Sir Landon Of Donovan

[Kay20]

I didn't say being 30+ was a benefit. I was trying to point that this batch of players from .be people are raving about were just over 21-23 when they were qualifying for Europe when they finished behind Turkey so not ready and gel'd up as a team as the 30 smth USMNTLOL is. And I'm pretty sure the states team will be the more organized and hard working side as that's what teams that are not blessed with talent do if they are to succeed and the players aknowledge that. If the Belgium sides gets that, then they'll be a top top side.

Pienaar, Drenthe, etc all have done as well as Donovan for us. And they are not world class.

That's all I'm saying. This is actually the kind of off-topicness I vilify Americans for.

With love,

1) you do realize a good chunk of that team isn't 30+, right? And that we are actively trying to find replacements for some of those that are? Don't post if you no idea what the hell you're talking about. I think you also just called the Belgian team lazy.
2) I don't even understand this comment - we on average go off topic when we post - WTF are you talking about? Perhaps you realize you're engaging in the off topic behavior right? And most of the people participating in the discussion are not American.

He's not nearly good enough to justify this ridiculous, never-ending pr*cktease thread.

So don't read it or post in it or ruin it for the rest of us. He comes here in Jan, great. He doesn't, you won't have to hear about it ever again. In the meantime, the rest of us are discussing a rumor that has some legs. Which we do in any of the transfer threads that are on here. Don't understand how this one is different. Could be because the off-topic Americans post in it.

1. You are not reading the thread there mate, we were discussing the quality of the USMNTLOL and it only had decent players over 30. And aging team compared to the up and rising youngsters from Belgium. We were comparing two teams and their playing history of the last ten years came up as well as the current structure of the team. This reflects the person discussed in the thread. LD is very very old, is giving out all the wrong signals, would have an expensive contract and would have no resale value while only giving us quality from depth instead of really enhancing our first eleven. Now quality in depth is all good and well, but there's other positions that need to be addressed and I'm pretty sure we could get similiar quality but with more legs and resale value with the same price. I was all for him earlier, but now we have moved on as a team. Fans should do too.

2. I'm stating in that quote that my ramblings are a bit off topic so I don't understand your point bringing is up. I made a little remark about how there's a few americans who start discussing the always irrelevant states football team and it's players who have no link with us in these threads. It just puts my head in, why in gods name, why? I'm not to continue about this anyway, just felt like I had to get it out of my system last night.

I could probably get 30 goals over 10 years against some of the oposition the USA play to be fair.....

What is "it" Kay?

This thread is different from every other transfer thread because it never fecking ends. It's like the Moutinho or Fernandes running joke... except there's no punchline.

I really, really, really just want us to move on. He's a great player no doubt but he's not worth the teasing or the chase. Perhaps you feel differently as an American and a staunch USMWMTMSJWNRJFFSLAD fan, and that's understandable.

But I'm only arsed about players who play for us for more than 8 games every other year.

Erm , WTF you saying about Moutinho lad?

He's just a sh*t Charlie Adam lad.

Only because nobody checked to see how many assists Puskas and pele had because they knew it was a bollocks stat that meant nothing.

Erm mate, they played before the EPL was formed, thus meaning they are utter trash.

No, that wouldn't be fair. Not one bit fair. England/Belgium/you name it play their own fair share of minnows.

I hesitated to reply, since I wouldn't want to go off-topic, but geez...

Then by all means....stop posting in here and prolonging the thread yourself.

Will Everton go on without him? Absolutely yes. I happen to think he would be a very good addition to the team and would love to see him play here. But if it doesn't happen, then it won't. Everton can and will still be boss. And Landon, by the way, isn't doing the teasing; if he'd have had his way, he would have already been here permanent.
