You probably thought the Landon Donovan-to-RSL deal was, well, dead. After all, nobody’s talked about it in days, and there hasn’t been a strong source for rumors.
Hold your horses, though. This deal’s not dead. RSL coach Jeff Cassar told club-owned radio station ESPN 700 and Utah sports commentator Bill Riley that he’s “cautiously optimistic” about a deal — and that Donovan wants to be at the club.
I’m optimistic that we might have the opportunity to bring Landon in. Obviously, some things have to fall in line. That’s kind of out of our control. I’m optimistic, and there have been times when I haven’t been optimistic.
