Well Beckham is reluctantly going back to the MLS. He may be the star, but he certainly isn't the best! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Is that a fact or is there some old feelings for Juan Pablo Angel behind that statement? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

Looked up his MLS stats and he's doing great over there.

Did not know he got the same birthday as me, 24 october. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Angel is one of the league's better players. Well-liked too.

(Fishdoll likes him even if he DOES play for NY.)

Yes he's done well. I believe he even captains the team now? He also tok them to the MLS Finals, but lost. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

He is very likable! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Still on the topic of MLS.. what's the situation with Becks' teammate Landon Donovan, is he being bought by Bayren or is it a similar situation to Becks where they aren't prepared to pay up or something?

Galaxy dismiss Beckham reports

Los Angeles Galaxy coach Bruce Arena has dismissed reports suggesting AC Milan are on the verge of agreeing a deal for David Beckham.

The England international is at the centre of a long-running transfer saga after expressing a desire to make his loan move to the San Siro permanent in order to reinforce his chances of playing at the 2010 World Cup.

Milan are understood to have had an initial bid in the region of £6million rejected by Galaxy, who are thought to want around £8m for the midfielder, but the Serie A club's vice-president Adriano Galliani claimed on Thursday that "progress" had been made.

Arena, though, has reiterated that he expects former Manchester United and Real Madrid star Beckham to return to America when his temporary venture in Italy comes to an end on March 9.

"I suspect those rumours, in terms of AC Milan sending a delegation over, were not accurate," Arena told Sky Sports News.

Rumours have suggested Galaxy could be prepared to accept a cash-plus-player deal, involving either Kakha Kaladze or Daniele Bonera, as Milan look for alternatives in striking an agreement.

Arena confesses there will be will be further talks with Milan, but insists that, if the situation changes, MLS outfit Galaxy will be the club to prosper.

"Certainly there will be discussions with Milan as we move down the road," he added.

"But again, as we have stated all along, as of now, we fully anticipate David to be back, as well as Landon (Donovan - on loan to Bayern Munich).

"However, if anything changes, the change will be to the benefit of Galaxy. We have said that all along and have tried to be consistent with that.

"If things change, they change. But, right now, we anticipate both players being back."

I feel sorry for him. Even a simple transfers been blown out of all proportion due to both sides being a bit petty over it.

Yeh he's caught in a fairly rough spot,he's worth alot more to the MLS than he is to Milan as long as there's that divide i don't see how the clubs can come to an agreed transfer fee.



Does anyone know how the "buying out the contract" works exactly?and how much would Becks need to fork out?
Is that really an option?

The Galaxy bought Beckham to make money and he played a key role in sponsor deals and ticket sales. If he goes, lots of angry MLS customers in America. Milan, however, views him at a 33 year old right sided midfielder on his last legs. Hence the divide

And Juan Pablo Angle has done great in MLS - a class act and still have a great first touch

Sometimes you don't take the time to appreciate a player during his career. During his time at United, I hated how many free-kicks he scored and how many points he won United, but now at 33, I think I should start appreciated just how damn good those free-kicks were.

Beckham free-kicks..
