For goodness sakes, it took him a while to grow a pair.

Klinsmann is the only thing keeping him there; I can't see the fan base or management taking this seriously.

It may not be the right move going to bayern. I'm just afraid he will not get the playing time he thinks he deserves, and I totally agree with Ian here. I'd like to see him playing week in and week out, I just don't that will happen for him at Bayern. Like Ian said he has to absolutely let go of his ego and understand he will not be a big fish in a small pond anymore. Good luck to Landon though I hope succeeds.

@BishopvilleRed: “With everything going pear shaped in Munich”?!?!?! 5-0-1 in their last six Bundesliga games and 2-0-2 in the Champions league.

@Ian, totally agree, why go if he won't play, and how do they get him on the field with the current FCB squad.

He just needs to take the international move with a heaping spoonful of humility. He will not be the star at a big club like Bayern. Heck, he'll be lucky to get much playing time. Of course he knows this. It's all a matter of what he wants to get out of his international stint. Is it to improve as a player? To be a star? Money? Whatever it is, I wish the best for him, but, from the spectator's point of view, it doesn't look like a good fit for him at BM.

I think Bayern is the wrong place at the wrong time for him. With everything going pear shaped in Munich and the bad publicity he already endures, he's going to have to walk on water to avoid getting slagged off and run out of town the minute Klinnsman is sacked.

Donavan will be fortunate to hammer down a starting. The pace and quality of Germany are so much different from MLS that there are serious doubts about whether or not he can flourish there. He is the US's biggest name, but was an abject failure at BL. Hopefully, I am wrong, but my doubts are strong.

I think Donovan could do great in Germany. I believe it is time for him to leave the MLS and look for some international recognition.

And I agree with you, he could potentially be the best soccer player America ever produced.

Any predictions for the Fire vs. Crew game? El “Mellizo” Barros Schelotto contra Cuauhtemoc “Temo” Blanco?
