Donovan rumor confirmed: A 2.5 mo. loan to Everton

Re: Donovan rumors?

The difference is that his contract expires after this season.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

That would make a big difference.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

well this is gonna cause YA to be very busy probing for the next two weeks.... I think he's off. Hopefully to PSG

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

Then I might as well get in on the ground floor. I'll vote for ... Spain.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

Not really, the league has 2 option years. And considering he's underpaid (on a world scale), it's unlikely they won't exercise them.

Donovan to Celtic?http://www.tribalfootball.com/celtic-go-la-galaxy-captain-donovan-430391

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

Not the most exciting rumor at this point in time. Celtic currently sit bottom of their Europa League group (while Rangers sit bottom of their Champions League group). The Old Firm isn't what it used to be.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

Not to mention that Landon would be foolish to go to the SPL at this point in his career.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

This is tribal football. Enough said. I'd kill for this to happen, but for more than a few reasons I think Donovan would be very reluctant to go to Celtic.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

interesting, well a rumors a rumor we're bound to run with it. Im not sure donovan is a big fan of the cold or the wet, but Celtic are opening the warchest this January, what is Celtic's transfer record?

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

i heard in ESPN deportes about Donovan To America in Mex ???

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

Hartson, 6.5 mil GBP... we don't spend like that anymore though.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

Living in SoCal he should be used to that type of weather.
Ugh! I hope he doesn't go to Celtic. He's got to have better options.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

interesting, thought i heard recently that Celtic were loosening the purse strings alot in January, like they were really going to open the checkbook.

I figure donovan will cost 5 mil pounds absolute minimum

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

Definitely not. The board have made it abundantly clear they are not going into debt... all of our signings in January will have to be paid for by selling players off or dumping some contracts, with the exception of maybe 1-2mil that they'll give Mowbray to start out. The financial situation in Scottish soccer is pretty terrible right now.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

sorry, but when Donovan teaches scotsmen how to play football with Celtic, what will that do for anyone? He'll get payed less than in Spain, he'd probably be injured, because he's a step faster than al the other players there and they love to hack like MLS, and in the end, playing for Celtic doesn't increase anyone's persona anymore. He needs to go to Spain

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

If it is between Celtic and 12th place Ligue 1 Paris St. Germain or 18th place Serie A Livorno then Celtic is the better choice. But, if there are clubs in England like Sunderland or Aston Villa bidding then Celtic won't stand a chance.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

While Caltic might not be the ideal destination for someone like Donovan, there is no doubt that a successful loan there will get the attention of more appealing suitors.

I would rather him go on loan to a club like Celtic, which will dominate most teams they play, than a club at the bottom of the EPL table, which will be dominated in most games they play.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

If its a loan then it'd be okay. As a transfer I think it'd be stupid for him to go.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

Might as well stay home as go to Celtic. Not enough of a difference from MLS.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

Why is Celtic a better place for him than PSG or Livorno? SPL is not the kind of league Donovan needs to be in. I still think Spain is his best fit and I'd say SPL is maybe the worst.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

exactly. Other than the Old Firm the MLS is possibly better than the SPL imo.

 

Re: Donovan rumors?

If we're just floating rumors here, let's dream big!
