  • he really is an amazing player...he just needs a little more confidence and i think he can do great on Everton...possible even be among the top 5 players in the EPL. Hes def athletic and talented enough.

  • This man would thrive in the premier league for a top club, they just got to give him a chance..

  • hola como estan

  • hola

  • lets get this sorted, people people going at each other over how good he is, i am an avid evertonian and watched him play every single game for the blues and trust me this lad is top quality, even city with all there billions came out and said they want to buy him, with all there money they could buy anyone, but they want landon,thats saying something,hes way too good for mls.

  • HE ISNT ANYTHING SPECIAL. He isnt at the level of premier players like walcott and fabregas. averagly american players are no were near as good as brazillian or italion players.

  • @Miltonia56 LOL Walcott and Fabregas

  • Yeah I'm not american but I think he's a great player. He could prove himself in europe if he really wanted to, but he loves LA and loves being there (I think). I hope he makes a permenant move to epl, he's already doing great in the world cup right now.

  • I'm not American, but after watching him play at the World cup in South Africa, I'm now a big fan. World class player in the making. Go team USA. We love you in Africa.

  • I really think this guy will always be just SLIGHTLY short of talent to be world class. He is a HECK of a player, and I think you can tell he is an absolute gym rat and a soccer nerd, watches tape after tape after tape, then hits the gym, shooting practice, and then coerver drills. He can SHOOT and has shown flashes of brilliance, he just lacks that imaginative creativity, flaire and guile to be world class. The US has come a long way to produce a great player like him, we need to keep going.

  • shit clips for a shit footballer... apparently americas best player? ive seen more talent at non league

  • i love the skycam - and the goal - its fucking nice

  • shouldn't the person who made this vid have put in more vids or him scoring instead of getting deflected?

  • he is not good

  • im an everton fan and every everton fan i sppek to would love to get him signed up,he's become a hero in his short time with us,thats something thats not easy to do at a club like us!birmingham his last game so hopefully go's out with a bang(few goals maybe) and hope that we can sign him in summer if poss,as i think both everton and him would like to see it happen,if nt im sure were gonna be first in the que come next jan,what a player he is thou!

  • @1992alan1992, lets see if Everton can buy him off of Galaxy. I'm sure you've heard that the players were going to strike in the MLS, do you know why?

    Its because the MLS clubs make it difficult for their players to leave.

  • thank you donovan for your time at everton you are welcome back anytime  usa usa usa

  • I read that Chelsea is interested in this guy, is that true?

  • @infinteuniverse

    It's a rumor, but it seems to have a strong souce as it was reported by both US and UK mainstream press sources.

  • i think its true there alson saying man united has an eye on him

  • @silvershogun1, really? where did you hear this? If the rumors are true, I think he'd be better off at Everton rather than Chelsea or Manchester United.

  • I love this fucking video with that NIN song. Good choice. And WTF Donovan? No more misses like that one against the Spurs. Jeez, man !! Anyways is past now. Just keep working hard. Next week against Hull you'll have the chance to make up for last week.

  • @vivelavidarocka

    Yeah, it was a tough miss, but that is just going to happen. They as players, and we as fans, just have to roll with the ebb and flow. Otherwise, we're gonna wither their nerves. However, the Hull game solidified LD's ass-kicking qualities - I'd wager to say maybe even more than in the Manchester United and Chelsea F.C. games.

    Two goals and two (or is is three?) assists in 10 games, 8 of which were full length: that's strong for any player, especially a mid-season transfer.

  • he did lol

  • Everton is 5-1-1 since his arrival.

  • He certainly has the endurance and quickness for the EPL, I just hope he can handle the physical play of the league better than he did in Germany. We'll see if his international experience helps him this time..........hoping it does.

  • everton is my favvvvvvvvvvvvvorite team at the moment ! they only lost 1 game out of 6 or 7 game soo far ! they just beat chelsea !!!

