407 pages on a player that isnt coming here, who is he going to replace mirallas or pienaar?
would of liked him here as back up incase pienaar went to the ACON, now he is staying no interest what donavon gets up to.

if he was 25/26 could of kept him for a few years and then sold him, but at 30 no thanks, enough of the team are 30+ and he would be a bench player anyway

because being able to sell a player on is far more important than if he can help us win something or finish higher. please.
 
thats the thing he isnt needed, would be a squad player if he came,

Question ... When super Kev got hurt and Gueye had to come in, would you rather have Donovan or Gueye??? How much better would it be if we actually had 3 starters on the wing to choose from? Seriously...

That is very debatable. Donovan's assist ratio remains far better than anything Mirallas has ever produced.

I can't be arsed getting into an argument about who is better, but it is by no means given that either one of them would keep the other one sitting idly on the bench. They would both stake a claim for a starting place, and could very easily end up starting the same game.
 
If Kevin has done his hammy (4-6 weeks) then we better get on the blower.

4-6 weeks would mean he was back before Xmas?? Window not open til Jan. I love Landon, but we don't need him on loan with Kev fit. If we sign him it needs to be perm or no dice IMO
 
We need Landon back in this squad.

As said perm deal tho needed this year.

Naismith is not good enough as a replacement. A squad player yes but not a important one IMO.
 

Not just a wide player backup

LD would be a HUGE upgrade from the bench. If ANY of our top 7 guys go down we are in trouble. LD gives us tremendous versatility. If Jely/Fellaini goes down, Mirallas goes up and LD goes wide. If Osman goes down, LD is a great replacement. If Pienaar goes down, Mirallas to the left with LD to the right. If any combination goes down, he can play as an attacking middy in the center as well.
