I don't know if this should be in the "official" thread or not, but Donovan says he will be focusing on the Quakes this year and toning down his off the field commitments: http://www.planetfootball.com/article.asp?id=138062&cpid=218&title=Donovan+thriving+on+pressure
LD's always been good in interviews. once he performs on the field this year, then i'll actually believe him. it's undeniable that last season was definitely a sub-par performance on LD's part. he's way too good to have that kind of a season.
Didn't Frank say he wanted 20 goals out of him this season? If so does this mean LD is setting that as a target for himself this year? If so does that mean we win as many games this year as last year? I think it's yes, yes, and yes.
Who are you guys kidding. Ching will score more.. The real question is; Will Ching hit the net more than Donovan will hit the pitch this season?!
In this morning's game, the hits that he took were legit, he didn't do any of the diving flop-a-dop theatrics. I hope that is a precursor to the season.
