Sir Landon Of Donovan

I hope your right. But Moyes states again no World Cup purchases. My impressions are the youth will lead the rebellion to fourth from now on. Get ready for more untested and non household names.
 

For what it's worth (not a whole hell of a lot) Donovan did not make the trip out east with LA to New England. On the one hand, not meaningful in that he needs a rest and he's only played a home match on July 4th (which qualifies as exceptional circumstances in the U.S.A.) since returning. On the other hand, LA (with Salt Lake now breathing down their neck and a match in hand) lost a match to what is now (F&ck!!!) the worst team in the league...
 
I can't see Donovan being signed here on a full time basis, my impressions of him are that while he enjoyed his time here he always saw it as a temporary thing. He loves his life in LA and his stint here was a project in the MLS off season with the potential to prove himself in Europe on a small scale.
If we do get him back in some capacity, it's far more likely to be on another loan deal in the winter in the same way that David Beckham had consecutive loan spells at AC Milan from LA Galaxy.

Phil Neville's actually said that Donovan told him he wants to go back to Everton

I'm sceptical.
A. There's no actual evidence (that I'm aware of) of Neville actually saying this.
B. Neville (or Donovan) could be bullshitting, very possible.
C. There's the small matter of the fee that Galaxy would demand for Donovan right now, it may be well beyond our budget.
 
^ He said it on Saturday mate, during the Sydney game. Heard it with my own ears. Doubt he'd have any reason to lead us on..
 
Encouraging to hear, but I won't be reading anything into it until I see him holding a shirt with his name on the back at Finch Farm.
I think we'll see him in January, in the same deal we had for him last year or maybe a little longer.
I'm all for being surprised though.
