We all know that Beckham has talked about his desire in being in U.S league during the end of his career but it has happen sooner than we expected.

1st - Beckham is not getting regular 1st team appeareance as he should have in RM and that pretty sums up that he isn't in Capello's plan as we all know that Capello is trying to create a new team dynamic in the squad where the Older generation of Galaticos will be release in the expense of new talented youngsters.

2nd - Milan has said that if Beckham were to choose Europe, without doubt Milan would have capture his signature. But having known that Beckham is already in his early 30's, why would he want to be in another place where he can hardly speak the language and his whole family would need to re-adapt to the new environment which has proven difficult when they first move out of England.

3nd - Since America is a nation which speaks English as their mother tongue, ton's of entertainments around, exposure of the media, their celebrity contacts, bla bla bla the list goes on it would be an ideal choice for him.

Even though there isn't anymore competitive matches for him like the CL, i think he got used to it since he has been dropped from both the England and RM squad. With the huge and insane money given to him, why not stay in a country where Soccer is not dominant sports being watched, hence, lesser pressure than in Big European Squad and can have additional time off with his family.

quite agree with ya'

he can't dribble,he can't heading,he can't pass,he can't tackle and he only take nice freekick and sell shirts..and he is david beckham..
no wonder even RM supporter also want him to get out from the club.just wating money..

why not u just say he cant play football smile.gif if he is so teruk, why did he won few awards in his career?

1- no 2 fifa player of the year

2- European MVP award

and during his young age the Bobby Charlton award.

He has talent, hate him or like him, u gotta admit it. Just now he seems he has lost his golden right foot and he is more known as celebrity rolleyes.gif

is not me who said that..but one of the gretest footballer in england..i forgot who is it

yeah, but if not mistaken, he didnt include "he cant pass" in his statement smile.gif

Giggs is around 34 now and is still one of the best players in Man Utd. Cantona was still great when he was 31, Zidane retired last year and i think it was 35. David Ginola still runs around despite being 30+ last time. Figo and Steve Macca did well when they were 31. Besides that, Zola, Nedved, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Gary Mccallister did well past their 30s, and they did extremely well too

Give me any of the above, I'd choose them over Beckham.

A 20 year old Beckham and a 20 year old Cristiano Ronaldo, I'd still choose Cristiano Ronaldo.

some players peak early, some player not.. some player last longer and some player not. not true ? look at this :

stan collymore : once said as the biggest striker england could have..

fowler: very good goalscorer at his young age, but look at what happened to him when he is over 28yrs old.

raul gonzalez : become a legend at very young age.. look at him now..overshadow by his past

figo : he reached his peak at 28yrs old and he only last around 5 yrs at top his game.

macca: he's very good when he is at liverpool, at younger age. bought by madrid and never been as good as he is (but still above then ok) and many said he's done nothing in england shirt.

zidane : come on, u cant compare this very rare player with others footballer.

roberto carlos: u got to be joking he is very good until now.. he can run, but he keeps giving free goal to opponent doh.gif

ginola & cantona : also at top of his game at around 5-6 years only..

beckham's peak was during 1997/1998 season, the year before wcup 98. at that time he was only 22yrs old. he lasted until i could say his 2nd season at RM. which was during 2003/2004.. so he is at top of his game for around 6 years as well. so he is like others too tongue.gif

maybe many would say his best was during treble season, where he assisted so many goal but for me his best was during his last season at man u where he scored 18 goals and still be top assist in EPL.

i used to buy many man u mags during in schools and i remembered top coaches said that why he needs to dribble if he can pass from 50 yards out, and still reach the same destination..

so that means, many agrees with his class and talent... just that now his best is over, same like others (fowler, raul, collymore who?)

SAF even said that becks loved Man U so much and he understand why becks wouldnt signed for other EPL club.. when he said that, and from martin o' neill, steve coppell and Sam (bolton's manager) statements that becks is still good to play for EPL club, that means there are clubs who wanna sign him..
Even AC milan wanna sign him.

i guess beckham reason might be true. he said that if he goes to USA at 34 yrs old (if he signs 2 yrs extention with RM) people will said he goes there purely for money, bcoz at that time surely he is sucker than now biggrin.gif

sorry, i dunno much bout nedved coz i dont follow serie A as deep as i follow EPL and La Liga. All i know is Man U was interested in signing nedved once (during his lazio time), and nedved is a very important player to Czech.

argh this reply automatically make a double post from me : blush.gif

He only got 12 goals(6 league) and 12 assists(9 league). Solskjaer got 15 goals(9 league) and 8 assists(8 league). Dunno how true is that.. don't shoot the messenger. tongue.gif Ole started on the wing a lot that season, SAF played Scholes behind Ruud mostly.

12 goals ? wait let me check man u official mags once more. neway why suddenly u put ole stats? no one compare becks with ole here tongue.gif

edited:

my mistake. i was mentioning bout the season before the he injured his leg during man u vs deportivo la coruna. he scored 16 goals (not 18 goals sweat.gif ), and that including a brilliant long shot against deportivo in 1st leg of CL. he also scored a brilliant chip against west ham (or issit aston villa?)
what i meant here, at that season, besides assisting goal, he also scored lots of goal, more than his other season. before that season he scored around 9 goals only per season and that is the 1st time he scored double figure.

and his decision for not telling his club first somehow is unacceptable.he shouls respect RM, as he was still under contract that time

Players are free to talk to anyone in their last 6 months of contract right? Atleast in CM 01/02 its that way. tongue.gif
Rushden Rushden Rushden...........

yeah he is free but at 31 yrs old didnt he learnt sthing called manner? cool.gif

@wan, just some confusion.. i read both in soccernet and realmadrid official website praising beckham for being the top assist in La Liga in his first 3 seasons there, but from the link u gave, in the first and 2nd season in RM, he didnt make any assist at all .

and even in 2001/2002 season during his MU time, his assist is also 0.

and as far as i can remember, he never failed to assist a goal in a season.
i tried hard to find any stats bout it and i remembered OPTA which alwiz provide stats for EPL but i fail to find any..

a normal player...he gets 9/10 for football satisfaction but only 3/10 for salary satisfaction...
But for becks...he got 10/10 for money and 6/10 for football... its still worth it ^^

how can u be so sure bout that?

many players love to go to chelsea bcoz of the wages they offer.. even they just sit on the bench, never complaint!