  • Moyes is scouting the American leagues, not just Tim Howard and Donny but we also got 2 americans in are reserves in Anton Peterlin(23) and Cody Arnoux (22) who we got from like the 3rd tier of american football and from college, so we could be making 2 other big us stars

    COYB!

    USA USA USA

  • Glad to see donovan doing well in his first few games on loan with everton, He has really matured as a player, it makes me feel good that we have some talent here in the states that can be used in the English game i have always admired the EPL they are the best of the best.Keep it up boys.

  • Great loan signing from Moyles. He knows his Americans, with McBride, Howard and now Donavan. Won't be signed from LA as they'd want no less than 10m, but will help lots for the loan spell.

  • look at the games he gets to play in

    Feb. 6- at Liverpool

    Feb. 10- vs. Chelsea

    Feb. 18- vs. Sporting Lisbon (Europa League)

    Feb. 20- vs. Manchester United

    Feb. 25- at Sporting Lisbon (Europa League)

    Feb. 27- at Tottenham

    sign him up moyesy hes quality

  • I am sorry to tell you this, but he isn't going to get through Vidic of ManU or John Terry of Chelsea.

    I agree he is a great player, but Vidic and Terry are out of his class.

  • They beat Chelsea ! !!

    Liverpool won by soo lucky ! becuz the Best midfieder was injury that guys ! the guys with the big head ! lol

    and DONAVAN do a very good jobs there !

    hes scored one so far ! everton hasnt won like 6 game since hes there !

  • yeeees we beat chelsea without the fro (felliani), i was there in the park end

    landon was the best player on the pitch by a mile, even tho king louis scored 2

    i never felt more like singin the blues

    wen everton win and liverpool lose

    oooooeverton

    you got me singin the blues

  • @TheRandy0rton

    How can Everton be your favourite team, when you don't even know who Fellaini is?

  • who gives a shit about the world cup, am an Everton fan and i would love to see everton and donovan do something here than see all the over payed england players run around the streets of south africa with their stupid useless wives.

    Sooooooo anoying.

  • everton is iMPROVING SOO MUCH WITH DONOVAN IN IT ! DONT U THINK ?

  • Yes to all those my comments upset he had a good start. I hold my hands up.

  • i like the way he beat the offside trap by going solo,,, his one smart ass.. HHAHA 2.18

  • He is sooooo fast. It just looks fake at times.

  • He, seriously, looks faster with the ball at his feet than without it.

  • Arsenal 2 Everton 2 not a bad first game as arsenal beat them at the start of the season 6-1

  • BEAUTY OF A CORNER.

  • Good luck at Everton.

  • looking forward to seeing Landon play, i hope he does well for us

    he`ll get a good reception at Goodison (his first home game against city)

    COYB

  • he's a cool player i like him.hope he does well in everton!

  • fucking terrible defending :P but i'm very happy with this signing COYB!

  • Isn't he rated as the yanks best ever player? sure i heard that somewhere, can't wait to see him play in the Royal Blue jersey. COYB!

  • 2:57 was an amazing GOAL

  • Great Vid.. Cant wait to see him in BLUE!! Go Toffee's!!!

  • LOVE this video, hope Landon plays against Arsenal!!!

  • The one thing I love about Donovan is that he hustles on every play whatever the situation it may be. Now.. I like Joze Altidore but he is just lazy. Jozy is one of my favorite player but he is lazy compared to Donovan.

  • man....that goal he had against brazil with the cutback was sooo naughty...man....nada es mas bonita k un gol con brasil

  • very good video, not as many goals as i would have liked though lol

  • Moyes will undoubtedly give the man a chance to play, and I'm confident he will shine. These British posters are clearly still bitter about a certain Revolutionary War...

  • I think we could had beaten Germany in 2002 World Cup, we had the best squad back then.

  • @Legoman2022 i ABSOLUTELY agree...if you watch the game, it was oliver khan that beat us....

