Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Newcastle chief Mike Ashley targets David Beckham Another great Mirror Sport exclusive By Alan Nixon 22/01/2008 Newcastle United are out to sign David Beckham in a plan hatched by Mike Ashley and backed by Kevin Keegan. Billionaire owner Ashley is making contact with key figures behind the scenes to find out whether Beckham would fancy a move to the Tyne - despite the problems it would cause in his new career with American MLS outfit LA Galaxy. The shrewd Toon supremo knows that the former England skipper would sell shirts by the thousand at his club and also make them a world-wide brand. Ashley is not afraid to back his hunches - as he knows all the right people. He also paid £180million for a stake in adidas recently. Newcastle's shirts are made by adidas and Beckham is the face of the brand, so it would be a commercial masterstroke as well as a sound deal for footballing reasons. Beckham, who was on good terms with Keegan when Kev was England boss, has signed up for a lucrative spell in US football and is committed to it. But Ashley hopes the lure of Newcastle, Keegan and a better chance of staying in the England side will swing a transfer or loan deal. Ashley would have to compensate LA Galaxy and the MLS handsomely if he wants to take Beckham on a long-term contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yes please, still very much a quality player, also him being here will be great for Milner, all round a good idea .. Don't think we will get him but worth a try.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 No thanks. Finished as a player and not worth the hassle turning the club into more of a media circus imo. Should be looking to bring new players who actually have a future in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 A loan for the last 15 games of the season, would suit him and us. We are desperate for some quality balls in the box. He would also get his last swansong in front of a proper crowd. And he might get his final call up to England. Everyones a winner baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nee wonder Babayaro signed a contract over there, i bet he's buzzing he wont have to do fuk all for several months and not have to hide away whilst doing it.

Nee wonder Babayaro signed a contract over there, i bet he's buzzing he wont have to do fuk all for several months and not have to hide away whilst doing it. According to this, the MLS season runs from Late March/Early April until November... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Soccer So if it was a loan, we may only get a max of 2 months out of him. Would that really be worth it? Can't see Galaxy allowing him to miss the first month or so of their start of season, just to finish ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 He would help us out for a couple of months till we get our African lads back and allow us to look for a full on RW/RM in the Summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Can't see it happening. They seem to love the LA spotlight being seen out with Scientologist Tom Cruise etc. Celeb tastic and all that, Posh must be wetting her knick knacs. Can't see her living in Toon with her pal from Girls Aloud, she's a bit of a snobby div. Beckham the player yes please and if we were to make money off shirts etc then great. But can't see it happening because of the shit mentioned above + LA may not want to sell + many other reasons i.e. if he did move he may want to move to Milan etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wor jackie Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Even if Beckham didn't do well as a player here, the results of him being here would be promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
