The shirt seems to finally fit.
Landon Donovan is having a good time in the Middle East during Bayern Munich's winter training. Yesterday, Donovan played a full 90 and had an assist in the German side's victory. Today, the American all-time goal scorer earned his first Bayern goal in injury time.
A halftime substitute for Luca Toni, Donovan hammered the nail in on the Saudi side Al-Wehda's coffin. Landon managed to secure possession of a misplayed header in the box and made good on a nice turn and shoot from the eighteen.
This all comes at a time when Klinsmann is savaging Podolski for not having enough fight in him to earn more playing time, there are press rumors that Podolski will be transferred out, and Klinsmann is naming Donovan his number three striker behind Toni and Miroslav Klose.
Whether this is all a ploy to motivate Podolski remains to be seen. But, it seems the stars could be aligning for a return to Deutschland for Donovan. He is playing well and there may be room for him. I hope it works out for him.
