Someone apparently trying to mess with Landon and the Galaxy! Earvin Magic Johnson @neatguyonline I'm excited to announce that Landon Donovan has joined us as minority owner of @LAFC. A great soccer mind to help build a great soccer team.
FROM THE OTHER THREAD, AND YES I'M YELLING: Kevin BaxterVerified account@kbaxter11 Yes @landondonovan is returning to the #LAGalaxy announcement could come as early as today. And Nigel de Jong's move was central to the deal
I heard the rumor earlier, and this is the first thread I've opened. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Grown man as giddy as a schoolgirl......
Alexi Lalas @AlexiLalas 13m13 minutes ago Yes, @landondonovan qualifies under current @MLS CBA as free agent (didn’t at the time he retired.) That’s why he can sign with @LAGalaxy.
Grant Wahl @GrantWahl 17m17 minutes ago Story on Landon Donovan's return to LA Galaxy. Just for the rest of this year (for now), not a DP, could play Sunday http://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2016/09/08/landon-donovan-return-la-galaxy-retirement-mls
This describes exactly how I'm feeling. I'm calling all my friends to let them know. At least one of them has to care right?!?! Right!?!?
OK, the important questions - what number will be on his shirt? And can I get it with LegenD as the name on the back?
L A Times . . http://www.latimes.com/sports/soccer/la-sp-donovan-20160908-snap-story.html Landon Donovan, who retired after leading the Galaxy to a Major League Soccer title in 2014, is returning to the team. Two sources who were unable to speak on the record confirmed Donovan’s return to the Galaxy and said the signing could be announced as early as Thursday. Donovan has not been training regularly with the Galaxy first team so it’s unknown when he might be ready play in his first game. Donovan is the all-time MLS leader in goals and assists. He is also the leading scorer in U.S. national team history. Donovan, 34, cited burnout when he retired from soccer six months after being cut from the U.S. national team by Coach Juergen Klinsmann ahead of the 2014 World Cup. He is still eligible for selection to the national team.
Not a fan of this if it's just for this season. Let this season play out no reason to desperately try and resurrect it
Play as early as Sunday?!?! (or did Grant put that in his article to basically ensure some nice ratings for FS1 on Sunday) Someone at FS1 better be spinning up a promo. (don't think he's playing as early as Sunday) (if he does play, I'll be watching from Croatia come hell or high water - which I would have been doing anyway, but hey, more incentive)
Might depend on how the game is going. Up a goal in the 80th minute … make that up 3 goals in the 80th minute and we might see a cameo so LD can get his “sea legs” so to speak. Although who knows, someone got a photo of him training with the team today (?) there were some posts last week of him handling a training session for the Academy team, maybe he’s fitter than expected.
OH HELL YEAH! That whooshing sound you just heard was Wonodlousy's hopes of beating Donovan's MLS career goals record getting deflated like a fat kid puncturing a hole in a bouncy castle.
Can't wait to here this.......LA GALAXY GOALLLLLLLLLL scored in the 90th minute by number 26 LANDON LANDON LANDON Thank you!!
