Charlie Davies is being applauded as a major factor in the US victory over Egypt on Sunday, and the accolades have me wondering about his club future. It wouldn't be a stretch to think that Davies might be on the radar of more than a few teams after his performance, especially as he was already rumored to be a target of both French and German clubs during the January transfer window.

But Davies might not be the only American for whom the Confederations Cup spotlight is a boon; Landon Donovan has been singled out as one of the lone consistent performers for the USMNT in the tournament, so perhaps the international stage is doing him some good as well. If Europe comes calling again, I'd like to hope that MLS will be reasonable in their asking price and allow Donovan to renew his aspirations abroad.

For Oguchi Onyewu, it's no longer a matter of "if" but "where". The center back is a free agent, and will have his choice of clubs. The most recent rumor has him moving to Fenerbahce in Turkey, and although the Confederations Cup is probably not strengthening his bargaining position significantly, he's played well enough that he might be able to squeeze a few extra nickels out of whichever club finally signs him.

For a few of the younger Americans, the Confederations Cup has been nothing but a trip to South Africa and some intense training sessions. That hasn't stopped speculation about their futures though, with Freddy Adu tweeting about his, and Jose Francisco Torres' being linked to La Liga.

Just a year removed from his last move from Dutch side Heerenveen to Bundesliga club Borussia Monchengladbach, Michael Bradley is once again the subject of transfer rumors, with whispers of a potential move to Aston Villa hitting the internet just in the last few days. It's specifically mentioned that Villa manager Martin O'Neill has been impressed with the American midfielder's play in the Confederations Cup, proof that the world's eyes, no matter the ultimate significance of the tournament, are turned to South Africa.

In spit of the terrible start to the tournament that the Americans had as a group, it seems at least a few are benefiting from the stage; it might even be argued that Davies sticks out from the pack because he played so well against Egypt while being largely unsoiled by the stench of the first two group matches. Adu and Torres have not yet seen the field, so they remain the only potential transfers that have not had a chance to increase their stock in the competition (or perhaps hurt it). The only player not yet mentioned that could be a transfer target is Sacha Kjlestan, perhaps the only one on the list that has featured for the US but played so poorly that he might have done damage this his value.

Fill in the gaps if I'm missing anyone, or if you have heard transfer rumors that I don't have hear.
