It’s early February and there’s still no schedule, and while February came last year without our list of matches, this year, first kick is much closer. Without a schedule (because we are down one television deal), my co-host Christopher Riordan and I are forced to talk about other things.

Lucky for Chris, a DC United supporter, the week’s biggest news surrounds his club. United States’ international Charlie Davies is on the verge of a season long loan to MLS, with United first in line for the attacker’s services. Davies, however, has not played in a year, but for a United team that’s lacked positive stories in recent seasons, Davies’ comeback gives United early reason to be hopefully.

On this edition of the Major League Soccer Talk podcast, we talk Davies, missing schedules, and the rest of the news are Major League Soccer.
