Correct me if I'm wrong but I think only one of the expansion allocations had top priority. The others are at the bottom of the list behind the YSAs and top transfer allocations. I believe we used our top priority allocation on Mathis.

SJ still has the rights to Donovan and they will for at least two years unless they use part of it on an allocation. Same thing happened when Wade Barret wanted to come back this year to MLS. Quakes still had his rights and never used his allocation so they got him back.
So, if Donovan came back (heaven forbid) he would go to the Quakes.
Unless he called Garber and said "no way!"

Man if Donovan ended up on the Galaxy..

1. He would be the first real "traitor" of MLS I'd think.. someone who played for a long time for one rival and then ended up on the other end of the rivalry

2. All those Gals fans who loved to hate Landon would all of a sudden change their tune..

3. I think the Galaxy would instantly be the clear favorite to win the West.

The rumor of Donovan coming to LA is as old as ...at least my daughter.
