Sir Landon Of Donovan

Why would I compare Wondo who has done bupkus with the national team nor won championships to the guy that has helped carry our team twice, has 5 MLS Cup rings, and carried his national team for YEARS? The Wondo argument is irrelevant, and is also a grand total of two years (yes, even including his last year).

4th best player? I watched every single LA game this year. His partnership with Robbie Keane - who indeed DID carry LA this year - was instrumental to the team. Of the goals Robbie Keane scored LD assisted on 50%. LD on average provides the majority of LA's chances per game, and creates 3 chances/game, more than any other player - including Robbie Keane - in MLS. And those stats are without taking more than a minuscule amount of LA's dead ball chances.

The whole team sucked in the beginning of the season, I was around for it. Not just LD. All three DPs sucked donkey balls, and all three had a conversation with Bruce Arena.

And for these reasons the US is a foreign land and we should be careful about lauding Donovan too much to come back for a majestic third loan.

Yes he was brilliant in his first spell with us and still good and better than we had in the second but the team is moving on in the last 12 months.
 

Haha!!

Don't necessarily hate him. He did a good job for us. But I hate that this thread is so big for a player who doesn't even play for us.

And we usually know by now if he's coming back. So it's not happening us it?

Yes but there is no way that he will come on a loan deal this time. If he comes it will be a perminate deal so he's got a lot of begging to do to MLS to let him go.

That's why it won't be arranged in advance this time, and I expect it to be a bit of a saga tbh.

Even though we've shown no interest?

Well none I know of anyway this time round.

I mean it might happen but just can't see it.
 
Do we need to show intrest publicly with Donovan??

I imagine everyone involved in any such deal would know all they need to know..

Just my opinion like...

Looking at the facts tho, all Donovan spoke about only six months ago was how he wanted to come back perminately but was going back to LA for this season. And at his age still felt he could offer us a lot. All of a sudden all this ritirememt talk??? Very suspicious don't you think??

Precisely.

Surely the fact that we haven't heard anything makes it more likely, if anything. When was the last time we knew of a transfer weeks in advance ?

Then why do you keep adding length to the thread? Seems counterproductive.
