MILAN, Italy (AP) - David Beckham will train with AC Milan beginning in January to stay in shape after the Major League Soccer season ends in the United States, Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reported.
Beckham wants to remain fit so that he can be called up to play in England's World Cup qualifying matches. England's coach Fabio Capello has said he will not pick players who are not playing in a league championship. "I'm in agreement with this and don't see any downside," the paper quoted Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti as saying. "We will get to know a true champion." The MLS season ends in November after which Beckham's Los Angeles Galaxy will travel to Australia and New Zealand in December to play friendlies. Beckham may stay in Europe after training with Milan to play either in Italy or Spain even though he has three years left on his contract with the Galaxy, Gazzetta said without citing sources. "Ancelotti and I will be waiting for Beckham at Milanello," Milan vice president Adriano Galliani told Gazzetta referring to his team's training grounds. "You all want to know if we will buy him? We'll talk about that in the future." |

Sure, Let's buy Pagliuca, Ayala and Figo to go with that...
Maybe they want him to become a future staff... But I'm tired of having old players occupying the roster. |

personally, i think he's staying at LA.
this would be one of the greatest PR disasters in the history of football. he came over here to make soccer big...if he left and went back to Europe that would basically be saying he failed. i think he's only doing it to keep in shape...nothing more. |

I think he misses the professional training atmosphere in Europe. Becks has always taken his soccer seriously, so this is good media buzz for Milan and good training for Becks. Win win.

I've been off the forums as I've been away for a few days, and I come back and the first thing I see is this... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Where do I start - okay, if its just training fine I don't care (personally I can't see much wrong with if its just that) If, however, it becomes a signing.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Its going to be a sadddd sadddd day for Milan. Signing MLS flops just the direction we would need to be heading in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

I don't think Beckham is a flop. Just that he's not been trained properly. If we wants to train with us, and maybe play a few games (Coppa), then perhaps we might loan him for a while. I see nothing wrong in that. I've always liked Beckham.
One of the best players I've seen who truly maximised the use of his talent. |

If he takes his soccer seriously, he could've signed with any MLS team besides the LA Galaxy, which in effect he did simply to sell shirts and so he and Bimbo Spice could have another venue (in this case, Hollywood) to cavort with the rich and famous. Think she would've had her own show had Beckham joined Salt Lake, Houston or Colorado? |
