“Look what I picked up in the sales”

Despite ‘hinting’ to the contrary a few weeks ago, LA Galaxy forward Landon Donovan has now moved to put the kibosh on rumours of him re-joining Everton on loan in January as, to put it bluntly, he’s friggin’ knackered.

Speaking to Galaxy’s official site, Donovan said:

“While I enjoyed my time at Everton last season and still appreciate all the support their fans have given me, I feel that it is important to continue to rest and recover this off-season as opposed to going on loan.

“I never considered being loaned to a club other than Everton, but I have been playing nearly non-stop for the past two years and I believe that this decision will allow me to perform at my best for the Galaxy and the national team throughout the upcoming year.”

So there you go, now get out of here.

    Everton could really do with Landon back in the ranks. Help restore the winning mentality the team carried 12 months ago with that fantastic 5/6 month spell. With Nuts looking more and more likely to disappear come January this is very disappointing news.

    Am I right in thinking Pienaar = Peanuts = ‘Nuts’?

    correct chris

    Class player class man, way too good for the MLS and even as an everton fan too good for us. He should be on real’s radar.

  5. mark says:

    if someone wants him, they are going to have to buy him, and he’s not going to be cheap.

  6. Montesquieu says:

    Hasn’t this been his fourth attempt in Europe? At least this time he realises that he’s not good enough to play overseas.
