Toffees 'to land Donovan'

[JDB]

Big Player.... going to do very well..

Howard

Neville
Jagielka
Distin
Baines

Donovan
Fellani
Arteta
Bilyaletdinov

Saha
Cahill

Bench: GK, Neil, Heitinga, Yobo, Hibbert, Gosling, Rodwell, Coleman, Yakubu, Jo

When Everton have a full strength team they will give teams a good game.. Unfortunately they always have bad luck with injuries

Rodwell and Coleman...2 exciting prospects

Pienaar is one of teh top 3 players at Everton, if not best player and he ent even make your squad? Witha  fully fit side Donovan will bench, unless he could displace Cahill as a 2nd striker. He not displacing Pienaar or Bilyaletdinov from the flanks.

[Peong]

I remember after they got knocked out of 2002 WC he was on MTV's TRL.
They ask him to juggle a ball and he couldn't make more than 3.
He tried several times, but it wasn't happenin.
I doh know if he was havin an off day or was drunk or what but I never see a player of that stature havin problems jugglin.

[Spursy]

Donavon quality player, he made Concacaf proud in the Conderations cup.

[Observer]

Oliver Bierhoff team mates in Italy were astonished that he could not juggle past 5. Yet he use to score goals at every level for fun.

That must be embarassing though.

Donovan didn't say it, Touches did. If you can decipher the paragraph, it's a general rant about all the things said in this thread. Each set of elipses denotes a separate argument.

Under all that talk...most if not all of alyuh going and chook him een alyuh fantasy league squad.

Donovan good...in fact he better than everybody on the current TT team.

Doh hate on him cause he is a yank or he hairline receding.

If I could score at any level I wouldn't be embarrassed about not being able to juggle nah 

[dwn]

Donovan is a good player and Everton not exactly lighting it up, so you never know. The man might do well. But given what people tend to say about taking time to adjust to the EPL, 3 months might not be enough for the man to get any kind a rhythm. And then he will just end up looking like a man who can't do nothing outside of MLS (on club level, that is). He done have that rep after his Germany stints.

The difference is that Donovan will not miss any of the Galaxy's season due to his loan. That was not the case with Beckham's loan last season, and one of the reasons for the animosity.

And by the way, every time that the USA has played T&T Kenwyne has been a non-factor, and Donovan has torn your defense to shreds.

Not the last time in P-O-S.

[Touches]

Just to clarify...is me who say Donovan better than everyone on the current TT team.

Current...so Yorke ent dey, neither Latapy...but he better than everyone else.

If I had to choose between Jones and Donovon on a side is Donovon any day of the week.

If Jones ent get service...he is useless.

Donovon on the other hand does make thing happen.

Kiffy he better than Bleedah by a mile. Doh hate on the man cause he is a Yankee. He is a proven player and he have the full tool kit. Speed, bullet, control, freekick, dribble and most of all he have ball sense. (something plenty players lacking)

Put him in yuh fantasy squad kiffy...yuh might get some points.

I used to HATE on donovan for years...In fact I ent like Donovan really....but I giving Jack he jacket...the man is a Baller and he good.

[Brownsugar]

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh boy Kiffy ah goh give it to yuh....Bleeder should be glad to have a man like you in he corner......in fact I glad yuh on the forum....yuh have good comic timing.....

Bleeder better than Donovan.....oh lordy.....

Everton close in on Landon Donovan loan signing

Everton say they have agreed a "deal in principle" to sign LA Galaxy striker Landon Donovan on a two-and-a-half-month loan starting in January.

The 27-year-old is set to join the Toffees on 2 January and would be available until mid-March.

"You want to go where you are wanted," said Donovan.

So what if Beckham missed the first month of the Galaxy's season?  Donovan's spot in Bradley's lineup has never been in question, Beckham's spot in Capello's lineup was.  The problem is that soccer fans in the US, LA in particular aren't sufficiently familiar with loan arrangements and so they were lashing out in ignorance... fed in part by the ignorance and misinformation that was being spread in the media ("David Beckam doesn't want to return to LA... he says he wants to stay in Milan").  They played it out as though Beckham was reneging on his promise to commit to the growth of the sport here.

Utter foolishness.

[Blue]

Lez be honest, MLS is $hit, whether he misses any of it or not is irrelevant, the man is making a step in the right direction.

[Zeppo]

So what if Beckham missed the first month of the Galaxy's season? 

First month? Try the first 4 months. He missed over half the regular season.

And that wasn't "misinformation" from the media that Beckham wanted to stay in Milan. He said it himself quite clearly:

Do you mean better than or more successful? And we can argue that cause I putting Scotland technique up against his. I also putting Scotland successes with wigan up against the Galaxy. The only area Donovan may excel against Scotland is the National team and the physical aspects of the game.

Try again.

Take a look at the date of that article.  At the end of the first loan deal, before he sought to extend it he clearly indicated his intent on returning to MLS.  It was only after the extension talks began that the controversy erupted over him missing the MLS season which hadn't even begun yet.  This article was from a full month before opening kick.

Beckham also returned to LA in June... season started in March, he missed two months.  In that time he was regaining the form that propelled him and LA to the title game this year.  For all the bullshit that Landon Dumbovan had to say about him, Beckham was the class of that team... not that they'd ever admit it, not wanting to upset Landycakes.

But whatever, let him stay with LA where it's nice and comfortable and where he can waddle in mediocrity, best of a bad lot.

Wrong. The controversy began as early as January when Beckham stated how he wanted to permanently transfer to AC Milan. And it was not media "misinformation" as you claimed, but rather something that he clearly stated in that article. Again, from BBC:

Beckham was scheduled to return to Galaxy on 9 March, but wants to make a permanent move to the San Siro.

That is when the fans started to turn on him.

Beckham also returned to LA in June... season started in March, he missed two months.

Wrong again. The MLS season kicked off on March 19th and Beckham showed up for his first game on July 16th.

http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20090716&content_id=5899842&vkey=news_mls&fext=.jsp

That would mean that he missed four months -- over half of the regular season. And there's really no need for you to keep making shit up.
