Watch them every week mate he has done, last time was pre-world cup but he's capable of it.
There's really no reason he couldn't, but no, I've never seen it. At least for an entire match.

Donovan would be a stellar permenant signing. We would get 4, 5 Distin/Neville style years out of him, he is a complete athlete and I'm certain a lack of pace won't hamper his game, and its not even something we have to worry about for at least 18 months. I'd gave him back in an instant. Love the man.
Also the 'I'd rather have Vellios' shouts just made me laugh.
Ok so question....
Lets say (and this is highly probable) that Davie M is told he can sign one player in January...would you want it to be Donovan - proven as a direct positive influence in our team - or someone 'unknown' therefore with a higher risk of not aclimatising to the 'Everton' way e.g. that Ofoe lad?
I have to admit I do have a man crush on LD - mainly due to the fact that he doesnt just play well in our side - he does not shy away from publically telling the world that he loves us.
So lads, unknown quantity or LD?
I think concerns about his age are because many see his pace as his major asset and obviously he's going to slow down as he gets older. He already has lost some pace - he's still speedy, but not what he was at 25 (who is)
On the other hand, he's been injured enough this year, its possible he's not really "floored it" during the games I've seen for fear of re-injury so he only looks to have lost pace.
Regardless, I think his reading of the game, passing, setting up others, etc surpass pace as his better attributes now
Not a single one...I wonder how many of the people saying they're not that bothered about him coming back also said they weren't that bothered about Pienaar coming back.
Would be an interesting study.
