I think Hibbo has been awsome or the last four years tbh - bar the cup final like.

If we got a world class right back I'd be more worried about the world stopping.

Purely purely hypothetical question, but if we do get Donovan back in January, what would you all think about a 3 month loan move for Robbie Keane? I know he played for the shi** for a brief time, but he and Donovan have developed a fantastic chemistry over the past few months. He played very well for Villa in his loan stint last year.

This is not accurate. The MLS season is 34 games. However, he does miss a few for international play and injuries, but that would happen in a 38 season too. In addition, LA plays in CONCACAF Champions League and US Open Cup, which could add anywhere from 4-8 games onto the calendar. Plus, internationals. Trust me, he can hack 38 games, but we won't need him for all 38 if we have depth.
Bingo. Other teams have this ADVANTAGE, and it is one. Let's all remember the big game we had to sacrifice last season, the game we don't like to speak about. Wouldn't have had so much of an issue with actual squad depth.
So everyone who told me it's only up to LD, clearly it isn't.
And I'm pissed at MLS for it.
I know it's a business, but of all the people to screw over, Landon Donovan? C'mon man. That's just poor.
Free Landon!
On that note - this was a recent problem for both Bolton and Stoke City over the sales of Tim Ream and Geoff Cameron. Both were eventually sold after some negotiations. Now, neither are LD, but both were sold.
Wow. Can't believe this is even a possibility. Also, Landon has had an "injury" the last week or so. Now seriously wondering if he's protecting himself for a transfer.

No way will LA let LD go and Keane simultaneously. LA started their season poor, and Bruce Arena partially contributed it to the offseason loans. If Landon's going, Keane's staying.
The two of them have 20 goals and 17 assists this season. Their partnership has been spectacular.

I think he was referring more to Gonzalez getting injured training in Germany. He's let Beckham go on loan twice, and if Keane really wanted to go, I don't think Arena would say no.

Based on all the publicity I've read this year on this matter as a fan of LA, Arena would say no to any player. With that said, if Keane has it in his contract, might not matter with Arena says. (And Beckham is Beckham and not to be used as an example).
If LA proceeds in CCL all of this is moot - Robbie won't go anywhere.

Say what you will. He and Donovan work great together.
They've played together for less than a year.
In a jarg league.
Plus, Keane is a chubby, ageing smoker.

Looked decent enough last time considering he's a chubby, aging smoker. And the league isn't as jarg as you say. It's not great, but the MLS teams play pretty well vs English competition when given a chance.

PS- Is it fun for you to live your life with such negativity? I mentioned it as a hypothetical question, and I made that obvious.
Fair enough, you keep this façade that Robbie Keane could do a job for Everton up and I'll focus on hoping Everton completely overlook him and get someone of a much higher quality in.
And it's not negativity, it's called be a realist.
Robbie Keane is an awful footballer.
