Landy cakes to everton
Apparently landy cakes is going to Everton:

Everton are expected to sign USA international Landon Donovan on a three-month loan deal in January.
Dont know what Cahill will think as they are similar players....
Yet another reason for the Liverpool supporters to hate the Toffees, if true.
My heart goes out to Everton fans.

I hope this is true, it'll be much more entertaining than him flailing and failing in Mexico.
This will be interesting…MLS MVP shops his wears in the EPL?
Toffee's will take a right roasting on the board but if your Moyes, why not? It'll cost you bugger all…and its obvious something needs shaken at Goodison…Everton are two point from the drop zone…FFS!

Here's an interesting question for those who pay more attention than I...
Who would you rather have: Eddie Johnson or Landon Donovan?
So this is like the Beckham gig?! Another blow to MLS credibility?

Fuck Landycakes.
That is all.
Landon for sure. Eddie Johnson is not nearly as skilled.... I always thought Johnson seemed like a great athlete without the refined skills. Sometimes he also seemed lazy. Landon is just as fast, if not faster, more skilled, has better vision, works hard etc.Originally Posted by MartinUtd
If Landon didn't sniff his wrists before penalties or do funny photo shoots or act like a douchebag in interviews he'd be OK with me!!
I'm not a big fan of Landycakes and his antics on the pitch but I wouldn't be surprised if he plays well at the premiership level with a far superior supporting cast. It's a worthwhile gamble for Everton given their situation...
he looked terrible in germany when i saw him play.
just wasn't connecting with any of the playing at all.
landy cakes sucks.
hes such a priss
Landon Donavan is the best player in CONCACAF.
Just because he's a douchebag doesn't negate the fact.
are you implying club or country?

Both.
Really which player in this region is better?
WTF? You're out to lunch dude.
Their are PLENTY of better players in CONCACAF.
JDG played in La Liga.
Rafael Marquez also in La Liga, playing for Barcelona.
David Suazo, playing in Milan in Seria A.
Those ones I can think of off the top of my head. But best player in the US, ya, I'd say that's likely true. But CONCACAF, no. The Mexican squad alone has LOTS of better players.
He wasn't able to cut it in the Bundesliga, how would he be able to cut it in the EPL? But if he's able to do so this time, good for him.
Except Landy Cakes has consistently put up numbers and lead the US team. Everyone knocks Landon Donovan without ever recognizing the fact that he's a dominant force on the pitch when he plays his best. He is, undoubtedly, a better player than Julian De Guzman. Sorry I have to say it. He gets paid less than JDG for one reason alone, and that is he's never made that big jump.
But just because you've played in Europe does not mean you're better than a player who's spent most of his career in Major League Soccer. If that was the case Gerba would be better than 90% of the strikers in MLS, which he has yet to prove.
I would put Donovan as the best American player in history and as CONCACAF's current best player. He'd be without a doubt that player if the rest of the US side could play up to his level.
And why hasn't he made the jump? Because he's NOT good enough. Plain and simple.
Lets say for a min that Landycakes is better then JDG (who was voted as the best player on his club last year), how can you say Landycakes is better then Marquez, playing for arguably the best club in the world.
David Suazo, Wilson Palacios, Carlos Vela, Rafa Marquez, Gerardo Torrardo, Gio Dos Santos, Kenwyne Jones, Clint Dempsey, JDG, Ricardo Fuller.

Yup. He's a better player than all of these guys. Sorry. Don't get blinded by your hatred for him.
And to be quite honest, some of your choices are laughable.
JDG was Deportivo's player of the year for the 07/08 season. You are living in the past. He could barely get on the pitch during the 08/09 season for them.And why hasn't he made the jump? Because he's NOT good enough. Plain and simple.

I'm talking about current form here, not 2 seasons ago.
Landy better than Kenweyne Jones?????????????? Child Please.
Is Jones going to play in next years World Cup?
hmmm what exactly is your arguement???? He comes from an island of 1.3 million people. Instead of wasting his time in MLS he's playing in the best league of the world developing a recognized partnership with Darren Bent but I won't be suprised if you don't know who that is.
LOL. I know who Bent is.
I'm talking about club and country here. You're telling me Jones' 2 goals in 30 national team matches outshines Donavan?
Methinks somebody likes a player a lot simply because of his background.
Yeah, let's never mind the fact he got discouraged when he was younger, showed a little bit of brilliance in the few games he was used in recently on his loan (then was dropped when the manager changed, very very difficult to become accustomed to your new surroundings when you don't get to play) and has basically chosen to stay in MLS due to family concerns.And why hasn't he made the jump? Because he's NOT good enough. Plain and simple.

You picked on one part of something that was not really part of the argument and attacked it. Congratulations, you still have not addressed the fact that he's quality.

By your logic, players like Gerba are better on the pitch than Donovan because they played in Europe for a significant period of time.
And JDG, I like that we have him, but he's simply not as good as Donovan.
If you gave me a choice between the two, I'd take Donovan any day of the week. He compelled the US to the final against Brazil and was the key instrument in all their wins, using his vision and creativity to create chances for the team.
You challenge his ability to compete at the highest level and I will challenge your football intelligence. You obviously do not watch the USMNT and have no appreciation for the role Donovan plays. Without Donovan, the USMNT wouldn't ever beat Mexico.
He has competed at the highest level, the international level, and has acquitted himself of your charges. Is he a douchebag? I don't think so, but you do. I actually like the player.
Don't let your hatred blind yourself to his skill.
Your telling me that Donovan is a better player than Jones and I'm flabbergasted.
