boys some PT. Bradley was a different situation. He just wanted to play in the Premiership.

This guy was our best striker before the car accident. DC will be a good opportunity for him to get back that form.
