Sir Landon Of Donovan

[dixie7]

This is a no brainer for me as long as the price is right. His record on assists from last season was amazing and he looks like the complete player, plus he can cover left, right or off the striker. Like Kay said if you get injuries or loss of form you need players coming in. If we can get him in now we should, if not then January would be great and give the players/fans a big boost.

ye but look at how many games he plays per season, could he hack a 38 game season, in the MLS he usually averages 27/28 games per season, it a big step up from a 2 month loan deal and expecting him to adapt at the age of 31.

Keep to what works 2 months loan deal in january so we can rotate and rest a few players, a system that has worked before and will work again

Now we have Mirallas I'd be made up to see Landon back. No more than £4m though.

 

[MartSlinger]

Loan in Jan as normal, then perm after the loan. Think a lot of respectable people who know stuff have said many a time that we wont be signing him this window.

 

[LABlue2]

Yes, mate, I am crazy. Now let me fukc your cat.


Actually, I'll rephrase: I don't want Donovan if we have to spend a significantly large amount of money (£4m+) on him.

Agree.

I think we might be in a fortunate position where his contract is expiring and he likes Everton, so we'll be able to get him when otherwise another club could have offered more wages.

The good thing now is that we wouldn't need him to play 38 games. If we can add him to Pienaar, Naismith, Mirallas plus Coleman and at a push Osman we will have.... I'm not sure what it is but other teams would call it squad depth.
I have no doubt we'll see Donovan in an Everton shirt again, personally the sooner the better but if it's january then so be it.

there's probably no doubt Moyesy as tried to sign Donovan permenantly this window with the Rodwell money at his disposal but like many have pointed out, the transfer window for MLS sides as passed and LA Galaxy wouldnt be able to replace him so wouldnt be willing to sell IMO.

Would be great to get him now though and start the season with him, then are team would definitely be shaping up to be a good one!.

 

[tonka1878]

When does the MLS season finish? We could sign and register him before the deadline and loan him straight back to the Galaxy to finish his season. Everyone's happy.

Doesnt it finish october, november time?. Well according to the great "ITK's" on Twitter, weve agreed a fee with LA Galaxy but the MLS are the stumbling block.

The MLS and all teams have 50% rights to player contracts and it's not as easy as buying from the team, you've to go through both the team and the MLS and by all accounts, the MLS are proving hard to deal with and want to keep Donovan over the pond as they dont want to lose his marketing value he brings to the league and country.

The "ITK" claims we want him now and Donovan wants to come now and today LCAB as backed that up, but not said anything about any bids or anything?!.

we will see , would love him here for the start of the season

 

[Number_25]

£3m and I'll have him.

Anything more, and we've been ripped off.

 

[jartyjones]

If Vic goes, then Landon would be a decent signing , LD brings a lot to the squad , and is versatile , a good addition.

 

[BlueToffee95]

Would love him here before september, but think it's a lot more likely to be a perm in Jan.

£5mil or under, a great buy!

 

[D410]

He could be ours if we can do a deal with MLS in the comming days. IMHO

 

[Animal Farm]

The difference he would make would be unreal, we would become one of the best sides in the premier league.

 

[Neiler]

I couldnt take it, years without wingers and then they would be coming out of our ears.
