Sir Landon Of Donovan

[Kurt.]

it is a real lift to the squad I agree, but we still have a season to finish after he is gone also.

I dont think you plan a season around him, but if you are in trouble he adds a lift, if you are doing well, he provides another option and gives a chance to rest one or two.

Thing is there are few players of that quality available to come in and give a lift to a
squad. With all the games around new year
the timing is pretty good.

He's a nice Christmas present for sure.He'll always be welcome at Goodison anyway.

How's the Saddlers season going?

Awful.

We won 4 all season, but rarely lose, long unbeaten runs consist of draws.

All the teams around us strengthened we didnt, our chairman is one of the worst in the league.

Relegation fodder this season

Thanks to him we're in this mess, never recovered from his 20 months in the job. Gone from Championship - League Two, to League One, back to League Two next season.

We had our best ever side when he took over.

For a more intimate look at Landon Donovan this little biography that was made before the 2006 WC. I think it puts into focus why he stays in the US.

Everton's on-loan midfielder Landon Donovan says he has found it easy to settle into life on Merseyside during his second spell at Goodison Park.

Donovan, 29, joined the Blues for two months from Los Angeles Galaxy following a similar deal two years ago.

He has made eight starts during this stint and can play two more games before returning to the United States.

"Last time I came over it was easy. I'm not sure why, but this time it was even easier," he told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"I got here just before New Year and I was able to travel with the team to the West Brom game and just be around the guys and take it all in again.

"That was a big boost going into the Bolton game and I felt really comfortable.


"In the early part, when things don't go your way, it's tough. You kind of live and die by the results sometimes.

"In the last couple of weeks we've played a lot better and we've got some really important results, which has been good for everyone," the United States international said.

Everton's next match is at Goodison Park on Saturday against Chelsea, who drew 3-3 with Manchester United last weekend.

Donovan played in the same fixture two years ago, helping David Moyes's side record a 2-1 win by setting up the equaliser for Louis Saha.

"That was a really special night last time for me and for the team," Donovan continued.

"They've come off an interesting result against Manchester United. It will be an interesting game to see how they respond to that.

"We feel good in how we're playing, we like how we're playing right now and our form has been pretty good. So it makes for a really good match-up."

I think Landon's changed a good bit since 2006, though. He might still want to stay in LA, but Everton's definitely changed him as a player. I've been watching him since the U17's, he's got a different presence in US soccer since 2009 or so.
