Sir Landon Of Donovan

I love Landon- think he loves us too. So frustrating that I dont think he would take an awful amount of money to get him but to have both Pienaar and the Don in the same side with Mr Jelavic, Mr Fellaini and Mr A N other would be mustard.

there was an interview with Landon where long story short, it comes out looking like he lost his passion for the game. I view it differently.

Just me reading between the lines with things Landon has said even a few years back, but his only goal left in MLS was to win the Cup with the Galaxy. Yes he won 2 while loaned out to San Jose, but he wanted to win won as a captain. He also seemed to want to make a permanent Everton move after his first spell with the team but MLS was being difficult. While it has only been a few years, the MLS doesn't need him like they did then to get the league revenue with pretty much all the teams doing well in their markets.

In short, now that Donovan has done what he wanted in MLS, he needs a new challenge. Add in LA being horrible early on with Omar Gonzalas hurt, and he has more motivation to leave.

I think he's lost his passion for the Galaxy and MLS, which is what was discussed earlier in the thread. We saw what happened on Saturday when he was presented with a new challenge and a fresh outlook.

Could we ever land Michael Bradley? He is in spectacular form.

probably not. After a permanent move to Villa didn't come, he came out and said he would only go to Italy. He loves the city of Verona, Chievo fans adore him, and media and other teams love him and it looks like he'll move up the ranks in Serie A

Probably not. We have Fellaini, Rodwell, Neville, and Heitinga who can all play DM.

Ahem. Remember those sponsors that LCAB was talking about helping get Landon here? Gee. Wonder if one of them is Nike.

See answer above.

Wish he was coming in the summer. Sigh.
