Pseudinho- I know I’m late in my response but I just want to clear something up from your comment about Valencia. Villa will not be leaving come January just because money came knocking at his door. This summer Real Madrid was offering 40 million for him and he was not sold. One other thing to mention Valencia is top of the league. Why would he go to Manchester City? Makes no sense at all. Not everyone is Robinho. If Valencia ends a bad note this season, he might leave but as of now, I don’t see taht happening and I don’t see him going to Man City. One other thing, I don’t see Landon flourishing at a team like Valencia.

I think Landon would do in good in La Liga in some of the mid table teams but I don’t think he stands a chance in the top 5 of La Liga.

He really is trying to sell himself, isn’t he!
Think Spain would be the best bet for him now. He’s been to England. He didn’t like Germany because of the weather and food , apparently! So Spain would seem a perfect fit. Lots of good clubs there that play attractive football and it would suit his style.

JDunn: seriously, I hope the only reason you’re still trying to justify your comment is because you’re in love with the EPL and think no MLS player could ever play there because otherwise you make no sense. Clint is a fine player but if you asked anybody in the soccer world who they thought was better, clint or landon, they would probably laugh and say, are you serious?

As others on this blog know I’m a big fan of Clint but come on, no matter what landon’s past results were in europe he is probably the best player to ever put on a USMNT kit and comparing him to clint dempsey just doesn’t make any sense.

Comparing Leverkusen Donovan to present Donovan is like comparing apples and oranges. People mature with age, experience, and time.

Scoring 4 goals against Cuba and being the big fish in a small pond does not make Donovan automatically better than every other American player. I never said that Dempsey is more talented than Landy, but Donovan looked completely out of his depth for Leverkusen. Dempsey has the attitude and Landy Cakes does not, simple!

And GS, dismissing my comment and calling it dumb while reading into it something that wasn’t there makes your comment the dumbest I’ve read on here.

And now they aren’t…and I’m an ass.

Either way. If Landon joined Hull I’d seriously reconsider my allegiance to Blackburn (actually, no. But I might buy a Landycakes jersey)

Pseudinho– Here is one way to change the Commentary… http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081016071943AAhqr0z

I found it in the settings under I think My fifa something… but you can always change it right before you start a game in the audio settings…

I’m not sure about places for Landy, but if Hull City called I’d answer… BAND WAGON!!!

B, how do you switch it. Sometimes I’m in the mood for spanish.

I think teams would be more willing to put Landon out then Clint. Clint is a gamer but he’s the most inconsistent player we have on our national team. What about a move to Valencia. David Villa will likely be gone in January. Manchester City is gonna break the transfer record again for him. Here is my list of possible teams.

Valencia
Deportiva La Coruna
Getafe
Villarreal

Manchester City
West Ham
Tottenham
Fullham

Man I hope he’s back!!! Give the guy a starting role Fulham!!!

Who knows if Landy can play in bigger league… My guess is he would do better in La Liga rather than England… Landy said it himself, he’s not going to take on guys like John Terry and get a positive result… Now if you put him on a club that expects to spread the field and get Landy some balls out in space he’ll run past that pasty whitey brit any day of the week…

Side note… anybody else change the commentary on their Fifia 09 to Mexican Spanish rather than English??? You don’t have to listen to the lame comments that don’t match the game and you get the GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAALLL when you score!!! Plus you feel like you should grow a dirty mustache and change your name to sanchez…
