Donovan Likely To Return To MLS

Donovan will probably make a move this summer or at the end of the year! Even if he won't fit with Bayern, other Bundesliga clubs got to see him firsthand, and at least one should make a serious run for him.

I would have liked to see him in the Bundesliga.

We all know what great ability Landon has, but in the league games with Bayern Munich he seemed to be sitting back just a hair. Teams want to bring a player in that can make an impact, I don’t think Landon did in the Bundesliga.

Landon proved he is good enough for the Bundesliga, but he did not prove he was so good that someone would want to build a team around him and pay millions for that right.

I hesitate to be completely honest with myself… but I will. Perhaps Landon’s place is to be a star in a lesser league, something like England’s Championship league (not Premiership). Even so, he would have to reveal massive hunger and desire to make an impact which I haven’t seen from him lately. It’s dog eat dog week in and week out even for the most talented.

Maybe Bayern’s rejection will fire Landon up. I think MLS & USMNT have ruined him at present – his stature there made him feel like he had arrived, ignoring the fact he was only halfway up the stairs. He is still young – he may just need to find the hunger of youth again. Only massive hunger will do.
