I'm not absolutely sure, but I believe that the text that states the following is wrong: "On June 3, 2004, Bayer Leverkusen announced that Donovan would return to the club in 2005, and Landon followed suit, announcing his return to Germany on November 23, 2005."

Shouldn't it be November 23, 2004? It just seems that the timeline does not match up, look in the paragraph that follows for evidence. Just thought I would bring it up - Blake Edwards, b_edwards@mvn.net

06.30.2006 - Althought I'm not a fan of Donovan, his nick name is NOT Landy Cakes!

Yeah it is

[edit] Needs picture

. funny as it is, I cannot believe that "Donovan could not break into the first team with Leverkusen due to his baldness". Perhaps someone can correct this?

[edit] Nickname in reverted edit

It's Lannycakes not LandyCakes. Often its just Lanny. I also sometimes hear the 2nd-sylable cutoff that a lot of people have 'Lan'. The media doesn't use Lanny or Lannycakes, so he probably doesn't like hearing them outside of friends of family. --GreatInca 19:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

-No, some of the media uses Landycakes, sort of a nickname to show how much of a "pussy" he is for going back to MLS.

-No, some of the FANS uses Landycakes.
