    Hmmm, I take it he's already pretty well known over there? I'm sure I heard Jordan was on 50m including all his sponsorsip deals and Scumacher was next on 40m...

    i bet this ends up mostly a bust...at best, football will go from being a sport watched by latinos and europhiles to one also watched by a moderate number of non-latino, non-europhilic americans...like ice hockey.

    yeah, but this $50 mil is not even taking endorsements into account. beckham already has US endorsements and he'll get loads more, so i bet he'll end up with $75 mil a year not even counting any endorsements in europe or asia!

    I can't believe Beckham gets slated... people are just jealous. He has always been a top professional and always gave 110% for England and without his assists and goal in the world cup last year we would of been even worse.

    i agree...

    he's been an awesome talent over the years, there was a time when he was literaly carrying the England team to results, people seem to forget this, and are quick to lay blame, which is exactly why i have no interest in the English national side and haven't for a long time...

    for United Becks had many fine years, but he was guilty of going AWOL in certain fixtures from time to time, it's like the game against Arse in the FA Cup, the one that lead to the flying boot incident, Sir Alex was reported as saying 'Ashley Cole is making you look like a c**t out there' or somin to that effect, and he was right...

    still not sure if it was correct to sell him when we did, i guess it was impossible for Sir Alex and him to get along, plus Ole was out-performing Becks towards the end of the 2002-2003 season, but then got injured ofcourse...
