Landon Wary Of Altidore

Landon Donovan has warned his Everton team-mates that one of his international colleagues must be watched at the weekend.
The LA Galaxy man isn’t the only on-loan forward making an impact in the Premier League this season, with Hull’s 20-year-old frontman, borrowed from Villarreal, proving a real threat this season.
Altidore, Donovan and indeed Tim Howard were on the same side on Wednesday evening, as the Stars and Stripes were beaten 2-1 by the Netherlands in Amsterdam.
But four days on, in what will be the Donovan’s final game at Goodison, the on-loan star knows that his American team-mate Altidore will be a danger.
Donovan exclusively told evertontv: "Jozy is a very talented footballer and when he really fancies it, he can be a top player. In the last few weeks, I think he's played really well for Hull.
He added: "Physically, he's as gifted as any striker I've ever played with or against and he's got all the gifts. When he means it, he's a very good player."
Donovan - who returns to his native California after the visit to Birmingham City on March 14 - says that his stay with Everton has been great not only on the pitch, but off it too.
He says: "For me, obviously the football has been enjoyable.
"But in my opinion, a place, city or country is about the people - and the people here have been fantastic. I think that when you have that, it's always going to make your experience enjoyable."

Paul HowellsI think Landon will get a great reception on Sunday when he leaves the pitch and he will have earned it. I hope next January we can get the same deal again, like Becks has in Milan. I agree with Allan, Landon has been one of a number of catalysts in turning our season on its head and I'm sure he would be welcomed back. However he has not long signed a shiny new 5 year deal with LA Galaxy and he is their star man, country's top scorer etc. so they are going to be very reluctant to let him go. Maybe if we get another loan next Jan then we can think about getting him permanent after that? Thats assuming he is still as effective as by the time we could genuinely do that he would be in his 30's (I think!!). Anyway best of luck with the Galaxy this season and I look forward to seeing you in a blue shirt again next January.

Allan Mason-WhelanLandon, you have brought this club hope for the current season. We where in a deep place earlier in the season and you helped us out big time. Your aggressive on the ball, you push with the ball and you get great balls into the box. As Dave has mentioned, you have been a credit to the number 9 shirt and there is always a place for you on our squad. Have a great season with LA Galaxy and don't forget us too soon! We will be seeing you again 12th June as England take on USA - Good Luck. Thank you once again and Come On You Blues!
