Froggy Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Sure it's been discussed already but just got to say, David Beckham is a fucking brilliant man. Love that guy. Salary expected to be well over a million for the five months. Good lad Becks. Fergie put that side into him you know. Kicked a boot at him and wised him up.

Cajun Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Someone posted about it on Facebook and one of his friends was ranting about publicity etc.. saying other players do the same but no-one knows (how does he know then?) And to back this up he posted a top 10 link of charitable footballers. About 8 of these charities were called 'the'insertfootballersname*foundation'. Now I'm all for footballers donating to charity, the more that do it the better and I don't care how much publicity they get from it but you can't claim they are doing on the quiet when the charity they have created is in their name Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Torres out of the Spanish squad.

Disco Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thought Del Bosque was on record saying Michu was going to be in, someone else n all whose name escapes me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 He wasn't, it was a rumor. To be honest I wouldn't have called him up given the system Del Bosque uses; he isn't good/creative enough in his link up play for our non-striker role...

TaylorJ_01 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Sure it's been discussed already but just got to say, David Beckham is a f***ing brilliant man. Love that guy. I have a real man crush on him too. Won't hear a bad word against him. Probably the only massive celebrity I treat like a celebrity (i.e. would squeal like a girl if he waved at me).

Village Idiot Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 CB, although Puyol has been injuried a lot since Ramos was moved there. Dunno what Del Bosque will do with both available, but he certainly sees Ramos/Piqué as the longterm central pairing at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
