I think it should be pointed out that not only is Bianca much taller than Landycakes, she is five years older.

It’s now or never for Donovan. He can’t make the jump much later, and it would be a good situation if he lands in Bayern. Although I don’t know if that’ll ever happen.

And elle which sounds like a girl is obviously jealous of Bianca’s perfect body.

Donovan is by far the best player we have and if anybody can play for an upper table team its him.

I’m gonna have to agree with Kyle. Age is definitely something to take into account. And as far as the number of Brazilians that do it. The soccer culture in this country is nowhere near theirs. They have fellow countrymen to look up to. We haven’t had a star that was respected by any club or country in Europe. Once we get that then I would be a little more critical of our young guys that go over and flop. I say third times a charm or three strikes and your out. Eitherway, I feel LandyCakes needs to head on over across the pond and see if he has matured or see if he really just isn’t good enough. We need our players to start embracing the challenges of playing against tougher competition. Not shying away from that.

Landon stated in an article somewhere that he feels he’s at the peak of his skill/conditioning. He’s scoring tons of goals in MLS and making over a million a year. Why would he want to give that all up when there’s a realistic chance he’ll fall flat on his face? Peeing his pants and joking aside, I don’t think it would be a smart personal choice for Landon to move to Europe when considering all factors.

How much of the top talent in MLS, regardless of age, have moved to Europe and not gotten consistent playing time? It would be like Landon is starting all over again. And anybody who thinks that Landon will transfer and make the starting 11 right away is delusional, it just does not work that way.

Landon isn’t really what I wants in a forward, thats another problem I have with him. I either want small great ball-skills guys or tall guys who are strong and can muscle defenders. Landon is small and strong(ish) which means he is everything that nobody could dream.

I think I just confused myself
