It's deserved. And it's probably time to move on to one of those fancy European leagues we are hearing so much about. It doesn't have to be for a g14 team, either. Actually, I think Donovan would be better off going somewhere with a little less pressure. He's struggled in Germany, so he should stay the hell out of there. He's been homesick in the past, so it probably should be somewhere that feels like home.
To me, that means London. West Ham, anyone (he says without even a hint of a rumour). Something like that anyway.
First things first, however, the Team With The Horrible Name awaits Sunday in the MLS Cup final.

maybe Sven can entice him to join Notts
that would be a laugh
"Actually, I think Donovan would be better off going somewhere with a little less pressure"
So the capital city of the most watched league in the world would be less pressure than Germany? If The Hammers are relegated this season I would agree but not in the EPL.
Landon has tried Germany and it is obvious that he hasn't been successful there. If it is the pressure I don't think that the EPL would help that problem. Donovan wouldn't fit in Spain or Italy in my opinion and he is too good for the leagues like Belgium.
Ligue 1 might be the best fit. The competition skill level is still high while the spotlight isn't quite as big as the other top European leagues.
Donavon would fit just fine in Spain...the yellow submarine could use a player like him...he speaks Spanish fluently which is a massive bonus and a reason he would fit great!
Remember, Landycakes has failed in Germany not once, but twice. He's not cut out for it. He has skills, yes, but he's an MLS player period.
There would be no point in shipping him to England to play for Oldham Athletic, Leeds, or some other first division team.
League Un, in my opinion, is a training ground for up-and-coming players, a route one for skilled North African players into the top leagues. Landy is past that point in his career.
Landon is a good player in the MLS, one of the best. He fits well here and should stay here.
Cheers,
Sean
