Charlie needs to start working hard.......if something like this is in the media wouldnt it make him work harder. I expect Charlie do get back into the starting line-up soon. He is still just a kid and I think his time w/ the USMNT motivates him even more.
Because it suits his argument better. Duh? Fact has no currency here on BS. Learn that and you're get alone nicely with the locals.
Ourselves and Coach Bradley have seen Davies with the Nats, yet the forward search continues. That should be motivating. I think Jozy, Hill, and any other forward that could possibly play for the Nats should be motivating.
http://www.svenskafans.com/fantv/player/dev_flash.asp?clip=3995&cat=0&list=all There you go, there's some clips from training sessions and matches with Charlie, also an interview with him and the coach, Gustavsson. Gustavsson talks about: - Again, that Charlie needs to change his attitude towards training. As he puts it , something like this: "He comes from a culture where it's more about performing in the games and more 'play' in training" and that he needs to give 100% in every training session. - The quote from our scout that said that Charlie was the best 20 year old player he'd ever seen. Gustavsson says that Charlie has suffered from it because he 1, gets a lot of pressure on him 2, thought that he was supposed to be a complete player when he arrived in Sweden, which is not true or something they expected from him. And because of this he needs to be more humble in his work and evolve in training and not just perform in games. - That developing a young player is not just about learning how to pass the ball correctly, but it's also about developing their characters and personalities and that moving to Sweden is a huge step for Charlie and because of that they (the coach and his team I presume) need to coach him but also demand things from him. - That what he and Charlie have talked about is for him to be a part of a combination play (roughly translated), not to be an isolated player that does a lot himself, but to be part of a collective. Finding the right timing and cooperation with the other forwards. This is something he, Charlie, and also the coach himself need to work on. Because individually he's really good (in search of the right word), but he needs to make his dribblings and his speed work in a collective combination play. Hope I got that quite right anyway.
Interesting hearing Preki saying on TV last night that one of the hardest things in MLS is getting the players who come from a college environment to adjust to the demands of playing in a professional environment, especially in regard to training and working hard every minute on the field. Maybe Charlie isn't so much a head case as a typical guy coming out of college and having to learn the ropes of playing pro ball.
Hopefully Davies takes this to heart.........he def. has the skills to be a great striker but I think he has been caught up with the fame of living/playing for Hammarby.
It's articles like this to makes me happy that Davies chose Hammarby or maybe I should say Hammarby chose him. They seem so sincere about not only developing Davies the player but Davies the person. Hammarby seem like a "hands on" outfit willing to take the time to show how the small things, like the proper approach to training, can be the difference between a good player and a great player. They are nurturing him slowly but surely and it will pay off. Charlie will benefit as I'm sure he already has. Charlie is not a head case, he's young and naive. I'm just glad he's at a club where he's allowed to be young and naive, with less pressure. But when the youthfulness and nativity are shown the club comes down on you but not to belittle or degrade you but to help build you.
Fredrikstad (Norway)- Hammarby its now GMT 1900 its no TV but its on the net..... http://www.ffktv.no/hammarby/ Kvalite is maybe Norwgien but still pics

This feed is astonishing. You'd have to pay for a stream this good if it were the US (not that I want to give any ideas to our Norwegian friends). Norwegian is a tough language! With Swedish I can at least hear the word breaks, even if I have more or less no idea what they're saying.
Well he doesn't say much really, here's an extract of the first half: - Good ball - Nice ball - Raymond - Another good ball - I'll go fishing tomorrow - Good ball So just enjoy your 25 seconds while it lasts. And CD? Well hope to see him in the second half, nerve wrecking is the word right now.
Halftime. Although the feed occasionally stopped, the quality of it is excellent -- I can actually see faces and names! Hammarby is playing more of a counterattack game, while Fredrikstad is finding its way through the defense, but not enough to produce a quality chance.
