Sir Landon Of Donovan

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.

I did not know this...
 
LCAB was still confident he was coming back last time i asked him.

We'll see.

When did you last ask him Brennan? Sometime recent?

LD and Bruce are having "the talk" this weekend and we'll see a few stories next week as camp starts.

Guarantee there will be a report on Monday on whether or not he's in camp.
 
Read the rest of THT's thread - the original deal in August was for 1M pounds. Theoretically he'd be cheaper than that now. THT threw out 300K pounds.
 

You would have thought this story would get more press, you know, if its true like.

The same media that was convinced he wasn't going on loan to us last year up until he went on loan? After the Beckham incident LD runs a tight ship.
 

Mexican media reporting he wants to leave LA rather than retire, but Sunil Gulati (president of the USSF) says he had lunch with him and think he will return to LA. Hmmm....
 
He makes only about 25K/week UK at LA Galaxy. He was never retiring before 2014 and his earning potential is dropping so he wanted out with an chance to make a final Pinnear money contract.
