he must feel as if football hasnt got much to offer him any more,cause if he wanted the limelight an maybe a place back in the england squad he would have to come back to england for sure,he probably feels that he is coming to the end of his career cause i have a feeling the standard of foootbal isnt all that gud over there(guessing ive never actually watched any)which is actually suited to beckham cause he really isnt that good.Personally id like to see him back in premiership to see how he'd get on coming back.i also think his biatch is pulling alot of the strings :;

I mean, what the **** does he need the money for?

**Richierush** · 12-01-2007, 09:31 AM

i personally dont think its for the money,he is just seein out his football
in a nice hot country,plus posh has got the collar on an draggin him out there

**SlavikSvensk** · 12-01-2007, 03:31 PM

the more i think about it, though, the more sense it makes.

a) he's on the downside of his career, so why not go somewhere he can still be the super star...mclaren doens't want him on the national side anyways, so...

b) he's always cared as much (or more) about his brand image than his football playing, and he's now in the perfect place to develop that

c) the weather is always nice in LA, people are nice and it's really low-key. even the paparazzi only hassle celebrities in specific areas...probably much easier for beckham to have a private life here than in europe

d) it's always been pele's dream to put football over the top in the US, and beckham now has the chance to do that as his legacy

e) $250 million is a really, really, really large amount of money. i doubt many people could say no to that, realistically

**Will** · 12-01-2007, 05:54 PM

Yeah, I mean that's the kind of money Michael Jordan was on isn't it? Strange to think an English football player could make a similar amount, considering there's only 5 players per team in basketball and the salary cap is under 1m dollars per team in MLS I think... And he's not exactly the best player in the world, though he'll probably be tge highest paid sportsman you would think.

**phantomdj** · 12-01-2007, 07:02 PM

beckham is an arsehole.... his wife is an attention slut.

they are concrete proof of the pathetic state the world is in.... a talentless wanker like his wife is raking in millions and spending hundreds of thousands on clothes when there millions of people suffering.... it's not just them. it's arseholes like paul mccartney, elton john, madonna, spielberg, the royal family, etc etc etc...

they all **** me off to the extreme....

it's the stupid simple public who keep them where they are.

good riddance and take off to america is all i say. he will fit in well.

**Insomnia** · 12-01-2007, 07:05 PM

Yeah all about money, i bet his Mrs told him to take this offer, he cant speak up cos he's scared of her, she is a talentless skinny bitch aswell cant stand her, little Tart! :grr:

i think he's now the highest paid sportsman in the world. not 100% sure, but i think so. jordan never made $50 million a year.

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.

One word....

**Will** · 13-01-2007, 10:09 AM

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...

what balderdash you speak...

Becks is a good lad, fair-play to him, i wish him every success...

**Insomnia** · 13-01-2007, 04:10 PM

I dont mind him to be honest, it's his wife that does me head in, she think she were a queen!

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!

**french_og** · 13-01-2007, 07:21 PM

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...
