landon donavon not one to shirk a challenge
Everton have confirmed the loan signing of Landon Donavon from LA Galaxy on a short term loan deal, with the player arriving at Goodison Park on January 2nd and returning to the USA for the start of the MLS season in March.
Not a great deal of time to make his name at Everton, but I am sure Donavon will fit the team like a glove. He has great pace and scores goals, but he is also an intelligent playmaker and not afraid of the physical side of the game, giving as good as he gets.
At 27 years old Donavon has made a record 120 appearances for the USA and scored a record 42 goals for the national team. He is consistently voted the USA Player Of The Year, which may not count for much but in the Confederations Cup earlier this year, Donavon was very impressive playing for his country, especially in the historic win over Spain, that finished the Euro 2008 winners unbeaten record.
Everton fans should be ecstatic, but I doubt they will be very keen to let him go back to the Galaxy.
