Sir Landon Of Donovan

[Kay20]

Someone's head mate.

I know we aren't the best at transfers but £3m for that loan spell?! Sounds unlikely.

It was also mentioned in this thread that his sponsors picked up a part of the tab. We don't know how much.

Tried to find a figure, but no articles mention it:

Is Strac being sent back to get Donovan?

Dier is a youth loan. Doesn't count.

There are two types of loan, which I shall refer to as "short-term" and "long-term".


A short-term loan is for a period between 28 and 93 days, including the start date and the finishing date. (All loans are for a specific number of days, and technically there is no such thing as "a month's loan".) The player cannot be recalled by his original club during the first 28 days (although it's possible that such a recall is allowed for goalkeepers in an extreme case), but can be afterwards regardless of the original period of the loan. A club can have up to eight players on short-term loan during the season, but no more than four at any one time.

Watched all 90 minutes. He was fanastic in the 2nd half (minus the sitter on turf and PK). He was EVERYWHERE. Through balls, bursts of speed, great layoffs, give and gos. Essentially, he looked like Landon from 2009. Dude has found his legs and his pace (makes me realize how injured he was earlier this year).

And all at...wait for it...

Withdrawn Forward.

Yes, he's been playing a striker. And looking damn good.

With that said, in watching him, he's been playing really well with Keane. Not quite sure Saha plays quite the same way. Wonder if the two of them would impede one another's runs...
