12Landon Donovan Scores for Everton, with his Assists
Posted By: Terry on February 12, 2012 at 9:00 amLandon Donovan is scoring for Everton since he joined the club on loan, two months ago.
Donovan have not been banging in goals, but he came up BIG with an invaluable assist,
helping Everton secure 2-0 victory, and precious points in the Premier League. This is
a follow-up from BeckhamGalaxy’s earlier post,
Premier League Exploits by LA Galaxy Players.
An assist to a goal by Darren Gibson led Everton to a 1-0 victory over BPL leaders
Manchester City. There is no wonder Everton is trying their best to negotiate an extension
of Landon Donovan’s loan till April 15.

It was another Déjà vu experience, Landon Donovan came up big with an assist as well in
his previous 2010 loan, in Everton’s match against Chelsea, helping to secure a 2-1
victory. Donovan may yet have a hand in giving Chelsea an excuse to sack Andre-Villas
Boas for their recent slump. In meeting Robbie Keane and Aston Villa, Landon Donovan
was a huge influence in contributing an assist to salvage a point for Everton.
Landon Donovan has yet to score a goal in the Premier League this season. Last season,
Everton missed out on the chance to sign Landon due to insufficient funds. LA Galaxy fans
will be thankful that this time Landon transfer to Everton is not permanent, due to a similar
financial situation. That, and the fact that Everton brought back Steven Pienaar, further
quashed any potential transfer move away from LA Galaxy.
According to the terms of the loan, Landon is expected to be reporting back to LA Galaxy
by March 7. The matches in which Landon can play in are the FA Cup Round 5 match
against Blackpool, on February 18, and another BPL away match against QPR on
March 7.
Landon Expressed His Desire to Stay?
Landon has expressed his desire to stay and help Everton until the end of the season in
April 15. LA Galaxy’s first match of the season begins with the CONCACAF Champions
League Quarterfinal match versus Toronto FC on March 7.
Will Landon Donovan be back by then?
Landon Donovan, on the possibility of extending loan stay
“Both Everton and the Galaxy know I would like to stay, but logistically it is
harder than just saying I want to or I am going to stay. There are a lot of
factors involved, and we will see what the Galaxy want. I think we will
have a lot more information this week.”
And if the loan is extended,
Will LA Galaxy be able to cope with the absence of Landon Donovan?
