sounds like pretty solid reasoning. I can’t believe a guy who’s such a sucker for the Cali sunshine wants to move to England though? I would think he’d jump at a chance for Spain…

This is just pure speculation but I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’ll end up at Tottenham. It’s an attacking side and he’ll probably want to be in London. That’s just a guess but it sounds correct.

You can add Brad Friedel to that list as well.

I’ve heard that Aston Villa was looking at signing three Americans… Brad Guzan, Micheal Bradley, and Landon Donovan, but thats the only team I’ve heard listed. I’d love for him to go to Liverpool, if he actually gets to play that is.

Deco was a bargain because he wasn’t wanted at his current club and everybody knew. Donovan could be about 6.5, that’s not unreasonable. Donovan will be more expensive just because LA would be glad to keep him.

potential suitors are aston, liverpool, and tottenham, id say if deco only was transfered for 7m then donovan will be about 6.5 euros

His ability to play in both the midfield and up to should certainly help his cause. I’d say at the very least he’d be the first player off the bench on most EPL squads outside of the big four.

His confidence is at an all time high and he has the physical skills to be dangerous, eg. speed, striking abilities, positioning. It’s all there, it’s the mental stuff that irked him last time and he’s over that. I hope he just plays so he doesn’t get down on himself.

He is certainly playing this year with a swagger that I’ve never seen from him before. I think since people there may have lower expectations for him I don’t forsee it being an issue this go round.

Yeah but I think he’s much more confident. He was very young and he got destroyed by the media. One of the reasons he didn’t go back for so long is because he didn’t want to have to deal with the media. If he’s ready to go back then he has gotten over the media and is ready to play.
