Landon Donovan considering Real Salt Lake, Eastern Conference Team

The main goal of a veteran is to miss as much of training camp as possible.

 

Landon's good at that.

 

Logical conclusion from this thread: Landon will play a couple of years at Yankee Stadium and be inducted to baseball HoF after his second or third or fourth retirement.

 

your concept of the law is a prison.

mine is a tool.

MLS' history of bending/breaking rules is pretty monumental and i agree they should be more consistent and not do this....but considering the player involved...and all he has done for the sport in this country, it would be a hell of a time for MLS to put their foot down with 'a rule is a rule'....

besides, if MLS wants to break a rule in favor of a player that is one thing....and would 100% not set any type of precedent for MLS to break rules against players.

you portray the situation as if the players cherish the CBA as some sort of holy covenant they must die to protect...

if LD wants to play in MLS this season....MLS should do anything they can to make it happen. period.

the thought of MLS standing in the way of LD playing in MLS this season would be ludicrous.

PS (I think with Bruce arena now as usmnt coach, LD sees russia 2018 as a possibility and that is what is driving his comeback.....and i'm rooting for him....i think the only reason he retired was JK...and i feel sympathy for him so i want MLS to accomodate him...it's not like he'd be a charity case...i'm sure with a proper preseason, he'd be worth every penny any mls team was willing to pay him)

 

Have you seen the law lately?

 

Only rule of law is don't get caught. MLS is supposed to be getting more transparent. This should be the most interesting MLS:Calvinball yet.

 

Interpretation of vague comments from people connected to the team is that the attempt to bring Donovan to Salt Lake has failed. Lots of reasons why that could be.

 

In mathematical terms:

Vague comments from Salt Lake = Lots of reasons why LD would be salty

 

Jermaine Jones isn't a free agent within MLS. LA gave the Rapids the #15 pick in yesterday's SuperDraft and a conditional 2018 second round pick for the rights to Jones.

From right after that Tweet:

Could be fun LD, let's hope this news is the same as my ATL news. 🤞🏽

He's referring to the earlier rumor that he was absolutely bound for Atlanta.

 

#Landon2Rowdies still alive.

We are technically Eastern Conference after all.

 

Why not the Rowdies? You guys were good enough for Freddy Adu, right?

 

Freddy barely saw any playing time, what makes you think Landon would crack the lineup?

Clearly the only rational answer is Cosmos.

This must happen.

 

I read this as you were saying there was a rumor LD was heading to Atlanta. I got really excited.

 

Any news about Landon Donovan?

 

I'm a fan of San Jose Earthquakes and it would be awesome if he went back to Quakes !! But all I want is to see him playing for some MLS team this year.

 

There's gonna be a certain party at the station?

 

No news that we know of. I wish the Galaxy would add him at the last minute - they probably have the cap room!

 

^ She's gonna cry until LD tells her that he'll never roam
