Let me tell you about true luxury.

You don't want to fall into the MLS fan trap of supporting garbageman players like 2016 LeToux and 2016 Davies. No one in this league is good enough or interesting enough to avoid being sacrificed for the greater good.

I would get rid of every DC United player right now if it meant improving to a consistent playoff team. Hamid? Bye. Olsen? In the the Anacostia with you biatch. No one would be safe. Unfortunately the ownership is incompetent.

When he was fit he was great for New England :shrug:

Davies scored 11 in 26 for DC United. He then went on to score 14 goals in his next 87 professional games, 60 of those being with New England. Y'all can rose colored glasses that situation all you want, but he's trash and should hang up his boots and become a Minuteman or whatever you call those guys that shoot muskets before your games.

It's never a bad time to remind people that Charlie Davies is not an inspirational story, but a cautionary tale of not being a piece of dog poo poo. gently caress him. I hope he gets traded to the Ventura County Fusion and eaten by stray cats.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
The on-again/off-again Fabian Castillo-to-Trabzonspor deal appears to be on again: https://twitter.com/Trabzonspor/status/761243618673909761

(loan with option to buy, SI says 3m upfront for the loan with an undisclosed fee for the option)

also, yeah I know Davies is a Local Boy Done...Okayish but from an on-field perspective the only downside for NE is that they did the deal too late to actually use any of those Garberbucks before December.

He took it poorly? I only remember waving him off at the going away party we had and him signing my scarf. Le Toux... :unsmith:

Seattle has going away parties. DC has overnight crews chopping down posters of you as you leave.

After that happened to DeRo, we simply stopped putting up posters at all.