  • Run a search on "Donovan Interview with D-Wreck" and watch his last domestic "interview" on my radio show before he left for England.

  • lots of pace, but can't finish...

  • i will be surprised if donovan does well in premier. not because he's not skilled (he is), but because he's a little nimble player that, well, might get shoved around a bit in the premier league; a league where guys like drogba and rooney eat steel bars for breakfast and then box before playing....in all seriousness, i hope our star striker doesn't get hurt, frankly...shoot, you guys already have all our keepers, lol

  • @agriculturaltrading

    haha yeah we do have all your keepers but i think he will be fine in the premier league and dont worry the world cup aint till june =D

  • Seriously don't think any American will have a problem with toughness compared to soft Euros. Please

  • LOLOLOLOLOL europe gets the nam from spainyards and italians, english are nothing like as pussy as them (not being biased but it's true how they just dive all the time)

  • Landon is a BEAST!!!! i cant wait too see him play for the toffees

  • You guys praising Landon must be American. Yes he has pace....so what? In england he will only be able to use it if he is pushed out wide. In the centre they will just defend deep against him and he will be exposed as not good enough for top flight football. Everton will be facing Arsenal manutd liverpool over the next few months. The boy has no chance.

  • and C ronaldo missed during cl final... failed on the big stage

  • Newyork I wish him well. Mcbride, Reyna, etc have done well here so I wish donovan well but you guys are misguided if you think the epl is like anything like the MLS. Every week will be a big game and reputation counts for nothing.

  • We know what MLS and EPL is. That is why we are happy to see him go to EPL and excited to see how it goes. It will be a challenge for Donovan but one where he has the tools to be successful.

  • you certain? American playing abroad (except a few) are not given any respect or any playing time... thats why he failed in germany... He was phenominal during reserve matches, but the coach utterly refuse to play him for a substantial amount of time during league play. He has proved himself tenfold internationally by making the best defenders look shit. give him a chance (i feel the tone of your post has some other bias that has nothing to do with football)

  • I agree with you... Often American players are overlooked just because of their nationality. (except the goalkeepers maybe). I wouldn't go to say Donovan is world class, but he is better than a lot of players that play in England, without a doubt. However I do also understand what bigshot is saying about his size. But hey who knows ? Cahill Arteta Pienaar and Osman are not exactly huge, yet they still produce week in week out !

  • When you say proved himself internationally please give examples. Surely you can't mean the confederations cup last year in s.africa? No one takes that seriously. To prove himself at the highest level he has to be scoring goals week in week out against the best players in the world. When the game matters. C ronaldo has done that not l Donovan. In europe we don't have NBA or NFL or NHL its just football. Its like a religion here and donovan is just another player nothing special.

  • You seem to be bluring 'proving himself' and 'world class'. I would not say he is world class (Although I think he is gifted in a way a top 5% of the players in the world are). He can prove himself at the highest level without being world class. He is good enough to play in the EPL and never get relegated to the bench or lower league if he finds the right team.

  • It may be you mate who is confused. To prove himself in the coming weeks he will have to do so against chelsea, manutd, arsenal , mancity and liverpool. Anything less than world class will not be enough. He has proved he can play in the MLS. Thats all.

  • Mate... wrong again! He has proved his worth on the International stage against some of the best teams in the world (Brazil, Spain, etc).... Saying anything less is a joke. His time at Bayern was NOT a failure. In fact, he more than showed he could hang with the big boys. Did he excell? No, but he was played out of position. Let's hope Everton play him on the WING not as a striker.

    I recommend watching "'D-Wreck Interviews Donovan" for its humor.... ;)

  • Absolute rubbish. One sunny day does not make a summer. I will be at the emirates cheering on the mighty Arsenal lets see what he can do.

  • Just listened to 'D-Wreck interview on your recommendation. Thanks. Great stuff mate very funny. Still don't agree about your boy though.

