Donovan is being bashed to the point that he probably won’t improve because of it anymore. I’d probably be worse. More burnout, more passive aggressive anger feedback & amplification. If he was in south america, that kind of rubbish-amplifying feedback could cause riots or even murder attempts, and me, I wouldn’t care, as long as it misses me, and keeps them too busy to bother me (riots, cops, etc.. or what isn’t applicable to mobs of fans — anger management walking away). Donovan, he’s probably just being a rebel in a defensive way.

He’s good enough for MLS and MLS don’t want to can him, so he can stay if he wants to. I don’t think he’ll get much better staying in the USA. But when weighing the LA climate, LA culture, being close to family, and most of all, the Girlfriend/Fiance (which I think will be a long stable marriage b/c of pre-live-in and patience, two-way cross-family relationship), vs further, possible explosive, skill development, but foreign culture, poor to medicore family access, medicore girlfriend access, frozen cold weather, and foreign language. I definitly will choose the same that Landon is if I were in his position.
