pete0 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I was gutted Blackpool didn't come back up - it would have been tailor made. Same was hoping he'd go back to them, plus it would have been overall better for the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't get that here right now and he's not a long term solution on the right of midfield, so we need to know once and for all if he's cut out to play RB at this level. If he's not then we know we should ship him out and find someone who can do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn31 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Okay 1st, Donovan wouldn't be coming this summer permanently. He'd be coming when his contract ends with LA Galaxy. Is he going to lose some of his game with age? Yes, but he's better than anyone we've got currently playing Right Wing. I wouldn't dish out $10m for him, but I think he'd be a pretty good free transfer. Coleman will never make it as a right winger, not enough skill. He needs to work on the defensive part of his game and hopefully he can turn into a halfway decent rightback. Gueye is more suited for the left and central parts of the pitch, and doesn't have a good enough right foot to play on the right side.

Gueye is more suited for the left and central parts of the pitch, and doesn't have a good enough right foot to play on the right side. I'm a big Donovan(30) fan, but I wouldn't want Everton to spend a lot on him if they were to get him (preferably at contract end) due to his age. I do think he is better than Pienaar, though Pienaar had a more successful loan spell this time around. One thing I've always admired about Donovan is his ability to stay healthy and his consistency on the pitch. He's also versatile which would be a plus when Everton hits their injury-run. However, I don't really want him to come back on a one-month transfer. I would think he still has about 2-3 years left at his current level. In the MLS, he would last until almost 40 probably. As for Coleman, still undecided. I see flashes of potential but progress is slower than what I thought it would be with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Donovan scored a hat-trick for the USMNT in a 5-1 win over a very weak Scottish side. Regardless, great display by the entire team. Thought Michael Bradley (Chievo, Italy) looked particularly impressive and had an amazing 30-yard goal. http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/story/_/id/7976010/landon-donovan-scores-hat-trick-united-states-shreds-scotland Bradley's goal: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverand Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 ooooOOO... Bradley's goal was tasty! Has Michael Bradley never received transfer rumors to Everton? Not saying he would fit but I am just wondering if there was ever talk of him possibly coming to Everton. He got shafted at Aston Villa but played well for Chievo this season.

c1982 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Not directly Donovan but when you consider MLS teams can only have 3 'designated' players (top earners) what will happen if this comes off? http://www.tsn.ca/soccer/story/?id=397366 Can't see Beckham leaving so that leaves Keane or Donovan. Could be worth keeping an eye on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worth keeping an eye on! I don't see why Keane has left for the MLS already, I feel like he had some good years of European football ahead of him had he stayed. That being said, I don't think he'd be leaving Galaxy already, so if Del Piero came in, I'd assume Donovan would be leaving. Donovan has said he'd love to come here, but if there's a high transfer fee, it's definitely not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I firmly believe that Donovan will be with us permanently before sept 1st 2012 with us now dealing with MLS - we could a much better fee for Cahill elsewhere e.g middle east and I believe this to be why - tim's merely a makeweight...

Romey 1878 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Great. We get rid of one ageing midfielder on the decline and pick up another to replace him. I'm just off to get the streamers to celebrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Haha I do believe that Donovan has more to offer then a declining Cahill and could if rumours are true give us abit of needed pace albiet not as quick as He was.

Iamryanstover Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 He says he's considering retiring at the end of the 2013 season. I wouldnt be that surprised if this is the truth to be honest. Landon plays upwards of 50 matches a year between Everton, LA, and US. More likely its his way of telling US soccer he is tires of being called up for BS friendlies, and isnt going to be around forever. I also think he is telling MLS he is ready to make his permanent transfer to Europe. Landon recognizes he only has so many matches left. If he played for a European team he would only have to make 25-30 starts a year, and then could play for the national team in important matches and cups. Also as much as I love Landon because of his age the only way I would want him is if it was on a free transfer, and a short term deal. Maybe an Arsene Wenger type 1 year rolling contract.

Quinn31 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 You know, its depressing when one of your country's few soccer stars is only 30, and seems ready to quit playing altogether. I really hope he can regain his enthusiasm for the sport, because he still has some good years ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