  • If you are really going to say the Brazilians didn't care about stopping him on his goal in the Confederations Cup Final you are really really reaching... He performed well against Germany in 2002 WC quarter finals, Italy in the 2006 WC GS, Portugal in 2002..

  • Like I said nobody cares about the Confederations cup. Draw your own conclusions. In 2002 he scored against poland and the usa lost. He also scored against mexico. Not impressed at all. He didn't score against italy and performing well and not scoring when your a striker is just not good enough. I will be at the emirates on saturday. I'll let you know if my opinion changes.

  • We don't care if your opinion changes.

  • Obviously you do otherwise why bother me? Anyway I was talking to absolute. It was an a to b conversation. Kindly c your way out.

  • fans dont care about the confederations cup but the players do. stupid.

  • Really you think so do you? I can't wait for the world cup your in for a reality check.

  • he was also playing in the midfield for most of those matches.... nit as a striker. he was setting up goals for others and delivering pin-point passes. e does what is needed for the team. e is not a one-trick pony. donovan has played like 5 position for the national team depending on formation. CAM, CF, ST, RM, LM, LW, RW

  • Finally someone talking football to me. We will see like I have said he has not proved himself at the highest level yet but he has an opportunity to prove me wrong. I doubt he will.

  • he's not a forward he's a midfielder and even as a forward you dont need to score to have a good game. he's always been more of a creator than a goal scorer but he defenatly can do both.

  • @bigshot201

    Well he did well at Everton. And would you guys stop with the silly argument that no one takes those tournaments seriously. I'll believe that when top players don't show up, show emotion, and cry in joy and pain. If you're calling yourselves a no one, then ok. Your choice. But otherwise it's wrong.

  • @bigshot201 No one compared him to C. Ronaldo. The everton fans seemed to agree that they liked Landon Donovan and wanted him to start with them permanently. When L. Donovan was with Everton they beat Chelsea and Man United two of the top clubs in the EPL. L. Donovan has a lot of talent and I don't think even the most biased critic couldn't admit to that.

  • @bigshot201 Bet you feel stupid

  • @bigshot201

    Another ignorant European doubting America just because they are America.

  • here's an easy guide to being an english fan:

    donovan scores international goal against superstar player - they werent taking it serious

    rooney mucks about on the pitch and makes no attacks - world class player

  • @bigshot201

    It's a shame that you only have one game to follow. I'm sorry.

    I suppose it makes sense that we'd have more, what with the country being approximately 25 times the size of yours.

  • @bigshot201 i disagree with your statement you must be blind you have Americans playing in Europe at top levels.

    ex

    Clint Dempsey Fullham

    Eddie Johnson Fullham

    Jozy altidore Villareal

    Tim Howard Everton FC

    the list goes on and on...

    US CAN PLAY SOCCER

  • whether you're a fan of American soccer or not, you can't deny this guy's pace and scoring ability

  • Wow...this makes clear his breakaway speed!

  • this is a fucking masterpiece dude....serious love the video........5/5 stars

  • awsome video man keep it up =)

  • Great video dude. Welcome back.

  • :) maybe more inbetween this winter break

  • Absolute I don't agree dude. Friendly games and mickey mouse tournaments are not proving yourself t the highest level. He has to do it in europe or in the world cup to prove he is world class. If he was as good as you think he would be playing in europe.

  • I justify him being good by simple observation, if you know soccer and watch him you can see he has a brain, athleticism, and accuracy with both of his feet that put him among the highest of pro players.

    You act as if we think he is a soccer god. We know of his skills and limitations. But it is obvious he can play at the highest level. If you don't see the skills he has, I really not worth the debate.

  • he played extremely well for bayern and scored 5 goals in 7 games. mls was asking too much money for landon....deal never went through :(

  • Well lets be clear he had a total of four goals scored in five friendly matches for Bayern, but did not score any in league play.The team declined to extend his loan.
