Ronaldo Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Still think Becks could a very good job in the PL. His game hasn't changed since his Man Utd days. Just his age. But his style of play has always been the same. It hasn't, man. His style of play is almost unrecognisable from his days at Man U. He obviously still strikes a ball brilliantly, but that's where the likeness ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his style of play has always been the same. He would struggle in the PL imo. His passing/crossing will still be an asset but whether or not he can keep up with the pace of the game is another matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Beckham would never warrant a position on the pitch for either of these clubs. He should go to Stoke or Leicester City. A level at which he may still be somewhat competitive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 PSG make approach to sign David Beckham from LA Galaxy Paris Saint-Germain have made an initial approach to sign former England captain David Beckham when his contract with LA Galaxy expires in December. PSG held a telephone conversation with the midfielder's representatives but formal talks have yet to take place. Several other clubs - some of them in England - have also shown firm interest in Beckham, who it is understood wants a challenge that will "excite" him. However, he has not ruled out staying in LA, where his family are settled. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United player, whose Galaxy contract ends on 31 December, will announce his decision in November once the Major League Soccer season ends. Galaxy have an unassailable lead at the top of their conference and are guaranteed a spot in the play-offs. They will contest a two-legged quarter-final on either 29 or 30 October and 2 or 3 November, with the winners advancing to the semi-final on 5 or 6 November. If Galaxy go all the way to the MLS Cup, their campaign will end on 20 November. Beckham joined from Real in 2007 and his family are happy in the United States but he is prepared to continue his career elsewhere if a suitable challenge arises. News of PSG's initial interest was broken by BBC sports news correspondent Dan Roan in September. The Qatar-owned French side are embarking upon an ambitious project and sporting director Leonardo coached Beckham when he was loaned to AC Milan in 2009. Tottenham and Queens Park Rangers have also been linked with the former Manchester United player, who is keen to represent Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics. However, he does not feel any potential involvement in the Olympic team would depend on him playing for a European team. Beckham trained with Tottenham during the MLS off-season in January but, on Thursday, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp told the Daily Telegraph a permanent move would be difficult. "I was so impressed with David as a person, as a player," said Redknapp. "He was fantastic to have around the club, a class act. "The problem I'd have is that David would want to play regularly and I couldn't guarantee him that at this stage. "It's difficult: I have Aaron Lennon coming back, Rafael van der Vaart playing off the right. I have lots of options. I could play Gareth Bale on one side and Luka Modric on the other. "Sandro is also looking like he could end up a top player. Then there's Scott Parker. "So to bring David in and not play him would be a problem." Beckham won the last of his 115 England caps against Belarus in October 2009. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyP Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sounds like Redknapp wanted to play him in centre mid what with the wings being taken. Probably would have gone for him if not for Sandro's emergence. What i would say is that if he were to play anywhere but right wing, it should be further up. Leonardo played him as a trequartista (ie. just behind front 2) for Milan and i remember one game in particular he was fantastic there. His passing is superb, not just the hollywood balls! At PSG im not sure they need him tbh, im pretty sure they dont (last year maybe but not now) but i guess its the most marquee of marquee signings...Milan made the money back on wages etc. with shirt sales so im guessing they foresee the same. A handsome bugger though, which is the reason id sign him here tbf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by their previous record of nicking other clubs' youngsters you'd think they would have up on this by now. The two lads from Leeds, who they paid millions for, now both play in the lower leagues. But yeah I agree, should not be allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Can't see that much of a problem with it tbh. I know he's still very young but they've obviously seen enough in him to take a chance. MK Dons are £2m up on the deal, the lad gets to train with Chelsea and have a really good chance at developing as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Midds. It's a gamble either way, they could hold on and if he does progress as Chelsea expected they would get more but he could just as easily not make it and mk dons would end up with nothing.

JH Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Think it's brilliant for all parties. He gets to train and build himself up with world class trainers and facilities, and MK Dons get £2m for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Aye didn't really see it from a player's perspective. I'm guessing MK Dons will have other clauses put in as well based on sell-on, appearances, etc. further down the line too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
