Just imagine the scene. Him all there, with his wife. I mean you expect that. Well you’d need that. That is what is known as your actual package, isn’t. Your brand.
He’s like Cliff Richard in many ways. Been on the same journey. ‘Course everyone’s on a journey nowdays. Unless you’re trying to get from Colchester to Liverpool Street on a Sunday in which case you’re on a replacement bus next to some bloke eating an egg sandwich.
But like Cliff he was a much raved about star. Raved about to an excessive extent in some eyes, but then his popularity sort of leveled out in this country. We don’t like our celebs ‘up there’ for too long. We like to keep ’em on their toes. No matter how big you might think you are, disaster is but an expose in the News Of The Screws away.
So like Cliff, his fame mellowed over here as it increased over there. Like when Cliff was discovered, so to speak in Japan around about the same time released Carrie.
But now it looks like he’s making a return. You know, like Cliff did. We hadn’t seen sight nor sound him for what seemed like decades and then one day at CentreCourt, a spot of rain and a BBC sound engineer with a live mic and one acapella blast of Summer Holiday and suddenly – a legend is reborn.
And our man is experiencing a similar rejuvenation. Courtesy of the recent and failed World Cup bid.
That gormless tube Capello basically retired him or as good as tried to when making smalltalk on his way to a free lunch. But what the insolent Italian didn’t factor into his casual jibe was that the boy Beckham still had some fuel in the tank. That and most of the new generation of footballers were pretty rubbish, truth be told.
So once we negotiate the frankly confusing timings of the close of the MLS season and his loan deals and what have you, it transpires that David Beckham maybe gracing the Premiership. A swansong, if you like.
West Ham are purported to have declared an interest. No surprise there, at this stage Gold & Sullivan are submitting applications to X Factor on behalf of their players in the vain hope that something might be salvaged before the inevitable winding up order lands on their mat.
But word is that Beckham could indulge Spurs with a season. That’s the word. What say you?
if villa are willing to sell us young for two bob and whatever else we don’t really need i say go get him redslopps we need a winger to cover both sides and adam johnson isn’t possible
if they want bentley so be it,we can take beckham on loan,i never understand the hate this guy gets,he is a true professional and has a diamond right foot,who gives a f&ck about the media,i know i don’t
a left back and big Carrol and that’s us done for a few months
i managed to log on,its a miracle
someone promise me we’ll beat the chavs and make their life unbearable before they play yanited
COYS
Beckham for shirt sales, generally raising the Spurs profile, some mentoring for our young guys,
his experience, presence, media savvy and ambassadorial duties are all good reasons to get him on board. BUT he does bring with him all the media circus and hype which could be distracting. On the playing side he could only realistically be an impact sub. Mind you we could probably bring him on for free kicks and especially penalties. More important that we get rid of our dead wood asap and bring in one quality central midfielder like Lassana Diarra, cover for left wing possibly Pienaar ( he can also cover across all midfield positions), and at least one forward…hopefully 2. Any 2 of Llorente, Suarez, Carroll, Aguerro would be great. COYS
Beckham would be a swansong but why let him jepardise our chances of getting back into the CL – thanks, but really, too kind, now feck orf Posh
Great idea. Why don’t we erect a giant big top and stick a few extra seats in it too.
Madness!
I don’t want that overly groomed has been and his miserable runt of a missus anywhere near the Lane.
We need a fucking striker FFS!
you know harry redknapp would love it,it might give him the edge for the england job :daumen:
i have a horrible feeling they won’t be getting us a striker in the window just more midfielders
If we’re talking about buying another midfielder, we need to buy a right nasty cunt. Not a wishy washy, washed up pin up.
Goons – pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass…
Spurs – cross, cross, cross, cross, cross…
We should buy someone to get on the end of all the crosses rather than another source of them :angry:
BINGO!
The thing about Arsenals counter attacking game is that it leaves them exposed at the back which is just how Wenger likes it.
I totally agree and cannot understand why we are even thinking about Beckham and his baggage,but no real effort to get a quality striker.
