Bailey Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Blimey, you would think he's world class or something. He's a hard working front runner who relies on being fully fit and full of energy. But he is getting on and the quality of the prem may be a little much for him now. For me it's the wrong type of signing. We have kone and jelavic as experienced strikers, anichebe, Vellios, Gerard all in frame to get the odd game. Mcaleny will be looking for game time when he gets back - so for me getting Donovan would be like going to primark for a few tit bits before your holiday when you have already got a suit case full of things - just in case! Thats a bit harsh isnt it Haf. When he was here he was by far our most clinical attacking player and he probably still would be. I think his first spell here was over rated and his second was under rated. Matt, nutmegwolf203 and JoeQuince 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoward18 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Looks like we can finally kill this one off. A contract extension with the Galaxy will be announced tomorrow. A bit surprising, to be honest. I thought he would have at least considered a few offers abroad.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/news/20130827/landon-donovan-la-galaxy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn31 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 This pisses me off as an American. I really wish he would've challenged himself at SOME POINT in his career with a permanent, longer spell abroad. While it was nice to have a top American in MLS like him for awhile, he really should've gone abroad as well to showcase his skills. Think his talent was wasted by spending over a decade in America.

Zoo Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) This pisses me off as an American.

While it was nice to have a top American in MLS like him for awhile, he really should've gone abroad as well to showcase his skills. Think his talent was wasted by spending over a decade in America. Agreed, he could have been so much more. He should have done what Dempsey did and spend his best years in a top league and come back to settle down in the US. Got a lot of respect for him though, always wish him well. Edited August 27, 2013 by Zoo Matt and Quinn31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee_in_LA Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1633494/everton-eye-landon-donovan-loan-la-galaxy-january?cc=5901 Don't see it happening myself, although I can see him challening Pienaar/Mirallas who have lacked at times. I feel like it's similar to Dempsey in the sense that Donovan wants to stay fit for the World Cup but needs to go somewhere where he'll get consistent playing time. He still played well for the Galaxy but he's not the same player as he was a couple of season back. Him being a big reason I'm an Everton supporter, I'd love to have him on though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I don't think we need him really Why not? Delo~ is injured for the foreseeable future, Naismith isn't a football player let alone a winger, and Ovideo is a LB. What if Pienaar and/or Mirallas gets injured? I think it would be a very good piece of business for us and I would love to see him on Goodison Park soil again - He's boarderline a legend at Everton and he loves the club too.

Quinn31 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Nah, we don't need him! A good squad consists of eleven players, maybe less. If Mirallas or Pienaar gets hurt, we'll just play with 10 men and have wonderkid/second coming of Christ play both attacking mid and winger at the same time!

markjazzbassist Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 He would be perfect cover on the right and for Barkley as well. And by the time Gerry is back and fit Landon will be back to mls. I'm glad Juergen is all about it, but will Bruce arena change his mind?
