MLS finally got around to announcing Landon Donovan’s loan to Bayern Munich, a short deal that oestensibly runs through just March 15. But don’t be fooled; the Galaxy forward is planning to make himself impossible to get rid of, and he clearly has a fan in Jürgen Klinsmann.
The Bayern boss got to know Donovan from his time living in L.A., and told the club’s website “We’re expecting great things of him.” Even if he isn’t on the Champions League roster, Klinsman said he’ll get plenty of playing time on all other fronts, including league games.
“We’re all excited by him. He’ll get playing time, in the friendlies, in the DFB Cup and in the Bundesliga,” said Klinsmann. “He has unbelievable pace and dribbling skill, he looks for the one-on-one situations, and he scores goals.”
