    This is a very valid point. As we go forward as a soccer country, it will be interesting to see how Goos is remembered. With the strong cases for both sides, it will likely be bi-polar.

    I think it will depend on what Agoos does after he hangs up the cleets. He seems to have the makings of a successful coach, based on his impact at San Jose and DC.

    And Donovan's transfer/non-transfer to WBA will hinge on this outcome.

    I don't think an unfounded Landon Donovan transfer rumor hinges on the lasting legacy of Jeff Agoos.

    Re: Landon Donovan to West Bromwich Albion


    Does WBAUnofficial qualify as local media? How about producing a link?

    www.westbrom.com which has an active message board doesn't even have Landon on their "Dodgy Rumors" threads.

    I heard that Barcelona is in talking with Armado guevara's agent, it looks very positive.

    If you take out the ellipsis points on Google news summaries you get some interesting stuff.

    I'm sorry guys, but the original poster made a mistake. On the "ways to upset the San Jo board" rotation, this week was suppossed to be Spartan Stadium and attendance. Next week was relocation rumors, and the week AFTER was set for Donovan transfer speculation. He was way out of line and jumped three weeks ahaed. I will straighten him out and everything will return to normal. Sorry for the interruption.

    Did they even use him when he was in Germany? Articles I read make it seem like he sucked over there and now they want him back. I don't know it just doesn't make sense to me. But why has nothing been mentioned here in the states? Maybe they want to see if it is official. But how many years did Donovan play in Germany?

    If Landon leaves, it might as well be West Brom. Either way, he'll be playing for my favorite team.

    Oy vey... I know I've been off the Quakes boards too long when this thread is just begging for me to post in it for the past few days.

    As a Northern Cal.-based Albion fan who has seen Donovan in action many times for the Quakes, it's no surprise for me that Albion might take an interest in him. West Brom need someone else up front, and the thought of a Landon strike partnership would make any Albion fan giddy with excitement.

    But I monitor Albion-related news on multiple sites, and other than the wishes of a few of my fellow Baggies fans (there's often a lot of pie-in-the-sky wishing on WBAUnofficial.com), there has not ever been nothing solid about WBA offering anything to Leverkusen for Landon. NADA. And time is running out for something to get done. If I were a betting man, I would say that Donovan will probably stay with the Quakes for the rest of the MLS season and then consider going to Europe when the winter transfer windows open.

    By the way, Albion's Jason Koumas and Andy Johnson saw Donovan up close a year ago in the US-Wales friendly in San Jose... in fact on my desktop is a photo of Landon breezing past Super Jase during a late second-half end-to-end run at Spartan.

    And I expect Albion defender Darren 'Big Dave' Moore to go head-to-head with Landon a few times during the upcoming US-Jamaica World Cup qualifying match in Kingston.
