Donovan to Barcelona (Or: How Much Do I Love April 1)

By: Laurie | April 1st, 2007
   

Since I’ve already given you one great rumor for the day, how about another, even better one. Bruce Arena and Landon Donovan both to Barcelona this summer.

(Truly, you have to read the whole article, because it made me laugh out loud.)

The sometimes brilliant, sometimes invisible, always balding forward/midfielder agreed to a salary of €10 million ($13.3 million) per season, plus all outstanding requests on his wedding registry to join Barcelona from the Los Angeles Galaxy during the summer transfer window. Donovan’s deal will run through 2012, with a built-in “Leverkusen clause” which is an option to send his ass back to the U.S. at any time if he starts to suck.

Adios, Landon! Enjoy the trip!!

(See you back in the Galaxy on April 2.)

  • Bruce Arena to Barca. Heh. Sorry, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. Aren't April Fool's articles supposed to induce laughter, not terror? (I mean, don't get me wrong -- Bruce out of NY would be super, but even as a joke La Liga doesn't deserve his crap.)
  • I'm confused Laurie.
