Nice to see people here proclaim City are above Beckham. Interesting viewpoint regardless of how wrong it it.
Wait, what is this I don't even....
It simply means that going by people's comments in this thread such as "wtf", "no thanks", "backwards step", "what could a 34 year old offer us" shows that people can't see past the fact he was a United player. Beckham is still one of the best English midfielders, if people can't see this then there is something wrong, as is asking what can he offer City, is that outside of being a great footballer, one of the biggest names in WORLD football which would bring attention from different markets, and give yet even more credibility to the project from people. Some people need to take a long hard think about their opinions. You even have someone in this thread saying that because Beckham calls football soccer that " I hate that dick more every time I see him" without taking into account that he is in America talking to the American audience to which football IS called soccer. This thread isn't a debate, it's just a gathered rant against a player without taking into account any facts, stats or common sense.
Well seeing as your so into your facts mate, Beckham whored his career to sign for a team in a league with worse standard than the Championship, then didn't even have the guts to stick with them, he sold Galaxy down the river to join Milan. I did take into account the fact he was talking to an American audience but it made my skin crawl hearing an Englishman calling football 'soccer' regardless of who he was talking to. As for saying I hate that dick more every time I see him, not going to apologise for that, it's true. I find it embarrassing that when he appears for England (off the bench) he gets a bigger ovation from opposition fans than English supporters. If you want to believe that Beckham's still up there with the best players in the world then thats you carry on thinking that pal, you're entitled to your opinion.
Beckham "whored his career" is a tag that lots of people are throwing at our targets right now too then, we woman at the press doing it to us, but you deem it OK to do to others. Did Beckham feel he could help promote Football in the USA, yes. Has Beckham been able to increase interest of soccer in USA, yes and no, it's very popular with females, one of the best women's teams in the world, though in fairness, was before Beckham, but he created more interest in it and more girls taking the sport up. I wouldn't call his aim of making football as big as he thought he could a success though, but fair play for trying, Best and Pele before him failed, but unlike them he gave it a go in his prime.
He "sold Galaxy down the river" is that by joining Milan in a timeshare so he could stay fit for his country? What a bloody bastard! And paying for deal himself, again, what a bastard. How dare a player wanting to play more competitive football to improve his game at the international level, after all, that is how we got David James.
I'm sure if Beckham REALLY wanted to do the dirty to Galaxy, then he could just buy out his contract easily since all Galaxy are looking for in a permanent transfer is £10m-£15m. But Beckham has went back to help in their campaign after a long one last season for them and then going to Milan with no rest between their seasons and again, with next to no rest is back at Galaxy.
It doesn't matter what nationality a player is, please get past the whole English player calling "football" as "soccer", he was right to do so, you describe things in the market in which you play in. Very very simple. You take into account who interview is for, how it is best to put across your interview so it meets as wide as audience to understand.
Beckham has set up more goals for England during the 2008/09 season with 6 assists when playing less games than rest of squad (less again when you take into account how few were starts). So he sets up more goals than any other England player in the squad, fact, but doesn't belong in any shape, way or form in the England squad. Very strange.
