i think people are putting 2 and 2 together with the lampard rumours and automatically thinking landon is off . but it does seem landon is not very happy with the mls for some reason, wether they have blocked a move for him coming to us in the past or seem to want to hang on to him and he is ready to move on ?
Did you see the rest of THT's post? He was supposed to come in August and LA/MLS reneged. It makes me so mad.
That deal going down the way it did also explains a ton about Landon's year.
I suspect he didn't want to come back in February, and LA may have made a deal then: come back to us in March for CCL, we'll let you go in August.
He says ok, but comes back and plays indifferent knowing his heart is elsewhere. He and Bruce Arena have a talk, US team rejuvenates him, he goes on a tear with LA. Come August he's looking forward to his move, and then the rug gets yanked out from underneath him. That leads to his depressed spiral towards the end of the year.
Boy, does this make a ton of sense now (total hypothesis on my part).
It makes me mad for us though thinking of all those games we could have had him in for Naismith - and if we had him maybe Mirallas wouldn't have got injured because we would have had more rotation options.
UGH. For the love of God (and the US national team), just let him go to Everton.
