Landon Donovan - a Loan Again, naturally!

Apparently LA Galaxy have made a big U-turn with their stance over Donovan, and will now allow a loan to Everton in January, with the possiblilty of a permanent switch in the summer 2011.

Don't need him now, got Coleman on the right of midfield.

With the extra experience Coleman now has... liking the idea of Coleman - Donovan on the right - with Baines - Pienaar/Billy on the left... with Some combination of Rodwell/Arteta/Fellaini/Cahill/Heitinga/Osman in the middle. Yak/Saha/Anichebe/Vaughan...

When we are all fit jeez we have a squad...

Was only joking, would love to have Donovan back at Goodison Park again if possible.

put your mortgage on it.

Cant see Moyes starting Coleman at right back this season anyway ahead of Neville and Hibbert but would be great for competition down the right between him and Donovan. Certainly gives us lots of options. Role on January. If we are anyway in touch with top 6 by the times he comes back, back us for the title..

Tongue in cheek I know but Champions League place isn't beyond this squad (despite the early season whingeing on here).

BTW, Arsenal have some bloody squad. Every player who played tonight would add to our squad team. Wilshere is going to be massive. As long as he can avoid the temptation to go granny shagging.

I'd have him back. He'd be a good outlet on the rigth wing.

Good plan - I would love to give someone else my mortgage.

I'd really like to have him back btw. Clearly Bily is not up to the task.

DP - How tired are you after everything that has happened this year

LD - Physically I am pretty tired, I think, when you play a lot of games, eventually your body is going to break down a little, but mentally I feel good and when you get to the end it's more exciting because you realise that I think yesterday I was sitting on the bench after practise thinking theres 9 more training sessions this year and two more games so you can deal with that

(talks about tour to Australia after the season, then the World Cup)

DP - What do you do after the season and thoughts of the premiership?

LD - After the season we got I told you we got a trip to Australia and i'm planning on going to Switzerland where hopefully the US is going to be granted the 2022 World Cup, and then I may go to Hawaii, the rest of the time I am going to chill at home and relax and then see where my body is at really and decide if I want to go anywhere in the off-season

DP - Do you want to play in the premiership?

LD - Of course, I love playing, I loved playing there it was incredible but it does me no good if I go there in January already exhausted I played 3 months there, came right back into an MLS season, our world cup qualifying may actually start again next year believe it or not so it does me no good to be tired all year so I gotta be smart about it

Thanks MC.

Not sure we need the guy anymore. If he wants to come, then it needs to be for a price beneficial to ourselves. Loan deals are unlikely I feel.

He adds pace to our team somthing we are clearly lacking and Peanuts is clearly going so sign him up!!!!

I didn't think he was that quick to be honest.
If he is, then even better.

guaranteed. Plus it keeps Peanuts on his toes.

One tired Donovan is worth twenty Bily's.

Sign him!

Maybe Billy would be interested in a swap deal? Donovan + £5m ?

Would that deal indicate that Bily is worth something?

Nailed on.

Agreed - and a full time deal. Means he can help look after his kid, too.
