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...

It was always going to be that way Jack, He'll come over while the MLS is on hiatus, sort of like the Larsson deal Man U did 2 seasons ago.

And I don't think there's a chance of us landing him permanently, he has a massive deal with the Galaxy, if we wanted him we should have pushed for him when he left Real, simple as that, now it's too late. Hopefully we'll make a couple of millions during these 3 months

I think both of them had the idea of going over to the states and making waves the way they do in Europe, plus Tom and Katie were very convincing on that front also.

Like I said, I hope this 3 month long stay will fulfill whatever expectations both parties involved have. Milan the marketing aspect of it all and Beckham gets to go to the 2010 WC.

Beckham Impresses Maldini At AC Milan
Milan captain Paolo Maldini has praised the work ethic of loan signing David Beckham.

The England midfield star is currently training in Dubai with the rest of the Milan squad after joining the team on a short-term deal from the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Beckham has not played since the end of the MLS season in October, but Maldini is confident the former Manchester United star will be match fit soon.

“Beckham is a great champion, but we shouldn't forget that he has come into a great team and a great club like Milan,” said the captain.

“We players don't care what his life is like off the pitch, we have found a lad who has not trained for two and a half months, but I have had the chance to talk to him and I noticed his determination and his great desire to put himself to work immediately to return to playing as soon as possible,” said Maldini.

Beckham’s stint at the Rossoneri officially starts on January 7 and he could make his debut four days later, in a Serie A encounter against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

True, but being the captain of the club, I'd say this statement is all part of a plan! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) Besides, it's always nice to welcome some new chap in with good words, makes him feel more confident. I know it's Beckham we're talking about, and that this doesn't always work (case in point Sanderos), but still it was a nice gesture from Paolo.

And one that was required. Besides, love him or hate him, this Becks guy sure does work hard. He's probably the best guy I know who's maximized his limited talents to the limits. Fingers crossed, he'll come out good - three months stay or otherwise.

Miz does not know what being impressed means... she idolizes a guy that stands still even when bombs explode next to him... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Yea, really why won't you change it?

C'mmon, let's see what you've got. I bet you'r going to put a Carletto sig, like Rivaldo has.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Beckham is on loan from LA Galaxy and, although the contract lasts until June 30, Milan have a “gentlemen’s agreement” to release him on March 9 for the start of the MLS season.

If there really is such a thing I hope we won't break it... this has nothing to do with Beckham, breaking such a deal would be utterly discourteous.

There may yet come a day when I put a Carlo signature, buddy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) I don't hate the man, he's a top flight coach, after all. Don't hold your breath for it, though.

You didn't, you still need convincing - go to the Happy New Year thread you started.

x2, not to mention it'd destroy what credibility we have left, especially if the "gentleman" is Galliani. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Although I think it's more than an agreement, it's in the contract. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Okay, it's done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) Having said that, the dark side was pretty tempting - I had a very hard time coming back. It just grabbed me, and didn't let go. Maybe we'll do this again?! Na! And oh, I'll answer your question in the New Year's Thread in a moment, milanista1899.

Having said that even though this was the worse signature I ever owned, I'll make sure this lives forever in history. Gotta think something up. Hmm? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) Oh, the evil in me!

The plus side is that the Beckham Milan jerseys will keep selling long after he returns to LA
