Oh, and Moyes did an interview on MLS.com:
http://www.mlssoccer.com/extratime
Article summarizing:
http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/12/19/everton-boss-moyes-throw-donovan-right-mix
Moyes said he expects to throw Donovan right into the thick of things when the current LA Galaxy man begins his two-month loan spell with the Toffees.
“We’ll try and get Landon as many starts as we possibly can,” he said, “but obviously that’s down to form, fitness, and all the things that go with it. … He comes in a real busy period for us – January, there’s a lot of games over here – so he’ll get his football, he’ll get his playing time, and hopefully he can be as successful as he was last time.”
“I see Landon doing a couple of jobs for us,” he explained. “I can see him playing off the right, which he did last time, we may need him off the left at times, and in fact, we’re really short on goals at the present time and I could consider playing him up front as well.”
*************
So basically, we still don't know where the heck he's playing in our formation, Moyes is considering playing him everywhere we are. He also expresses multiple times he hopes Landon is ready to go 1/4. If he's fit enough, he's starting immediately. Very interesting that upfront comment.
Moyes also answers a question about LD coming permanently - he says we have historically been priced out by MLS, the plans are only for two months BUT, if Landon performs well, and if he wants to stay, Moyes would consider calling Bruce and LA and trying to make a deal. He didn't say an outright no.
Also - Moyes scouted Americans at the USA vs France game (was this reported anywhere?). I'm very curious as to who he was looking at. Knowing our team right now - midfielders??? RB? Shea? Since the US is also sorely short in strikers, don't think that was it. But it's our club's monetary situation that we are looking at the Americans. We come cheap(er) and according to Moyes we're hardworkers with a good attitude.

I think his comment is more saying that he expects him to arrive match fit and ready to go, we aint paying good money to get him fit for the mls, there can be no settling in period he has to arrive ready to go.
He aint McFadden ffs.
His loan period has to be more productive for Everton than for LA Galaxy and the U.S. National team.

He can score a double against Spuds as well by firstly ramming R/S Friedels words down his fat neck, and making up for the worse miss of his career at WHL.... which cost us the points that would've put us in a Europa place.

I hope he is on top form to get things kick started for us. We need him in the lineup right away.
Just ordered the silver shirt online, £25 plus 20% off, throw in the printing and it came to £35. Hopefully it arrives before crimbo day.
