He's not merely playing with others at his level: he improves the team. it must be crazy for Landon- he comes over in the middle of our winter, beats the best teams in the country, has a dabble in Europe, then packs his bags to go home!
Yeah, to all of those who think landon is a fake, you have no clue. He had a bad experience in Germany when he was younger, and when players aren't happy they don't play well. He has also said multiple times that he is happy playing in the MLS, here in America. Also, he's the US leading national team scorer. As in the team that beat Spain in the confed cup....GO USA
thats so sweet he just pulls up and gets autographs, he is a really great american player playing in MLS, but he should stay Everton full year, glad he's on loan now
If US want to reach the next level, it's simply about playing with top level athletes. Donovan is our golden boy and if he doesn't play full time in Europe and decides to retire in MLS, then that's a waste of talent. And this is coming from someone who lives in the South Bay, 10 minutes away from the Home Depot Center, where I've had the privilege of watching Landon grow through LAG and USMNT.
You guys the only reason why Landon is staying in the US is because he wants to promote US soccer. If not that why else would he want to stay in the MLS
@xxwatermanxx coming from an american soccer fan, you're 100% right. we need our top guys, as well as our up and coming stars, playing and training in Europe.
@panchitaforever he is the US's best player and play for the LA Galaxy because he's loyal to them and has been an important member of the squad for years, not because he's not good enough to play in Europe.
for those saying he should go to the premier league for better competition I have 2 points to make. 1) Yes he would have better competition it would make him a better player and help the mens team for his preparation. on the other hand 2) Landon is staying in the MLS to help promote soccer or (Futbol) in the U.S. how is the MLS going to get better if all our stars leave? Hes always said he wanted to be the grandfather of the MLS he wants to help the game of soccer by promoting it to his people
im thinking LA galaxy win the 2011 MLS cup @ home in November, just in time for the January transfer window back to England, back to Everton where he needs to be... not rotting away in MLS coming from a MLS fan
@callofdutyguy9 you make a good point but i think that if landon could go back to everton, the long term benefits to MLS may be better because US kids will see that football is a valid option to the other recognised US sports.
FYI @panchitaforever Landon signed with Bayer Leverkusen at age 18 then decided to come back home. Also loaned to Bayern Munich last season. Will be picked up by either Chelsea or Villareal next season
@RICH08XX seriously, are you saying that landon couldnt beat arshavin ( the player who most under performed this season) to a starting place? and what is "the way everton play"
@pacmanghostx i think he really wants to go to everton, but i agree... his style would be great for arsenal. i also think he would fit in well in la liga. his spanish is very good too.
He needs to go back to Everton... and this is coming from an L.A Galaxy fan... his talent is wasted here in the MLS.. he needs to play with players that are at his level or better... he needs to be challenged... but I migght just be saying this beause I'm a bigger USMNT fan than a Galaxy fan.. and I think we'd have a better chance in 2014 if he plays in the EPL... Hope he doesn't go to Man City though, Man U on the other hand...
I really wish he could have stayed at Everton.....I'm sorry LA fans but he is a great US player but it would be better if he moved to a club in Europe, preferably England. Just look at Brian McBride....That guy played in the MLS and then he went to Fulham and he became better for the USMNT.
Man City already HAVE millions of dollars of talent wasting away on the bench, if Landon goes there, they'll treat him the same way. That being said, he should really go back to Everton....COYB!
PLEASE STAY IN EVERTON!!! DONOVAN!!! WE NEED YOU!!!! WAHHHHHHH!!!!!! IM NOT GONNA STOP CRYING TIL YA STAY OVER IN EVERTON!!! just kiddin but seriously think about staying at everton
He was never going to return for a second spell, the place is a hole, they have poor players, bitter fans, no future, they'll be in the championship within the next 3 years.
im not a troll but when am i gonna see an american playinig in the champions league as a starter. a country with 300 mil people and mexicans a large minority and no one play in the most prestigious club competition. that means there is something wrong with how soccer is organized in the us not hat there are not good talents.
@utdfordouble your talking rubbish there mate, i can step out of my front door and kick a ball at evertons stadium at the end of my street, i've never been mugged. but if you come down here, you will.
why did you go back to la galaxy mang everton was the right place for you hope he gets back to europe cause thats where he belongs hes better then dempsey
why if he is "a great football player " why don't still playing there ? because he is a fake a comercial fake, he isnt a great player , if he would be a great player, then a great team had been signed him , long time ago
He's not merely playing with others at his level: he improves the team. it must be crazy for Landon- he comes over in the middle of our winter, beats the best teams in the country, has a dabble in Europe, then packs his bags to go home!
This guy is a legend. 10 games and lovd by the fans, if only more pros were like McBride and Donovan.
Great player, proved my opinion wrong and worn our royal blue jersey with pride, wouldn't mind him back next season, if not all the best to him!
Yeah, to all of those who think landon is a fake, you have no clue. He had a bad experience in Germany when he was younger, and when players aren't happy they don't play well. He has also said multiple times that he is happy playing in the MLS, here in America. Also, he's the US leading national team scorer. As in the team that beat Spain in the confed cup....GO USA
what a great video!! Gotta love LD, what a class act!
thats so sweet he just pulls up and gets autographs, he is a really great american player playing in MLS, but he should stay Everton full year, glad he's on loan now
we're to proud to let him go, hes the face of american soccer, we all fell in love with HIM, and he knows that. which is why he wont leave
Landon is amazing! He's right, he can play anywhere against anyone!
He's an incredible player!!!!
Was great video to see of the American Donovan great stuff!
If US want to reach the next level, it's simply about playing with top level athletes. Donovan is our golden boy and if he doesn't play full time in Europe and decides to retire in MLS, then that's a waste of talent. And this is coming from someone who lives in the South Bay, 10 minutes away from the Home Depot Center, where I've had the privilege of watching Landon grow through LAG and USMNT.
Deffo miss Landon. Great vid.
He should really come back to Goodison, Everton is waiting for you...
He can drive a right-sided car!?!? This guy is talented...
Bianca better not mess with his head...
Never rated him until i saw him at everton, looked like one of their better players when he was there.
Go Landon
Go Galaxy
Go Everton
really good video I would love more like this it is really good
You guys the only reason why Landon is staying in the US is because he wants to promote US soccer. If not that why else would he want to stay in the MLS
@xxwatermanxx coming from an american soccer fan, you're 100% right. we need our top guys, as well as our up and coming stars, playing and training in Europe.
i love landon donovan
great video
christ we need him back
@panchitaforever he is the US's best player and play for the LA Galaxy because he's loyal to them and has been an important member of the squad for years, not because he's not good enough to play in Europe.
i hope he goes back to europe he did so well in the EPL
Love how Moyes pronounces "Clint" in this vid...
Landon you should really go back to Everton. Even if you are a little kinda old :P you would be a great player there like how you played on your loan
for those saying he should go to the premier league for better competition I have 2 points to make. 1) Yes he would have better competition it would make him a better player and help the mens team for his preparation. on the other hand 2) Landon is staying in the MLS to help promote soccer or (Futbol) in the U.S. how is the MLS going to get better if all our stars leave?

