Sir Landon Of Donovan

[Christiffa25]

Loan him, we need the bodies really. Could start or be an impact sub. Also, soften him up for when his contract expires...

I don't see us going for a loan this time. I think it will be all or nothing unless major injuries combined with a unrealistic transfer fee come into play.

IMO Donovan and valdis in January would finish the squad off nicely and should be realistic business for us to do.

 

[ijjysmith]

I have nothing to back up this claim....

BUT

He's gonna sign - I'm sure of it - on loan in jan.

Possibly. Suppose his price won't be astronomical considering his contract situation. I'd probably prefer a permanent signing at CM than a more attack minded player though.

Donovan and Ofoe would change us into a squad which should be able to cope with a few injuries and still be playing at practically the same level.

Anybody who doesn't want Landon back is insane! What if Pienaar/Mirillas etc go missing in a game?

gueye and oviedo(don't know how good he is yet might turn out to be maradona for all i know)/naismith we are lacking strength in depth a bit.

That's presuming we go back in for Vadis. I'd love it if that was the case, we'd have our strongest team in years.

 

[Brennan]

This. It doesn't matter if we have pienaar mirallas ect ect... It's a squad game these days and rotation is needed. There's also games when mirallas will be off his game.. I'd rather Landon coming on than guaye. Injuries and fatigue we could not cope with and sustain are lofty posistion and good performances.

The more quality additions the better... And if we make Europe like is hoped, we will need more quality players.

Donovan is ace, he's as close to a guaranteed performer as you'll get without spending megabucks.

This. If we get players in January with the hopes of actually acheiving something this season we need to get players in who can slot in straight away, and there are many better options than Donovan right now.

Long term planning is great but depending on where we are in Jan we might need to look short term in order to help us in the long run.

Yeeep.

I'm all for using the youth, but if you're 1-0 up away against Chelsea and Pienaar has gone down injured i'd much rather bring Donovan on than Gueye.

Would be Oviedo probably. Or Naismith with Kev switching flanks.

 

[Neiler]

Anyone else see the Davey article were he said hes trying Belg Kev out on the right side "prob not his natural position" and sees him moving more central in the future.

A front three behind Niko of :

Don - Belg Kev- Pienaar

1-0 up at Chelsea.
