Sir Landon Of Donovan

[scratchnsurf]

Is he here yet?

 

[Kay20]

The question is.

Is he a better winger than Steven Naismith or Magaye Gueye?

This. And the answer is a resounding yes.

But it doesn't matter, he's either coming or not.

On loan or a free, nothing more though. Would be great to have him behind Jelavic, infact exactly what Jela needs to have in terms of service.

You don't think a couple of million transfer (i doubt it would be more than that) for three years of a guaranteed impact and fantastic squad player is worth it ? Bearing in mind we spent a couple of mill on Oviedo and a million on Gueye !

100 million zillion THIS !!

It doesn't matter who's the best out of Donovan pienaar and mirallas. Whichever 2 are performing the best will play the other will be on the bench waiting to make his claim. If one of them is injured you then have someone of equal quality to come into the team instead of a poor squad player.

You also then have the option of playing all 3 of them LW RW ACM and drop fellaini back...

Anyone who doesn't want Donovan is barmy. Not to mention both times he has come to us on loan he has been part of transforming our play/form at that particular time.

With our injury problems, I literally don't understand some of the people in this thread. If we find another player than can rival him, sure, let's consider it. But for an expected cheap fee, I literally don't understand why people are turning this down. We need depth.

Main and most important thing is that unlike most of our subs if Donovan came on with 30 minutes left i wouldn't be hoping he'd play well, i'd know he would. With somebody like Gueye or Naismith coming on nobody is ever exactly comfortable.

If the price is right, it's a no brainer.

Big if though.

Yes, this, this, this.

Everybody over there seems to be resigned to the fact that if Donovan wants to retire now then he will. By that logic i'd say that getting a couple of mill for him rather than just letting him slip into retirement is an obvious choice. I don't think Galaxy really have any cards to play here. If Donovan wants to come, i'm certain he will.

And if he doesn't, close the thread and move on. We will get along without him, though he would be an addition. I'm done speculating, either he's here, or he's not. That's it. I hope he is.

I hope so. Like I said if he's on a reasonable wage and the fee is one we can afford, it's difficult to see any downsides.

If Hitzlsperger is willing to stay until the end of season as cover for Gibson then right wing cover is our second biggest glaring weakness after goalkeeper.

100% this!

 

[Christiffa25]

I'd also add I'm 99% sure Donovan's whole "needs a break/sabbatical maybe retirement lark" is all a ploy to say to MLS I need a break from this league... Let me go and I will come back one day!!
