I could even stand the Coco thing when we had one player with 77. But now it kind of started to annoy me. It's like a virus.
Thinking of it, we might be the only team around with two notable players having the 77 shirt. This post has been edited by Fillipo Simone: Dec 22 2008, 02:37 PM |

"David Beckham's arrival in Milan is fascinating," writes Beppe Severgnini in today's Gazzetta dello Sport, opining that the midfielder's impact on the team's performance will ultimately be fairly negligible. "Maybe not for Milan's surviving midfielders, who for three months will need to run for him, too. It's fascinating because it sums up and explains modern football. A sporting spectacle, rather than just a spectacular sport."

Same old story, Beckhams celebrity lifestyle detracts away from what ability he actually has. The fact that he has never been a serious contender for World Player of the Year - late 90s/early 2000 especially - pretty much shows me that people seem to ignore his on field performances completely.

I don't think he's more than a very good player. He's not great, at least not in my book.

I agree with you on this though there is a general view of him as a star that also plays football instead of a footballer with a great image value. |

QUOTE (dst @ Dec 23 2008, 12:20 AM) I never thought he was great. I certainly did. I thought he was so good to the point where I hated him as a player, just because he was doing so well for United. So.. anybody actually think he will play? |

I think he was once the 4th best midfielder at Manchester United -- and given the names of the 3 guys ahead of him, that's a compliment -- but I also think that, sadly, there's more time spent being a celebrity than being a fotoballer these days.
As a reminder Fishdoll is still going on strike and will be a temporary zebra for the duration of Beckham's sojourn here. As for playing, yeah. I think he will at least in the friendly v the Huns. |

Beckham not a great? Sure, he was Manchester's most important player according to SAF himself because of his... hair.
He carried his NT to the WC finals all by himself with his good looks. He was instrumental in Madrid's title win with his celebrity... My god... |

Hey hang on...I thought he would be here rest of the season. I just found out, he's gonna be here 10 matches at the most. Now this deal looks wierd. I think this is an extended trial session, we're landing the S.O.B (son of Britain...I swear that's what I mean.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) in summer. Coz we can't make that much money over 3 months...
