I just read this on Soccernet.  Now I'll definitely go to TFC games this summer.  It'll be interesting to see what he's got left in the tank first hand.

Sky Sports News are having a heart attack about it and having phone interviews with every Englishman who has ever played in the MLS, such as Paul Dalglish and Mark Wilson. Seriously, why do Sky Sports have their phone numbers at hand?

The move of a man that has no confidence in his ability, if you ask me. 

Said it had nothing to do about the money, I believe him.  The lying wanker.

I've lost a lot of respect for Beckham myself, a player always 100% dedicated to football and now in his final years he's decided to go where the money is despite already being mega rich. I'd say this has more to do with other factors than just money, too, namely making a name for himself and his wife who has all but fucked up any career she had here in the UK, in America.

What a waste, because he's still good enough to play in any of the big leagues, even though he's not the player he was.

I, myself, wouldn't call it a waste, because now I get to spend the equivalent of 20 quid to see him play.  On the other hand,
it would have cost me upwards of 1000$ to fly over-seas and watch him in the EPL.  It'll be good for the game over here, but
you obviously don't care about that.  :winking:

Paul Dalglish is Kelly Dalglish's brother, is he not?

Not so bizarre really. And completely understandible when you consider what his wife (and maybe what he) wants in life. Should be slightly less media scutiny now as well since he will be in an environment with many other very famous stars.

I have mixed feelings personally. Getting tickets to the LA Galaxy will now be a challenge and I only ever admitted publicly that David Beckham was any good after he moved to Madrid (privately I did, but most footie "fans" I meet here are tossers and support one of the red shirted scum) - now going to Galaxy games and supporting him publically would be awkward... if he signed for NUFC I would have no problem supporting him but my feelings toward the Galaxy are a bit more reserved. Add to the fact that now half the people showing up to Galaxy games will be wearing ManUre replicas I will be extremely irritated... I may even support the away team if it gets out of hand.

Seriously, how can anyone even justify £500,000 a week?

What's that compared to baseball, basketball wages?
