Before his first loan wasn't that?
Yes. IIRC (from Grant Wahl maybe??) the loan wouldn't have happened without a new contract.

People just miss the point, says the 24-year-old California native. I just want to be happy. If Im happy, I can play with anybody in the world.
I think we're a few years too late... I love Landon he's a great player and all but.... (don't want to belittle the MLS here) EPL is a much higher standard of play... Sure in short spells he's shown he'd be a great signing. I'm not sure he'd show the same form over a season though (don't expect players to be on form all season but you catch my drift). Realistically how long can we see him lasting? How do we know he won't end up like Cahill? God forbid a Neville.....
I like how he gets Everton though, it's really nice to see.
You have to look at our record when he is in the line up and when he isn't. The fact is he would help this team. Yes the buy wouldn't net us on a resell if that would ever happen but he helps the team now. Especially when we are making a push for Europe. Another thing to consider why he does well for us is that when he is here he doesnt have to be the man. He can simplify his game which highlights his strengths. While he is slowing down he still has good pace and a very good work rate, plus he is very smart on the ball. Another bonus is he provides depth for forward, both wings and as an attacking midfield.
My hope is he wants out and asks for it from the Galaxy. They know he has paid his dues for the team and the league lets him go for a reasonable fee. The galaxy then can get younger and buy a new DP with his open slot.
Your points are valid especially about not having to be the man, I was thinking out loud really. I'm not really convinced he'd be a striker in this league though, I could never see him leading the line if Jelavic or Victor were injured. I would much prefer Vellios to start getting sub appearances, knowledge around here is him and Moyes must've had a falling out. better than signing someone like Mcfadden again in regards to Donovan though....
Does anyone have our record when Donovan has played?
I'm not against Donovan by the way. I just think it may have been better had we tried to get him earlier, finances eh?
I think he should just buy out his contract personally. Everyone knows he wants to leave, much like Modric last season for Spurs (was obviously already planning out his house in Madrid, while still giving 100% to the team). I can't see the MLS letting the superstar of their native country going easy.
What falling out? First I've read about this? Knowledge around where? Goodness I hope not! I'd love for him to come back in January and stay on a permanent deal.
