Donovan's stubborn and afraid, is all. I think he uses that home sickness line as a scape-goat.

Donovan coming back already

. I think Donovan needs to find an EPL team where he can play on a regular basis because his style of play works perfectly with the EPL.I can definitely see him cementing a spot in Leverkusen's starting 11, if he stays at the club and puts in the work. Competing for a starting position is good for him at this stage of his career, rather than having a guaranteed spot in the starting XI like he does in MLS and the US NT.Voltaic Borusse said:

This picture summarizes it perfectly. Donovan is a little homesick pussy who cannot handle being away from his sister.

He's like Hakan Sukur, he lack's the confidence to make an impact in soccer. If he wants to make it big time, he's got to grow up and stick with it. If he can't do it, he should to a smaller team in germany or europe and build up from there. Not to go back from where he started...again. I can't see him doing well outside the states if he stays with that attitude.

I honestly don't want to see him back in the MLS. He is too good to stay in the United States. I would like him to find a team that is a compliment to his style of play and to continue improving.

Villa don't need Donovan. We have too many attacking options as it is, and if he goes to Villa Park, it'll be back to square one for him. Plus, I don't think Herbert Douglas Ellis OBE will ever give O'Leary the money to buy anyone good *cough* Djemba-Djemba *cough*.
Donovan returns via free transfer
Bayer Leverkusen is set to cancel the contract the midfielder Landon Donovan, paving the way for the embattled 23-year old American to return to MLS on a free transfer.
"The contract will be dissolved and then MLS will decide where he plays," Leverkusen's Uli Dost told YA early Wednesday morning. "It can be assumed that he is returning to America and that he will play there."
When asked if there will be a transfer fee involved, Dost simply replied "No," before adding, "I don't know. They are negotiating that all right now," in regards to a future sell-on fee.
However, a source close to upper management at Leverkusen has revealed to YA, "[Bayer] will definitely be a part of any sell on. They will have that stake until 2008."
Donovan, who originally signed with Leverkusen at 16, appeared in just nine matches for the club since returning to the club in January, registering no goals and two assists.
After a poor performance against Liverpool in the Champions League and seeing no action in the two matches following, Donovan is invoking a clause in his contract which will allow him to sign in the United States.
"It came from Donovan himself. He spoke to the trainer and asked if he could return to America," Dost continued. "He wants a team, he wants to play and also [play] for America at the World Cup and deemed his chances to be better there."
"Of course, the separation from his girlfriend also played a role and he decided to go back."
"He is a consummate professional and was accepted positively. But I think that he put himself too much under pressure for the Liverpool game and it didn't go the way he expected it to. I think that also had an impact [on his decision]."
Unconfirmed speculation has linked Donovan to California side Los Angeles Galaxy, hated intrastate rivals of previous club San Jose Earthquakes, with whom he won two MLS Cup titles.
In the bandied scenario, Los Angeles would send Guatemalan striker Carlos Ruiz to FC Dallas 96 in return for an allocation which would clear up the needed salary cap room required to acquire Donovan.
