joshuamfineman (U6639073) posted Jan 11, 2007 Becks is only 31, and is still a good player. Except for the top 3 (on current performances I think there a cut about Liverpool) he would walk into any premiership team. People seem to have very short memories in forgetting some of his great peformances for England (Greece springs to mind at the top of a long list..)

Duderoo (U3936341) posted Jan 11, 2007 Seems to me that Becks has only been in it for the cash since leaving Manure. He has had some half decent proformances for Real but nothing special. Money, money and a greddy wife pushing you along, shame and what a waste of talent, no wonder prem managers buy non UK players.

Fungus the Bogeyman (U6046281) posted Jan 11, 2007 It is clear that the Pop Tart was influential in this decision and Goldenballs knew he had no future back in England as there was no way Fergie was having him back at Old Trafford. She has driven his career backwards and her own into the ground so the false lifestyle of Hollywood was all that was left.

foscari (U1655980) posted Jan 12, 2007 I am a football odds compiler that works for bookmakers all over the world,maybe somebody can tell me because major league soccer in the USA is not one om strongest suites,BUT is David Beckham good enough to play for LA Galaxy? These boys are pretty fit athletes and quick that play for these teams.Yes I know David could help a team like Watford if he played for them and its not his fault that Real Madrid lost 7 out of the 9 games he started for them,this season.MAYBE they will change the rules in the USA and he will be able to come on like a goalkicker in the NFL and just take corners and free kicks?

natty (U5253788) posted Jan 12, 2007 but what about his quality crosses,long passes and general passing game in open play,i think he needs to adapt his game a little more.ryan giggs is a fine example.he's had to adapt his game with losing his pace but is playing some of the finest football of his already impressive career.