im thinking LA galaxy win the 2011 MLS cup @ home in November, just in time for the January transfer window back to England, back to Everton where he needs to be... not rotting away in MLS coming from a MLS fan
Cracking player, and only 27. Hopefully he'll sign up for three years with the Blues. He's got all of his thirties to play in the MLS.
Class! Come Home Landon - COYB
Landon needs to get back to the premiership. US soccer is never going to get to the next level if our best players are stuck in MLS.
I wish he would quit the MLS and just move back to Everton. Timmy and Landon on the same team is awsome
Welcome back to everton Donovan! Hopefully you realise you love it and sign permanently! COYB
@callofdutyguy9 you make a good point but i think that if landon could go back to everton, the long term benefits to MLS may be better because US kids will see that football is a valid option to the other recognised US sports.

Nice one Landon. Come back soon.
@mmamilano hahahaha class what about the rangy @ 7:18 scoping everything out making sure its not the bizzies lol
@RICH08XX seriously, are you saying that landon couldnt beat arshavin ( the player who most under performed this season) to a starting place? and what is "the way everton play"
@pacmanghostx i think he really wants to go to everton, but i agree... his style would be great for arsenal. i also think he would fit in well in la liga. his spanish is very good too.
Donovan!!!!!!! Lets Go for FIFA World Cup Gold!!!!! Go USA!
He is going back to Everton
He needs to go back to Everton... and this is coming from an L.A Galaxy fan... his talent is wasted here in the MLS.. he needs to play with players that are at his level or better... he needs to be challenged... but I migght just be saying this beause I'm a bigger USMNT fan than a Galaxy fan.. and I think we'd have a better chance in 2014 if he plays in the EPL...

@stefancelmare21 There was a player on PSV that was doing it bro, next year it would be Friedel
utter class. his talents are wasted in america.
@TBSammy182SxE yeah or if he would go to Fulham that would have been nice, or Tottenham to replace Pavlychenko or peter Crouch
BACK TO EVERTON! Round 2 . .
@eddiemate741 is it official?
@FerteenOfficial As an American who supports Arsenal, I might just crap my pants if Donovan become a Gunner.
Come back to everton!!
I LOVE THIS GUY!! (no homo)
@EaglesFreak416 he is not good enough for chelsea but a great player
he should come to arsenal.
He is likely going t go to Chelsea!
He was never going to return for a second spell, the place is a hole, they have poor players, bitter fans, no future, they'll be in the championship within the next 3 years.
im not a troll but when am i gonna see an american playinig in the champions league as a starter. a country with 300 mil people and mexicans a large minority and no one play in the most prestigious club competition. that means there is something wrong with how soccer is organized in the us not hat there are not good talents.
As we say," a no brainer." Hey, we use that in the states ya dingus!

@utdfordouble your talking rubbish there mate, i can step out of my front door and kick a ball at evertons stadium at the end of my street, i've never been mugged. but if you come down here, you will.
He's a very good player but bloody hell he is boring
if he would be a great player , then a great team had signed him long time ago, for less he still in everton or in another english team, he is a fake
why did you go back to la galaxy mang everton was the right place for you hope he

What a waste of his talent to stay at MLS total utter waste of talent.
why if he is "a great football player " why don't still playing there ? because he is a fake a comercial fake, he isnt a great player , if he would be a great player, then a great team had been signed him , long time ago
U.S. Soccer (Fútbol) is a joke !
